In this life, one of the most interesting and important things is the constant fact of learning, discovering and visiting new things wherever and whenever. So, last week while I was traveling to Lincoln for the UNL career fair, I asked one of my professors what that huge tower in the middle of the city is. Honestly, I had already been to Lincoln several times since I arrived at Doane in August. However, I had never wondered what that peculiar big tower would be or what it would be used for, until that day.
My professor Sarah Begay told me that it is the State Capitol of Nebraska, the most important building in the state, and at the same time, she told me that there were free tours to visit the building. That is when I got curious, and directly after, I visited the web page and set a time on my schedule for Sunday to assist with a guided tour. It was a very interesting tour. The history of the building is incredible, and visiting the different murals, mosaics, busts and so on with their respective stories and explanations helps you to understand much more about the history of Nebraska, the city and the people. The tour guide explained everything very well and made the tour quite attractive. I highly recommend visiting this building and discovering more about Nebraska’s history.
In conclusion, the main point of this article is to highlight the huge opportunities that we have to learn new things about the world around us. Furthermore, there are a lot of times when we need to be curious and open-minded and try to discover things that are closer to us than we often realize.
