I am an upcoming freshman from Science Leadership Academy. As I have been growing up the one dream that has refused to vanish from my mind is the dream of going into space. Metro Magazine and their contest is the perfect opportunity to achieve my vision. I have constantly wanted to be a part of the space industry. If I did happen to win the contest and go into space, not only would it be a great achievement for myself, but it would also be a great benefit for Science Leadership Academy. This journey is not just about one person and winning a single contest, this contest is the first of its kind and this will affect the course of the history of humankinds journey into space. It will also benefit all the kids in my school who will be able to have a vicarious experience right along with me. NASA has not sent many people into space lately and the torch has been passed down to organizations such as Metro Magazine to keep the dream of space exploration alive; I want to be a part of that
