I had mobility issues as a a child after being born very early. I was told by teachers, other children, doctors and sometimes ever people I didn’t know I ‘couldn’t do’ lots of things. This really annoyed me because I knew I could, so I set out to prove them wrong.

Why space- I don’t know, I’m was to little at the time to really know why, but it is something that has inspired me for as long as I can remember- watching a Space Shuttle launch on the news is almost my earliest memory.
