Reflection:
i have always been into space and when i was younger i wanted to be an astronaut. Then one day in middle school i was invited to northrop grumman and i got to see how the space telescope was made how it looked and folded before anyone else can. This career has got my attention ever since. After reading a bit more about this career i know that i would love to be an aerospace engineer when i get older.but i still want to look more into it and search for schools that i can enroll into to get my bachelors degree .
