1. During my summers working as a camp counselor in 2006-2009, many events took place during these years. However, just within the USA and just within these summers I was able to narrow down the events that took place In the summer of 2006, the Louisiana Superdome reopened. This was a big deal since so many repairs had to be mad after the damages made by hurricane Katrina. In my research I learned that re-roofing this building was the largest roofing project in US history. It took thirteen months. In the summer of 2007, a terrorist plot was uncovered at JFK International airport. It was plan was foiled after four terrorists were arrested.

I tried very hard to think about ways in which the history can relate to my jobs at the time, but I found it very hard to find the relationships between them. At the end of my research, I ended it on learning that NASA’s mission (New Horizons) finally reached Pluto, which is what it was set out to do . This was interesting to me and I actually did some more in depth research on this.

This made me chuckle because in 2006 is when I first entered the working world. I feel this this event symbolizes my growth in my career.

At this time I was not quite sure what I wanted to be, just like NASA was not sure what it was going to find. However, as time went I I discovered what my passion was and in 2015, decided to really pursue it. I have finally reached the end in deciding what I want to be at the same time that the New Horizons device reached its final
