The University of California, Los Angeles Summer Institute on LA Media and Politics
Held at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Junior State of America Summer Institute was the highlight of my summer 2019! From interviewing city officials such as the City Controller of Los Angeles to collaborating to create a culminating research project, the Institute helped enhance my knowledge on Los Angeles Media and Politics.
Less than 40 applicants were selected to attend the program. I met people from all across the United States that have such compelling backgrounds!
While applying for the Institute, one of the questions was asking about a social issue that you care deeply about. If I remember correctly, I decided to write about gun control in the United States. While attending this Institute, so many different views were brought to my attention. One of the great lessons that I learned while attending the Institute was that even if you may not agree with someone regarding your opinions, you should respect their perspective. "Agree to disagree!".
Overall, I loved learning on campus and exploring UCLA for the first time!
