100 words | unqualified

After Wednesday’s small group, I went home and looked up the astronaut candidate posting. I am totally unqualified to travel in space. Apparently you need to be American, have studied engineering, science, or mathematics. (I guess economic research in space isn’t a priority to NASA), and pass a thorough drug test (had a poppyseed muffin today). Plus you need to either know or are willing to study Russian. BTW, educators with K-12 experience are encouraged to apply?! Are they gonna teach kids Russian in space?! Man… I think the only qualification I pass is that I’m the perfect height. Darn.
