1
00:00:05,329 --> 00:00:03,230
what stories have inspired you to want

2
00:00:07,369 --> 00:00:05,339
to pursue your career and learn more

3
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:07,379
about life in the universe fundamentally

4
00:00:11,870 --> 00:00:09,120
I was struggling in fourth grade I

5
00:00:14,089 --> 00:00:11,880
didn't like to read I was bored I was a

6
00:00:16,490 --> 00:00:14,099
class clown in the back you know causing

7
00:00:18,830 --> 00:00:16,500
trouble and we had to buy a book from a

8
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,840
book club so I brought in my 50 cents

9
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:21,119
plopped it down and I was looking around

10
00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:23,760
you know you can imagine a little kid oh

11
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:26,340
this is so boring and then I came across

12
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:30,060
a title that said Mission to Mars that

13
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:32,160
sounded like fun so I bought this book

14
00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:34,680
it was about a family going to Mars and

15
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:36,840
they meet martians the Martians helped

16
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:38,760
them to survive because their life

17
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:41,040
support system wasn't working right it's

18
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:43,140
really been fun now to work and it

19
00:00:49,970 --> 00:00:47,040
closes the circle I had a new spark in

20
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:49,980
fourth grade to think about outer space

21
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:52,440
and flying to other planets

22
00:00:57,170 --> 00:00:54,920
and that came from that one single book

23
00:00:58,729 --> 00:00:57,180
uh and now I'm working on Mars
