When I was younger, an older friend gave me this advice, "prepare now for opportunities that will come to you later." This has been good advice. Even when I do not know what my future will hold, by studying hard and continually learning I have prepared for opportunities like being able to work at NASA. We need to have goals in mind in order to achieve them. A quote I like from the Koran is "...If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Deborah Amato, NASA Aerospace Engineer
