Hannah Guillaume - Fall 2006
Hannah GuillaumeI am joining the Scripps Howard Foundation Semester in Washington Program from the University of Alaska Anchorage. This three-month stint in Washington marks No. 8 on my list of cities lived in during adulthood.
At 16, I moved out of my parent’s house in Minnesota. My first driver’s license helped take me west in a Ford station wagon on Highway 94. I ended up waiting tables in Seattle and took distance-learning classes to finish high school.
Since then I have lived in multiple cities, including a year of journalism study involving a short time covering the State Legislature in Austin, Texas.
I know I will enjoy writing about the games of politics, the rules of D.C.’s appellate courts and the life stories of the city’s residents, and I thank the Scripps Howard Foundation for this remarkable opportunity.
