Internship Journal 11

This week was the home stretch in preparing for our committee’s hearing with the

Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA). At this point, everyone in the office

was walking on eggshells because of the sheer preparation that still needed to occur. As a

committee, it is our role to prepare, inform, and set up for the hearings. We informed all of the

Member Legislative Aids (LA’s) of the overarching topics to be discussed in the hearings. In

addition to hearing preparation, this was the last week before a 2-week recess, which meant there

were a lot of hearings in both the house and senate that we needed to track and read out to the

team. The hearings were related to Chinese investment in agriculture, house appropriations bills,

and different program bills being voted on. On Wednesday, we had our hearing, and it went very

well. It is really interesting to see how the work and observance we put into SBA oversight leads

to thoughtful questioning and high expectations for our federal agencies. Later in the week, I

began “Spring Break” and worked from home Wednesday and Thursday. This was relaxing but

also super stressful because I had a lot of work to do and needed to balance my time to make sure

I got my work done. On Friday, I was back in the office for my Stennis Congressional Program

meeting. In this meeting, we got to learn about Congressional Powers and closed out the meeting

working with our groups to finish our “Loan Program Project." I am excited to have a more

relaxed couple of weeks and will be working to finalize my project and obtain a job after the

completion of my internship.
