Last week, ESL students from Stratford University went to the Capitol building. We met at the Capitol South metro station and headed towards the building. It was really amazing to see the huge beautiful building.
However, it was not easy. You have to go through a tight security screening for safety and security. We were guided by a Congressional intern from the building, he was nice and friendly. There were very beautiful paintings of American history, which was awesome.
Inside the building, there were many statues of great American personalities. The most amazing statue was of the statue of Freedom which is more than 13 foot high. It was once carried by helicopter, cleaned and replaced on top of the building. On the statue, the Snake represents Wisdom and the Eagle represents Freedom.
The building is the symbol of unity as well as love for building a nation together. We also got chance to watch a short historical movie about the Capitol building. I was glad to see and learn the history of The United State of America.
