My top ten favorite things/experiences at the People to People World Leadership Forum:

1. The freedom and independence I had to make my own decisions and be responsible for myself.

2. All the new friends I made from around the country.

3. The International Spy Museum. Awesome hands-on exhibits! One computer uses a satellite to take a picture of your home from space!

4. Colonial Williamsburg. It was a really fun place with lots of interesting interactive exhibits and neat shops.

5. The FDR Memorial. A very serene place with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

6. The Air & Space Museum IMAX Show. The 3D Presentation on the International Space Station was great!

7. Vietnam Veterans Memorial. There, I found the name of a teacher's nephew who died in the war.

8. Arlington National Cemetery. It gave me a new appreciation for our troops overseas.

9. Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Lots of awesome music!

10. The Embassy Appointment. Not everyone gets to have an appointment at a foreign embassy!
