I've been waiting to post about this until the pictures became available, because I love pictures and they are awesome. Part of being the WTS Scholarship winner is that I get invited to cool events, and get to have private meetings with important people. People like the Secretary of the Department of Transportation Ray LaHood. That's me to the left of him! Mayor Ralph Becker was also there. I was standing next to him at the stop light across from Abravanel Hall and didn't even notice it!
This was a very cool event. I was surrounded by smart, intelligent, professional women working in transportation. When I met Secretary LaHood, I mentioned that I liked his pin (from his earlier event of the Sugarhouse Streetcar groundbreaking) and then he gave it to me! Very cool. I felt super cool as I left the event and walked home (too bad I found out a couple days later that I didn't get an internship with the DOT). Awesome night.
