Sarah Bonnier

Political Studies, University of Alberta
Internship: Stockwell Day, MP

"What I learned at my internship, I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The lessons I learned taught me a critical work ethic, and that leadership is much more than simply having a body of followers. Every day is an exciting challenge, and to be part of the political process has made every penny of this program worthwhile. I know that I gained an amazing incomparable, life-changing experience."
