When I think about the Pentagon, I picture more than just a massive five-sided building. It represents a part of American history that I’ve always found fascinating. What interests me most is how much history is connected to one place. Built during World War II, the Pentagon has witnessed decades of major events and changes in American life. To me, the Pentagon is a reminder that buildings can become symbols. It’s not simply offices and hallways—it’s a place connected to the people, decisions, and events that have shaped the country. Even from a distance, there’s something powerful about knowing how much history has passed through its walls. -Peyton, LCS

On our final day in Washington we listened to Senator Ashley Moody. Senator Moody shared, what I thought was the best piece of advice: “try to be a good person all the time and work hard”. Advice we can and should follow. I also enjoyed learning about Senator Moody’s pathway to becoming a U.S senator. Thank you so much for your time Senator Moody. - Lucas, All Saints Academy

During day 3 of Congressional Classroom we got to speak with Abbey Roswell and Abbey Hurlbrink. They work for OnMessage Public Strategies where they are lobbyists and associates respectively. They explained how they love that their jobs are constantly changing with new tasks and people to meet everyday. For me it was awesome hearing their advice that they changed what they wanted to do a lot in college and still aren’t completely sure where they want their career to go, so it is totally okay for us as young students to not be completely sure what job we want to do in the future. They also told us that a big part of their professional success they attribute to the great mentors they have kept in contact with through their career and highly encouraged us to do the same as we start to encounter people who want to be involved and are interested in our success. -Jacob, McKeel Academy

Last Tuesday, Representative Scott Franklin took time out of his busy schedule to come meet with us. Representative Franklin spoke to us about work ethic, his own obstacles that he overcame, and to never stop trying. Mr. Franklin focused on educating us about a bipartisan government and how importance it is to create connections and be a true teammate. Mr. Franklin even shared his own story of how he lost his high school senior year’s class president election and how that motivated him to never let an obstacle get in his way. Mr. Franklin truly is an inspiration to us all.

During our Congressional Classroom trip, we met with Senator Rick Scott. He graduated from law school, served in the US Navy, was elected as the governor of Florida, and now represents Florida in the US Senate. He encouraged us to get involved in politics and to focus on three main topics: jobs, education, and safety. Senator Scott said his most important priority is the economy, as a result of the hardships he experienced in his youth. He told us to take risks and to not let failure stop us, using his example of when he was once in debt during his time as the CEO of a healthcare company. During that time, Scott faced lots of adversity, taking him 2 years of hard work 24/7 to get out of that debt. We thoroughly enjoyed our time speaking with him, learning many lessons from an accomplished politician like Rick Scott. - Ryon, Lakeland High School

Listening to Emily Nabong was inspiring because of her passion for her career and her desire to make an impact. Her experience as a civil engineering student, Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines, and science policy fellowship showed me that success does not always follow one path.

The quote that stood out to me the most was, ‘Don’t be afraid to do things you didn’t consider.’ It reminded me to stay open to new opportunities and not be afraid to step outside my comfort zone. Emily’s story motivated me to follow my interests and find a career that I am passionate about. -Zohely, George Jenkins High School/ Polk RISE!

(Note: was in the Randy Roberts Foundation's Inaugural Congressional Classroom in 2011, we are so very proud of her!)

Mock Congress was a really interesting experience because it showed me what it is actually like to debate and make decisions about laws. We talked about different bills and acts, including, Sunshine Protection Act, SAFE act, Remittance Transfer Fee / Border Security Bill, SAFE Drugs Act of 2025. I learned that Congress is not just about agreeing with people it is about researching both sides, listening to other opinions, and being able to defend your own ideas.One thing I learned is that even small changes to a law can have a big impact on people. I also learned how important it is to have evidence and examples when making an argument. Mock Congress helped me understand how the government works and made me more confident speaking up for what I believe in.

During our time in Washington, D.C., we had the opportunity to learn about Supreme Court K9 officer who specializes in bomb detection. His job is to help protect the Supreme Court, its employees, and visitors by working with specially trained K9s to detect explosive threats. What interested me most was how much training, focus, and trust are required between the officer and the dog. Learning about his career showed me how important the people working behind the scenes are to keeping major government buildings safe. It was also interesting to see how law enforcement can combine K9 work, security, and specialized training to protect people every day.
