"I have a very supportive family and group of friends.  Without them, I am sure that I would not have made it this far, and that I would not be able achieve what I plan to in the future.  I have always wanted to be an astronaut and I have always wanted to work for NASA.  I am glad that NASA Academy is an integral part of my path to success and I am excited about the experience!"
