Learning the reality of my dream job was a blow. I suddenly had an overwhelming number of avenues to explore, which meant trying new things, getting creative, and putting in a lot of work — but I’ve always been up for a challenge.
I grew up in the Hamptons, where my family owned a scuba shop. My childhood was filled with beach adventures and summers that brought waves of new people to meet. Carefree and full of big dreams, I eventually chose to study aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. I daydreamed of space, nature, and working with the brightest minds in the field.
But reality set in. I realized much of the world wasn’t like the Hamptons. Instead of mom-and-pop shops, I saw sprawling superstores and endless skyscrapers. And when I visited Lockheed Martin Space Systems, expecting inspiration, I instead found rows of cubicles — not the limitless space I had imagined. Space exploration turned out to be numbers and equations in a box, not the adventure I’d envisioned.
That night, walking down a noisy street, I wrestled with disappointment and frustration. I had poured so much time, money, and effort into this one dream, only to realize it wasn’t my future. For the first time, I had lost my passion and had to ask myself — where do I go from here?
Learning the reality of my dream job was a blow for my future plans. I suddenly had an overwhelming number of avenues I had to start exploring. It meant trying new things, getting creative, and putting in a lot of work. Luckily, I’m always up for a challenge.
Everyone thinks their upbringing is normal. My younger years in the Hamptons were filled with adventures. My family owned a scuba shop, so I was at the beach all the time. Summers were especially exciting. The population would quadruple, and there were tons of new people to meet. I was carefree with big dreams. I just had to choose what direction to go in.
That direction turned out to be the University of Colorado Boulder to study aerospace engineering. You know how people are always saying things aren’t rocket science? This literally was. I had daydreams of going to space, meeting with the top minds in the field, being out in nature, studying the stars.

The first was that much of the world isn’t like the Hamptons. I was used to mom-and-pop shops; small, but full of character. Here were sprawling superstores and gleaming skyscrapers. And it was like the Hamptons in the summer all the time.
The second was more of a punch in the gut. Being in the aerospace engineering program meant the opportunity to go to Lockheed Martin Space Systems and see the men and women working on their craft. While I was there, I found myself wandering down aisle after aisle of workers in little cubicles. In my head, I’d seen myself exploring the magnitude of space, not confined to a box working out math equations.
That day I realized aerospace engineering was not where my future lay. That night I took myself on a long walk down a noisy street, tuning out everything other than my thoughts. I was feeling a lot of things. I was disappointed, realizing what this job really was, feeling I’d been lied to for years. “Space exploration” was little more than numbers and figures. I was frustrated by the amount of time, money, and energy I’d spent on this, having traveled so far from home, pouring so much effort into my classes. I was concerned about my future. I’d put everything into this one goal. Where did I go now? I was back where I started, but had lost my passion.
