                                  STORY OF MARK AND HIS ACHIEVEMENT'S

Hey guys, my name is Mark Herbst. I was born in small beach named Catalina beach which is near to Fullerton in U.S.A. This beach is very small, but according to me this is the peaceful place on earth. Here people are very friendly and help each other in many and any problems. I studied here, but for my further education I need to go out. Therefore I decided to go to C.S.U.F campus in Fullerton, where I achieved my degree and got an opportunity to work at the place where I studied. I was appointed as an instructor for an ALP course in which I was teaching in advance level, I loved my job and my life was going very smoothly.

The place I was working was very energetic because our staff was kind of family for everyone. We used to go out for dinner, go for a movie, go for a picnic and many stuff together. Meanwhile once I went to church and also found my soul mate. I was very happy with my new happy life, but I also missed my parents who were at Catalina beach, so in weekends and on long weekends I used to go to my parents place with my wife and sometimes also with my office mates. At my office we were all from different countries, but still we were all same for everyone.

Once I went to the space station with my office mates and saw all the activities which happens in space on a video. That was my life changing event, as from that day I was interested in space and started to watch many space movies as well as videos related to it. Now I was tempted towards space and I not only wanted to watch this, but now I wanted to feel that excitement which I wanted to have. I studied hard for learning all the things I need to study for going in the space with the institution which was connected to N.A.S.A. Everyone were amazed as, I was not only good in theoretical part, but I was mind-blowing in practical part. My dream came true when I got a letter from N.A.S.A saying that they had selected me for the test before going to space. I was called there for the tests in I passed. Finally I was going to space and I was very happy because of my achievement. Space experience was really very amazing and I was now OUT OF WORLD. Now I reached my goal and I am very happy for that, but it’s now 324 days and I miss my birthplace. I love my parents, my wife and I also miss my office mates who encouraged me at every movement. Now it’s my last day in space and i will again get a chance to meet my beloved once.
