Hello,

Personal Essay:

The District of Columbia holds the beginning of American history. I know this because in my 6th grade history class we touched a lot about this topic. Before we went on this trip I did a little bit of research about the National Mall and its surroundings. We were all excited for this adventure and it was my first time in the District of Columbia, this part of the country if full of rich history and architecture.

The first week we tackled half the National Mall on foot, we visited the right half of it and we saw the Smithsonian Castle, National Air and Space Museum, Botanic Garden, U.S Capitol, National Museum of American History, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and the Sculpture Garden. My first week was incredible and my favorite was the Library of Congress because it was built hundreds of years ago and it has so much history in it. For example, Thomas Jefferson donated 6,487 of his own books that he read in the 1800’s. John Adams built this Library to honor him as a person and as a president who accomplished so much in his life time.

The second week was easier getting around the National Mall and we were acclimated and everything around us was familiar and easier to get around. That week we visited the White House, the FDR Memorial, the MLK memorial, Washington Monument, National Gallery of Art, World War 2 Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, National Museum of Natural History, and the National Archives. My favorite that week was the National archives building because we got to see the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. These were the documents that made this country how it is today. For example, without these documents this country would be totally different.

I could not have done this without the wonderful transportation Washington D.C has. For example, the underground metro system made it easier get from place to place without a car. To me it seems unreal but at the same time incredible that mankind can create a system of interlocking railways underground. Especially we visited Union Station which was beautiful. We also took the circulator around the National Mall. The circulator was a bus that picked you up and drove you around it and dropped you off at the places you wanted to stop at. In the end my favorite was the subway because it was so cool, fast and first time on it and of course, we rode it every single day.

In conclusion, now I am very familiar with Washington D.C. (National Mall). Since I visited this great place I have more of a profound knowledge how beautiful this country is. Lastly, we walked an average of 5 miles a day. I did not seem to get tired because of all the excitement there was to see in each of these chronicle sites.
