I cannot believe that this is my last Presidential Leadership Academy (PLA) blog. For the past four years, I’ve been writing approximately one blog per week for PLA or for my freshman year Rhetoric and Civic Life course. It’s strange to think that I will most likely...

I really wish I could have gone on the Presidential Leadership Academy (PLA) trip to Baltimore, Maryland this weekend. I have been to Baltimore twice growing up, so it would have been nice to see it from a more adult perspective with the PLA. However, as I sit looking...
