So I got nominated by a teacher to go to this program in Washington DC. I was just wondering if anyone has gone to it before, what it's like etc. I'm missing my feb break for it which means I can't ski... think it's a good choice?

If you're into that by all means man. There may be more exciting things that attract you now like skiing but when your older you'll prolly think back on this and say 'cool'  There are always more spring breaks.

I went and I LOVED it. I didn't touch politics for a while after but the skills i learned I got to apply right away on student council. Later I got a political internship over college graduates because of the experience it gave me. Its a really respected program and was really a great forum. I am extremely grateful I got nominated out of 300 girls and really glad I got to go. I still use the skills it gave me years later and I still keep in touch with the kids I met there. GO and be thrilled you got nominated. Congratulations!

it's really a great thing to do.  both of my sisters and i did it. you learn so much and it's a great environment. lots of fun. you should do it and miss skiing. well worth it.

I got nominated twice, damn waste of paper.. anyway yeah they seem cool but I went to a different similar thing. It was alright, not really my style but a lot of people looove it. but that was kind of different from what you're talking about.
