1
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:02,790
it's that time of year again when

2
00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:04,400
students and teachers are heading back

3
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:06,560
to school for another exciting year of

4
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:08,240
learning and discovery

5
00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:09,840
while going back to school can be very

6
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,679
exciting it can also be a little

7
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:13,440
intimidating to start out on a new

8
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,440
adventure i definitely felt that way

9
00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,279
when i started astronaut training i

10
00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:19,199
remember the first time i saw the space

11
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:21,199
shuttle cockpit simulator i thought

12
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:23,439
there is no way i'm ever going to learn

13
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:25,119
what all these switches do

14
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:26,880
but then i remembered i didn't have to

15
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:29,199
do it alone i had excellent teachers to

16
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:31,119
help me and classmates to study with and

17
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:33,600
share tips and sure enough when it came

18
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:35,680
time for my first space flight all that

19
00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:37,600
preparation made me confident i would

20
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,879
succeed

21
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:40,160
just like we have to do a lot of

22
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:41,680
preparation to get ready for a mission

23
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,760
to space students need to prepare for

24
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:45,200
the school year ahead

25
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,640
while you don't know what you'll be

26
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:48,719
learning yet what you can bring with you

27
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:51,920
is a mindset for success be curious have

28
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:54,480
an open mind and don't be afraid to ask

29
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,399
questions and ask for help when you need

30
00:01:02,069 --> 00:00:59,280
