Hey guys,
I just started my Fall internship at Glenn Research Center doing machine learning work for satellite communications and I can’t contain my excitement. I’m a junior undergrad who’s wanted to work in space for many years now and this is a dream come true. Every day I go to work for a a place that put the first people on the moon, snapped a selfie of Earth from millions of miles away, and taught us all our true place in the universe. Safe to say, my life is amazing.
For anyone out there dreaming of working at NASA or in the space industry in general, you can do it. The road isn’t easy and you’ll have to wake up every day passionate and motivated but in the end it will pay off. At times the past year I started to feel like all my hard work was in vain as rejection after rejection came in. I wanted to throw in the towel and go work at McDonalds for the rest of my life because, we’ll “at least they’ll hire me.”
Yet, here I am having the time of my life not 6 months later.
Don’t ever give in to the voice telling you to quit.
P.S: feel free to PM me if you have any questions about my journey so far or how I got where I am! I’m happy to provide any advice I can.
