My Dream

　On July 26, 2005,/the moment space shuttle Discovery was launched,/I thought/that I had finally become an astronaut.// During the nearly ten years of training,/I used to think,/“I’m not an astronaut until I go into space.”// Because of the very sad Columbia accident/during my training in 2003,/my launch was repeatedly postponed.// Yet,/more and more,/I felt/that I could leave the earth’s gravity,/and go into space.//
