Student Profile
Emily Cleary, up up and away
A debate with her fianc茅 over what would happen if gravity disappeared reignited Emily Cleary鈥檚 interest in learning and her decision to return to college.
That decision brought her to 91制片厂, and she鈥檚 now a pre-engineering student with a near-perfect grade point average. After 91制片厂, she plans to earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree in astronautical engineering. She has her sights set on the University of Southern California, the University of Michigan, the University of Colorado or Emerson-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Emily went to a four-year university for about half a semester after graduating high school in 2008. She then worked in retail before getting into an argument over what would happen if gravity simply vanished. She researched the answer for months on her own, sparking her love of learning.
Now her interest lies in space travel, satellites, GPS in space or anything else to do with space.
鈥淪ome people have this ingrained idea that you鈥檙e either smart or you aren鈥檛. But that鈥檚 not right. You have to work hard at it.鈥�
