I have ALWAYS wanted to be an astronaut, I cannot remember a moment in my life when I
haven't wanted to be one. I love the stars, space and flying. I hope that I am truly on my
way. I am 14 years old and this year I get to begin my flight training. I get to fly!
I am a good student, I have an A average in grades K-8. I play sports, participate in the school
play, and volunteer at our small regional hospital 8 hours per week. I am also a mentor to
two little girls who are Pre-Kindergarten students in our school. I cannot wait to tell them that
I can fly! They will be so amazed. I am being raised to always reach for the stars, and in my
life that is literally what I am reaching for. What an honor it would be to inspire other girls to
reach for the stars too! I really love helping others, I love science, I love flying and I would love
to be able to inspire other girls to fly too.
Oh yes, and it would be so awesome to fly with my 85 year old grandmother who is also a
pilot! I hope that you will consider me to worthy of the Girls with Wings Scholarship.
