Yesterday, on  February 4th my government class with teacher Mr. Reints went to Pierre, which is the capital of South Dakota. We have had a really long trip but everything was awesome and we learnt a lot. We have been in the state capitol and met the representatives from our district. One of the most exciting parts of our trip was that we had a really good conversation with our district’s representatives.  We also got chance to participate of State Affairs Committee meeting. It was very interesting to be there and see how everything that we learn in our government class is actually happening. We have also got chance to be in House of Representative’s session, say the Pledge of Allegiance with South Dakota representatives and see how  they are voting. 

     While looking at the pictures of all representatives and Senators, we have found a picture of representative from Langford, who has been representative more than one hundred years ago. It was exciting too.

     So, although the trip was really long and all of us were tired we had lots of fun. I’m so happy that I’ve got this chance to be in South Dakota State capitol. It’s going to be one of the best parts of my exchange year.
