I watched my dad as he took off to space. I sat and wondered if I could go to the moon.My name is Scott. This is a story of a kid wanting to go to the moon.
I’ve tried to make my own spaceship. I used card board, tape, chewing gum and firecrackers, but nothing worked out.
Once I tried you make a sling shot with a lot of rubber bands between the two tall trees in my yard.It broke and I got a boo boo. OUCH!
Well although plans fail, I'm going to keep trying.One day I'm going to be on the moon.
I’ve counted the days until my dad comes back. I miss him sometimes. I look up at the stars wondering if he looks back down at me.
It’s been two years since I have seen my dad. In five days, he comes back from space. I can’t wait to hear about his trip!
So today is finally the day my dad comes back from the moon! I'm so excited to see him.My dad is my hero and I want to be like him someday.
My dad landed back on earth. As he stepped out of the spaceship I gave him a big hug.
Later that day we had a big dinner for everyone and their families who went to space. That night, my dad told me stories of his time in space, and he gave me a moon rock.
One day I hope to be just like him. Years later, I did I grow up and became an astronaut and finally went to space.
