When we say 'the world', we are always referring to the planet Earth. It is the only planet we as humans live on and it is the only world we have ever known. Many people go through life not even asking themselves if we could make another world. Recently, I have been asking myself that question. I believe the human soul yearns for adventure and exploration. I certainly do.
I come from a family who consistently supports my interests and helps me discover more. Having an older brother gives me a competitive edge because I have an example to which I constantly compare myself. I have been at Laguna Blanca since Kindergarten, which has helped me become an intelligent and well-rounded person. The small community and class size make it possible to work with the teacher individually and always feel like you have someone in your corner. I have played sports since the age of 4, and it has very much improved my teamwork skills, which will be crucial during a mission to Mars. I show an aptitude for this adventure because I have a sense of how to keep a group together and I can problem solve while staying calm and collected. I have always wanted to travel, and I have realized that I excel when put in unfamiliar situations and I find it exciting. I would very much appreciate being considered for this mission.
