The entire crowd was absolutely silent. The eyes of every spectator were fastened on me as I looked towards the ground in shame. Why did I take the shot? Why didn’t I just pass the ball and let someone else feel this regret? Why‚ was the only question I kept wanting myself to answer‚ but was also the question I kept trying to forget. I could hear my fellow teammates talking like I were a hologram not good enough to even exist in their presence. I awaited my coach to release all the anger he had felt

As a child‚ I constantly had my nose in a book. Reading came quite naturally to me‚ Jane Robinson‚ and I still carry that passion today. As I grew‚ I gained another passion; writing. Elementary started my passion through the teachers making the class journal about their lives.

Astronomy was the first science that interested me. As a child I subscribed to Young People’s Records. Every month I received in the mail a 10-inch 78 RPM record‚ or sometimes a package of two records. One day I received a record called "By rocket to the moon". It contained a fictional story about a trip by space ship around the moon and back to Earth‚ some 19 years before that actually happened‚ as well as some facts about the planets‚ which in those days included Pluto. That sparked my interest

They All Look the Same When I was younger‚ I didn’t necessarily have the highest grades and I wasn’t the most talented student‚ but what set me aside from others was my desire to succeed. That desire only transpired when I entered high school. Many people would not assume that I once struggled with reading numbers and words because they all looked the same. When I was five‚ my teacher made my class count to one hundred every day. I was good at math‚ but I struggled to identify the numbers two and
