They said that it couldn't be done.... they said that I was too weak to reach for the moon, and still here I am, stepping out of my space shuttle... sitting a foot on the moon. I didn't know that I was destined to be the first woman on the moon, from this second on I will be written down in history as the first female to set a foot on the moon.

It wasn't always easy for me, I had problems too, just like everyone else does. But here is my story:

When I was a kid, my dad had given me a telescope, as my birthday present... It was the last thing he gave me before he divorced my mom. I still loved them both, they tried to be together for me... but failed terribly. I can still remember every night of my childhood, which was filled with screams. One day when I was ten, I told my mother that I wanted to be an Astronaut, I wanted to fly, reach for the moon.

As I reached my teens, I started to understand that nothing comes without sacrifice and hard work. I wanted to reach for the stars the moon... all of it. The universe and the mysteries it holds are amazing. Those were my dreams, touching the stars, but people kept telling me, that I was not meant to fly, not touch the moon, and that I was too weak for the world outside earth. But I was determined, I answered them with my hard work... My motto in life was:

Work silently, be dedicated, work hard and then the whole world will try to make your dream come true.

And then when I turned 13, the biggest and saddest part of my life came, my parents were divorced, and I was broken. I loved them both, and I can't choose one, so I decided, to alternate the months of stay with both of my parents.

I started getting distracted from my studies and I  started to get low marks. I had barely passed 8th. At the end of the year, my dad married another woman, and she already had a son, meaning I had a stepbrother. For some reason this woman hated me, she always compared me to her son, and I hated it. And one day when she asked me what I was studying for, I said, "I won't be an astronaut, and be the first girl to set a foot on the moon.", she laughed at me, saying that I was a girl, and girls rarely go to space, and they will never reach the moon! So what if I was a girl?! I was allowed to chase after my dreams. Her constant mocking, lead me to push myself harder. And I graduated High School with flying colours, and I was glad that I was back on track.

I started college, and I chose Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Since childhood, I loved Science, it was my first love, and it would stay with me all my life. After I finished my 12th, I moved away to get my PhD in astronomy. This was a dream come true, for me, seeing the stars in real life was amazing! Their beauty couldn't compare to anything else in this world. But the coin has two sides, likewise, this universe does as well, as much as it is beautiful, it is that much dangerous. This made me scared, sacred for the life in this universe, the universe is too amazing to not be experienced by anyone. I became sacred of armageddon, but no matter what we do, it will come to pass, all that we can do now is delay it. So, I, some of my classmates, and some aeronautical engineer students decided to create a design of a rocket to clean space junk. We submitted it to our college and from there it went to NASA, SpaceX, and other space organisations. And some of them even approved of it and came to our college to recruit some of us. I instantly got a place in NASA, and after graduating we are supposed to join. 

After I finished my degree, I joined NASA as a junior astronomer. After a year or so, the Artemis announced that it requires female astronauts, and the employees were allowed to take the test. I decided to give it a try, and surprisingly I passed. And then it was a breeze to go on the moon, sure the space training was a little tough but I didn't mind it, my dream was finally coming true!

Being the first girl on the moon not only did it made my family proud but also gave me the satisfaction of having lived a good life. No matter how much people make you feel low, you should never give up on your dreams.
