Pursuing A Career As An Aerospace Engineer

Introduction

I have always been fascinated by space, so limitless, so vast. As I got older I became more interested in our solar system and the thought of sending people to nearby planets, specifically Mars. I decided that not only can I increase my own knowledge about space, I can help other people along the way. This realization has lead me to decide that I want to become an aerospace engineer. I can make the world a better place through innovation and the discovery of new technologies, while at the same time exploring the possibilities of inter-planetary travel. In order to accomplish my goals I will need to learn more about aerospace and engineering.

What are your goals for the future?

My goals are to go to Raisbeck Aviation high school to learn about aerospace, then attend an aerospace enginnering college, and someday design spacecraft. My short-term goal is to attend RAHS where I will be challenged academically, prepared for college, and prepared for my future aerospace engineering career. After I graduate highschool I plan to attend an aerospace engineering

Achieving my goals would help my community and the world in multiple ways. Going to Aviation high school and an aerospace college will help by bringing me closer to achieving my long term goals. Also, if I choose to design spacecraft, and eventually send rockets to Mars, it will benefit the economy by supporting many jobs. Another gain for the world is that when going on missions to space, organizations like NASA make many practical discoveries and advancements that directly help people on Earth. For example, the algorithm created to see images from the Hubble Space Telescope also helped scientists see X-Rays more clearly. Finally, if I send spacecraft to Mars, it will be the next “Giant Leap” for mankind, which is super cool. In conclusion, if I achieve my goals I will help the world both practically and
