I became interested in astronomy after taking a trip to the New York Botanical Gardens. I saw a flower that looked just like a star! From then on I knew that I wanted to learn more about astronomy.
	Before I go to sleep, I look at the sky and crawl into bed and dream about what it would be like to become an astronaut.
	For my tenth birthday party, my friends and I went up to the roof of my house and used a telescope to look at the sky. We saw moon craters, and even a shooting star! Many kids don't realize that you can look up at the sky with a telescope and see things that other people can't.
	I am most curious about whether Pluto is a planet or not. I hope that Pluto is a planet because everyone has done so much hard work about the planet. Everyone would have to redo all of their research and start all over again. I am also very curious about black holes and nebulas.
