Youth Trek

Today was another spectacular day. We had so many things planned that I have to take a second to think about them all. We went to five different places, not including the extra places like the times we went back to the hotel and the eating places. First we went to the Chicago History Museum, then Adelstein Liston, then Community Health, then the Senator Kirk Office. To save some time, I will speak of my two favorite places in great detail but I will also mention what things I liked about the rest. My two favorite places were Community Health and the Senator Kirk Office. I chose Community Health because I aspire to be a Pediatrician and thought that it was an absolutely amazing idea to start a free clinic for those who need it the most. Our tour guide, Judith Haasis, was extremely nice and easy to talk to. First, she talked to us about the wonderful things she does in the building and how she has another sight. She talked to us about all sorts of things from having over 1,300 volunteers to how they treat patients who need the most attention to how they have their own pharmacy in the clinic. That was truly unbelievable because I love helping others and can't stand the sight of those suffering. I have chosen to be a  Pediatrician for now, but I have also wanted to be a teacher, open an orphanage, and help special education children. My other favorite place that we went to was the Senator Kirk Office. I feel this way because the two men that were talking to us were very friendly, made good eye-contact, and made me feel like I could ask any question that I wanted. They were very high-spirited and got us involved in conversation. They also showed us the room in which President Obama stayed when he was the former Senator of Illinois. His old desk was still in there and it was such a great view from the 39th floor. We also went to the Chicago History Museum which I enjoyed a lot. Although we only stayed for a short while my favorite part was when we saw this super amazing magician who included us in his act. It was very interesting and we had a great laugh trying to figure out how he did his tricks. The other place that we went was Adelstein Liston which was all about the media. There, they make different types of commercials about different types of things such as politics and/or things that go on around the world. I enjoyed myself to the fullest today and am so excited to see what is next. --Leeya
