Beth Ewing's
Shuttle Page
Hi! I would like to welcome you to my very own web page! My
name is Beth Ewing and I am a seventh grader at Edison Jr. High School
in Pekin, Illinois. As a seventh grader at Edison, I am on the basketball
team, volleyball team, student council, and recieve high honors.
For two years I have gone to the Summer of Wonder Gifted Program at Bradley
University. I took the class "Rocketry and Flight" and "Advanced
Rocketry and Flight." I hope to take the class next year. Lately,
I have been learning a lot about Scott Altman and the space program.
There were 65 students that applied for the trip. To apply, we had
to write an essay. On the essays the teachers were looking for good
citizenship, good attendance in school, a C or higher in all subjects,
to be able to make a year long commitment, and to be willing to learn more
about technology. Edison Jr. High School could only take eight students
on the Florida space journey. The four eighth graders going are:
Lyn Apa, Michelle
Oltman, Jacob
Bland, and Aaron
Hoffman.
The four seventh graders going are: Lesley
Long, Kevin
Jones, Matt
Rineberg, and myself, Beth
Ewing. We will be going down to Florida
on April 14, 1998 to witness the launch. We will be so close
we will feel the heat. A few weeks later there was a
contest to make a patch that would go up into space. There were 60
students that applied for this contest. Jacob Bland was the winner
of the patch contest. His patch was computer designed and very artistic.
We were each assigned a project to do with Scott Altman or space.
My project was do an interview of Scott's family and close friends.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my webpage!
