The Scottish Space School 2011 was a fantastic experience which matured me as a person as I learned to live with new people and work effectively in teams- it is something which I will remember for the rest of my life. I like to think of myself as an active individual who likes to keep fit and play football. I was in the gym at the time I received an e-mail telling me I had been selected for the Learning Journey to Houston I ran about shouting and hugging my friend that was with me at the time – that moment made my day. What I am most looking forward to in Houston is arriving so I know it is for real as it has not sunk in yet that I have been chosen! In the future I would like to work in the space industry and hopefully help to create something revolutionary.
