Save the best for last.

The saying really is true: “Save the best for last”. Since today was the keystone moment of the entire convention, it should come as no surprise that it was overwhelmingly the best day that this week had to offer.

First, we started the morning with an incredible breakfast with the Georgia Delegation. And again, my expectations were exceeded. Speaker of the House John Boehner came and spoke to the entire delegation. He spoke with a lot of the typical political talking points, but he gave us a little insight into the way the House of Representatives truly operates. Whereas a lot of perspective on Congress comes solely from the news media, we were able to see what happens within the walls. Speaker Boehner was constantly picking on Georgia Representatives, even calling Representative Austin Scott “sweetheart” in jest. It was such a unique experience and it only started what would be a very long day. After a few hours, we were lucky enough to attend a reception in honor of Attorney General Sam Olens. What transpired was nothing but great conversation and more networking with the delegates.

After the reception, it was finally my time to attend the convention and see the activities first hand. To say that attending the last day of the RNC was “incredible” would be an understatement. The final day of any convention, Republican or Democrat, is bound to be one of the most electric environments imaginable. The lineup tonight was one that could really send the Republican Party home with passion in their hearts, and they did not disappoint. The introduction that Representative Marco Rubio delivered was, in my opinion, phenomenal. As Governor Romney followed, he gave a speech that covered all bases and really appealed to the majority of American voters. In terms of political speeches, I believe that the Republican Party went on the offensive and placed the ball in the court of the Democrats.

This entire experience has been absolutely life-changing and I hope that I am able to make it back in another four years.
