Paul is 14 years old and since the age of 3 he has been fascinated with space science and exploration, through reading, watching documentaries, and visiting numerous museums. Needless to say, trips to the National Air & Space Museum have been frequent and inspirational to him. At age 6, when the ophthalmologist prescribed his first glasses his first response was a very disappointed: does this means I can't become an astronaut? However, he never gave up on learning all he could about the NASA space programs and hopes to make a contribution one day in some capacity, be it as a scientist, an engineer, or a doctor.
