The Journey students met with two persons today who were an inspiration to be around and were genuinely pleased to be speaking them. The meetings with U.S. Senator Carl Levin and Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor came after a guided tour of the Capitol Building and visits to the Air and Space Museum and the Museum of the American Indian.
We were invited into the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building to meet with Senator Levin at 2:00 pm. We then walked over to the Supreme Court Building and were ushered to a meeting room where we met with her Honor Sotomayor. We have posted pictures of Senator Levin speaking with students. The group picture will be forth coming. We had a group picture taken with the Supreme Court Justice but it is not for posting or for use with any publication. That is the policy of the Supreme Court Justices. We did however take pictures of the students in the meeting room before and after our time with the Justice.
Students were asked for their reflections on the meetings with the Senator and the Justice and they appear below.
