Personal Statement
Describe the world you come from-- for example, your family, community or school--and tell us how your world has shaped your dream to journey to Mars.
If I could present my world as a painting, it would most certainly be colorful and vibrant.
I have grown up in the very different surroundings of
Santa Barbara, California and Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.
I am traveling constantly so moving around is like a second nature to me. Even though I have always lived in California, Wisconsin has always been a home to me. My family has consisted of two people: my mom and myself. I am very influenced by my mom. She has always been a great impact on my dreams, goals, and personality.
My world has influenced my decision on my journey to Mars. This all started on November 14, as the 8th-grade class listened to Maxi's hero, Scott Kelly. This is because he was one of the first people to travel in space for over a year. I have always wanted to be like him, and go to space. Instead of just going to space, I wanted to aim high past the sky and go to Mars.
