Meeting NASA Astronaut Don Thomas from the United States at the age of 10 was a life-changing moment that became the first spark of inspiration in my life. During this special event, I had the opportunity to listen to his real-life experiences from space missions, space research, and rocket journeys. He shared how astronauts train, how they work in space, and what daily life looks like beyond Earth.

From his stories and experiences, I learned how astronauts live in space, how they work in zero gravity, how space missions are planned, and how rockets are used to travel beyond Earth. His journey showed me the importance of discipline, hard work, curiosity, and never giving up on big dreams.

This event opened my mind to the world of space science, exploration, and advanced technology. It made me curious about how astronauts train, how space stations work, and how life in space is completely different from life on Earth. Learning directly from someone who has been to space gave me a deep sense of motivation and belief that dreams are possible when supported by dedication and learning.

This meeting became the starting point of my personal journey toward learning, exploring new skills, and working on meaningful ideas. From that first spark of inspiration, I started pushing myself to learn more, participate in events, develop new skills, and work toward making a positive impact on the world. Even today, I continue to move forward with the same motivation that began from this unforgettable moment.
