Back Home

By now the internsip is over, all of the interns should be back home by now. I got home this past Saturday, and it felt like I haven't been back. I adjusted quite quickly, especially when compared with last year when I returned from interning in Armenia with the Assembly. I'll speak on behalf of all the interns in DC and say that we all had a great time, learned a lot, and will always remember the past two months. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this blog, I'm sure you did and I know that there are millions of you out there that were hooked ;). So where does this leave Levon?

Well, I'm a two time Assembly intern now, both in Armenia and DC, so I've been exposed to Armenian issues. Compared to two years ago, I know a lot more of what's going on concerning Armenia and the Diaspora. I'm very glad I embarked on these trips since I learned a lot and met a bunch of cool people, and the contacts I made with them will definitely last. I got to spend time with fellow interns from Armenia while I was on the East Coast, as well as reuniting with some good friends that I made last summer.

One night the Assembly briefed us on the internship in Armenia and had me describe my experience. Afterwards, a lot of the interns were talking about interning in Armenia. I hope they do, it will be a great experience, one that I wish I could repeat. I also would like to encourage the readers of this blog to spread the word about the Armenia Assembly of America Internships. The more young Armenians get exposed to these programs, the better off we will be in the future.

So from all the DC interns, thank you to those who made the internship program happen, we had a great time!
