This week I met Richard Searfoss, a commander of one of the
NASA shuttle missions. It was so cool to meet him! He gave a fireside for my
ward and he talked all about space, his family, what it was like to pilot a
space mission, and so forth. Astronomy has always been a huge passion of mine
and it was amazing to get to meet the commander of a NASA mission. He talked also about how to juggle a career
and a family. This was super beneficial to me because I’m a girl going through
the Marriott School and sometimes it’s really hard to think about the future
and how my degree can still be used while raising a family. I don’t want to be
a super career woman that never settles down, but I also want to use my degree.
Obviously Astronaut Searfoss’ situation was a little bit different, but he
talked about he juggled being in space while raising a family and it really
helped me to realize that you can do both, no matter if you’re in space or
working for a corporation!
Sarah, I feel the same. I want to have a career and I want to have a family. I love hearing from people who do both and how they balance it. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThats so cool! I would love to meet an astronaut. I'm glad you got some insight into balancing a career and future family life. It's something that I'm always a little worries about, but it's nice to get tips from people who do it successfully.
