Midway through my trek, a woman of twenty-three slackened her pace until she matched my stride. With little warning, the sphere of isolation I recused myself to was penetrtated by a skinny girl with a huge smile.

�I think I�m going to like you, Jonathan,� she says with enough ease that I actually believe her. One hand � the right one �finds its way between my left arm and my body and she grasps my arm, pulling me closer.

�You�ve got this calm about you�� she begins to tell me as I stifle a scoff. �yeah? �, I ask lethargically. This woman soon proved to be the first strong bond I formed in D.C.


We're sitting in class a few days later when our fascinating professor Dr. Daly explains to us what an elevator speech is and how we'll be giving a lot of them during our time in D.C. Our classroom is actually an office conference building a few blocks north of the White House. On the floors below and above us are different lobbying firms and the building to the left houses the Mexican embassy. Ironically, a block north of the embassy is Baja Fresh -- the poor man's chipotle.

Anyway, I sat at the opposite head of the giant conference table -- directly opposite the professor, and Melissa sat on his right hand side, so she went last and I went in the middle.

" Hi. My name is Jonathan--" Oh yeah. No more Jon. Jonathan has regrown on me."I'm a junior English major interning at the Department of State. Prior to arriving in D.C., I worked at a Children's Hospital where I provided crisis intervention to juvenile rape victims. I hope to continue this line of work with human trafficking victims after law school."

Melissa's was almost identical except that she worked with victims who were in group homes for girls and I worked with boys and girls right after their attack. And whereas I hope to work with human trafficking victims in one of my two favorite bay areas ( San Fran and Houston ), she's going to Boston to do so.


I knew we had something special that day.
