But how many of us have actually become one, or are at least working toward it? Its true that the advice “Always follow your dreams” is something that is typically easier said than done.But still, this is the one piece of advice that Alyssa Carson wants to share with her peers. This 17-year-old girl from the US has become one of the candidates (候选人) for NASAs 2033 project to go to Mars. If everything goes well, Carson will be one of the first human beings to ever set foot on the red planet.Carson began to dream of going to mars when she was only three years old. After watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and hearing from her father that humans had only been to the moon but not Mars. Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so.To realize her dream, she has worked hard toward it. At the age of 12, Carson became the first person to attend all three NASA space camps, and she sat with real astronauts to discuss the future of Mars missions. Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a “normal” teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages-English, French, Spanish and Chinese.“I dont think theres anything specific that makes it easier for me or makes it something that others cant do,” Carson said in an interview. “Ive just really focused myself on what I want to accomplish.”Besides, Carson is willing to make sacrifices (牺牲) for her dream.
