Janelle Wilson, an eighth-grader from Ulysses S. Grant Middle School in Marion, Ohio dreams of becoming an astronaut. She has visited the Kennedy Space Center where she had the opportunity to go into the Discovery space shuttle and view all the controls. She is looking forward to working with real scientists during the expedition.

 

Janelle stays active in her community by tutoring children at a local elementary school and volunteering at a nursing home. Janelle enhances her scientific knowledge by participating in extra-curricular activities, using her free time last year to contribute to her school's science fair.
