As the day came to an end, Sarah's head was buzzing with all she had learned. They had seen models of rockets, learned about life on the International Space Station, Mission Control room and even saw special greenhouse!
On the bus ride home, Ms. Johnson asked the class to share their favorite parts of the trip.
"I loved learning about the planets!" said one student.
"The astronaut suit was so cool!" said another.
Sarah thought for a moment before speaking up. "I liked everything," she said. "But what I really want to know is: how can I become an astronaut when I grow up?"
Ms. Johnson smiled. "Well, Sarah, that starts with studying hard and never stopping learning. Who knows? Maybe one day, we'll be watching you blast off into space!"
