Mr. Frohlichstein Goes to Washington.

FIRST person narrative; NARRATION; CAPITOL pages; UNITED States Congress personnel; HIGH school students; UNITED States Capitol (Washington, D.C.)

The author discusses his experiences as a 16-year-old congressional page. As a page, he served between offices in Capitol Hill and occasionally got to listen to congressional debates. In the morning, he attended the High School Page School. The highlight was attending U.S. President George W. Bush's State of the Union Address on January 31, 2006. He thinks that the experience is great and hopes to go back to Washington as an elected official.
