Personal Narrative: A Career In Space Exploration

NASA looks for group work skills and the love to learn. Once selected by NASA you will have two years of basic training. Once they are selected for a flight they will go through mission training for a few years.

As the fiery pillar of smoke climbed ever faster towards the night sky, I stood mouth agape at age five as I watched the launch of the Discovery Space Shuttle in Cape Canaveral, birthing my fascination with the depths of space. At age eighteen, my sense of purpose was clearer than ever in a high school classroom while watching footage of the spacewalk mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, an inspiration for me to pursue higher education in engineering with aspirations of becoming an astronaut. By age twenty three, I had been working at my first full time job as an engineer for the Department of Defense for nearly a year when I unexpectedly failed a flight physical due to minor, yet untreatable, health conditions. Now, realizing that my chances of becoming an astronaut are beyond my control, my reasoning for undertaking graduate work is to enable myself to contribute to a field that ultimately helps others do the things their bodies keep them from doing. I want to help put those people back in control of doing the things they dream to do.

Aerospace Engineering is a subset of Mechanical engineering focusing on aerospace technologies. Aerospace engineers require at least a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, or a related engineering field. Nationally

NASA, also known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is a government funded organization dedicated to the research of aeronautics, astrophysics, robots and more alongside pioneering the future of space exploration. For the last 58 years NASA has become the most iconic name in extraterrestrial travel by pushing the limits of what humans have thought possible. Their dedicated research has led to the development of products as small as the memory foam we sleep on all the way up to the space shuttles that send our astronauts into orbit.

When i grow older I want to be a Aerospace Engineer because I have a thing for anything that involves anything that flies. Aerospace engineers work in industries to design and build aircraft,spacecraft,etc. They are primarily involved in manufacturing,design, and development. In order to be an aerospace engineer you will require a bachelor’s degree or anything related to aerospace engineering. It is important to understand the education or training requirements,skills or talents needed, salary and benefits offered, and the duties for a particular career when making this decision. (u.s. Bureau of Labor statistics.)

Both of these jobs take hard work. In both sheepherding and space engineering, you make a lot of money. In each of these jobs, there is a lot of hands-on work. In sheepherding, you have to always help the sheep in space engineering you work with a lot of technology. Both of these wonderful jobs take patience. In sheepherding, you have to be watchful of the sheep 24/7, in space engineering, something might be wrong with the technology.

It hit me, from that point on I’ve wanted to accomplish something like that. Feelings of eagerness and excitement to become apart of something that’s bigger than myself, to contribute to humanity in a way that excites me.

What Can Drive You to Madness and Insanity Madness and Insanity are practically the same thing ,they both mean to be seriously mentally ill. Macbeth,by Shakespeare,is a story of which a man has an opportunity for power,and ends up having to kill and betray several people to be King. His wife was a an enormous part of this,she wasn't always the sweetest and most understanding person. Lots of people believed Macbeth was a good person and all trusted him, which he have remorse for his actions, but on the other hands things do take a few wrong turns. William Shakespeare, author of the play Macbeth, uses insanity to reveal maddening forces of power, a stressful wife, and constant guilt.

The biggest affect increased space exploration would have could be its change on the education landscape. In 1998, NASA scientists Adriana Ocampo, Louis Friedman, and John Logsdon explored NASA’s effect on education in their article, “Why Space Science and Exploration Benefit Everyone.” Though their writing is nearly 20 years old, Ocampo, Friedman, and Logsdon explain why handcuffing NASA creates a “brain drain” in America –

Today, ‘astronaut’ is a common career heard when children are asked what they want to be when they grow up. However, this was not the case in the early 20th century or even in the 1950s. The reason for this change was the space race, an extension of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States for superiority of space technology. It all started in October 1957 when Russia launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite, into orbit. The launch of Sputnik shocked the American public and brought about the beginnings of the space age, eventually leading to the founding of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the launch of Explorer I, and finally a man on the moon. Although the moon landing ended the space race,

Aerospace engineering and operation technician occupation’s have the same tasks. Aerospace engineers and operation technicians maintain equipment that is used in developing, testing and producing new air and space craft. Aerospace engineering and operations technicians work full-time in offices, laboratories, manufacturing or industrial plants. It is preferred that employers of aerospace engineering and operations technicians hold an associate’s degree. Vocational programs are also accepted because they offer good preparation upon granting certificates or diplomas to their students that qualifies them to work in the aerospace field. Some of the workers in both occupations may be exposed to hazards from equipment or from toxic materials. The

My position is Case Manager Nurse, organize long-term care for their patients. Their goal is to treat their patients at ideal times to keep them healthy and out of the hospital. This type of nurse would be working with a specific group of patients which can be from different age groups and different illnesses that required long term for example, Cancer or HIV. Anything that a patient needs when it comes to their health, medical insurance, or any resources that they may need like housing, support group, etc. I will develop a plan that will help improve or stabilized a patient’s health.

The military provides the experience and discipline astronaut

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.

In life, individuals are always faced with challenges and difficult situations, which is a normal thing to experience. Life is not easy, as people will have to overcome tasks, they may deem as “impossible”. Especially, when it is for one's survival. In Richard Connell’s story, The Most Dangerous Game, the main character Rainsford is struggling for his life, while trying to escape from the stories antagonist. Along, with the non-fictional story written by Farah Ahmedi, Escape from Afghanistan, Farah and her mother attempt to leave their war-torn country and escape to Pakistan, where they will search in hope for a better life. Both stories represent the ideology of overcoming the impossible in order to survive. Even though, Farah and her mother encountered a real life ordeal and the plot of the other story is fictional, both Farah and Rainsford are determined to survive because they have strong desire to live and fight for their lives.
