“I read an autobiography of an astronaut, and then I
read another. Around the same time I started doing
robotics and stuff in high school. I was like, “This
would be cool to do”. I’d like to work with NASA or
for a similar company. I want to get my master’s in
aerospace engineering. I’d like to do something
along the lines of rocket design. I’ve always had an
interest in it. I don’t particularly love math, but I love
the idea of going to different planets. It’s incredible
to think about how big the universe is. Just trying
to count every grain of sand on a beach is kind of
mindblowing on it’s own. To think that there wouldn’t
be life on another planet would be assuming too
much. Especially because life can be considered
as a tiny, little piece of bacteria. There’s gotta be
something out there.”
