We would all like to achieve, even once in our lives, one of our greatest dreams, which may require a great effort and even help from others to make it come true.
A young man of Mexican origin has become news by showing that for him there are no impossible, since he has resorted to the internet and social networks to ask for support from others in order to fulfill one of his greatest goals.
Misael Jiménez Hernández is originally from the city of Querétaro and a couple of days ago he received great news: he has been selected by NASA to be part of a program carried out by the Space Agency.
According to information from the Milenio newspaper, Misael sent his application several weeks ago to be part of this course taught by NASA, which aims to select young talents, who must make a trip to the United States to meet cer the Space Agency, as well as the work they carry out on a daily basis.
Those selected in this program not only know the NASA facilities but also have access to the laboratories where the astronauts carry out their training.
Despite being great news for this Mexican student, the truth is that there is a small obstacle to attend the course: you need to raise $3,500 dollars to be able to pay for his trip and stay in Alabama.
This has led him to start a small online business that consists of selling caps with the NASA logo, each one for a cost of $10 dollars; so he hopes to sell some 350 pieces so he can travel to the US and fulfill his dream.
As the young man explained on social networks, he was selected among 60 students from all over the world and will represent Mexico in the space program. In addition, this will allow you to enrich his resume once he graduates from the Robotics and Digital Systems Engineering degree at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITSEM).
Quickly, Misael’s story went viral and dozens of people have been interested in helping him, hoping to raise the money he needs as soon as possible.
