When I grow up I think I want to be a astronaut. A few years ago I
thought about becoming an famous basketball player. A long time ago, my
grandmother played on a all-girls’ team. She was born on May 3 1959. One
time she told me, “This days were so much fun.” But I think it would be fun
to go on space missions, too. To become an astronaut means that I have to
be a excellent student. I got the “A” on my last math test. Next week I need
to study for spelling science and reading.
