The author describes his internship experience working in Senator John McCain's office in the United States Senate. On his first day, he felt intimidated passing through the grand hallways and finally receiving his Senate ID. As an intern, his tasks included sorting mail, fulfilling constituent requests like flags and tours, and giving tours to important visitors. While the work was meaningful, he also gained a more cynical view of how the government operates, such as bills being written by young assistants and theatrics driving legislative work. Overall, the internship provided unique knowledge of American politics that will help advance society.
