With a keen interest in politics and governance, Oliver immersed himself in the inner workings of the U.S. Capitol, gaining invaluable insights into legislative processes and democratic principles. Oliver emerged not only enriched with firsthand experience but also inspired to pursue his aspirations in public service. Oliver hopes to attend the Air Force Academy after his time in EGHS. His time in the U.S. Page Program marks just the beginning of a promising future dedicated to making a positive impact on society.
