  • On a personal note, I am grateful to have had opportunities to journey into space. It took nearly ten years to see my dreams come true. It was indeed worth the effort and the wait. During these years, I met so many wonderful people who inspired me. This experience will forever remain my lifetime treasure. No longer in space and now an "earthling" once again, I feel that my good fortune yet continues. I welcome the opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to many people who have encouraged me to believe that "If you can dream it, you can do it." And I strongly believe that "Education enables us to envision and to pursue our dreams."
