Ever since I saw the space shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral at 6 years old, I knew that my profession when I got older was to be an aerospace and aeronautical engineer. I have studied hard in school by taking the hardest classes that I could for my grade, passing all of them with the highest letter grade possible (all A’s). After 9 years and 1 month of dedication and hard work, my schooling finally paid off and I was sent the dream of an e-mail to attend the Embry Riddle summer institution. But with this once in a lifetime opportunity comes a once in a lifetime price, and that’s where I need help. So please help me afford the next step in living my dream. Thank you, Nikolas De Plas (10th grade)
