About Me:
I am
17-years-old. I was born in 1993. From 1993 to 2001 I lived in Greenwood. I
used to go to public school for preschool, Kindergarten and 1st
grade. After 1st grade was over, I did home school for 2nd
grade onwards. In 2001, my younger sister, Annie was born. It was also the
year we moved to Mansfield. We lived in Mansfield from 2001 to 2008. During
the 8 years in Mansfield, I was in Scout Pack 271 and later troop 271. After
about 6 or 7 years with 271, my dad and I transferred to troop 50, We also
went to LAH (Short for Lebanon Area Home school) that usually happens on a
Thursday. In 2008 we moved to Saint Joseph and bought a small house to live
in until we could afford a bigger house. We also became a member of Scout
Troop 216. Living in Mansfield, we had two separate churches, one for going
to church and another for scout meetings. But now that I live in Saint
Joseph I go to church at the same church building as the one I have scout
meetings. We lived in the small house for 2 years. In 2010 we bought a
bigger house (which we live in now) but we still live on the same out Saint
Joseph town. We still have our scout meetings and church at the same old
church. Moving into this bigger house is the only change in this move. Any
friends I made while I lived in the small house I still see a lot living in
this new house. I have 2 sisters, one older and one younger. My older sister
is about 22 years old now. She lives in Saint Charles with her husband, Adam
Linninger. We knew Adam’s family for a long time. As if they were family.
Now they are family. My older sister’s name is Victoria. She went to this
very collage for 4 years. She graduated last May I think. She has been
married to Adam since December. We were living in Mansfield when she went to
college. My younger sister’s name is Annie. She is 10-years-old. She did not
spend much of her life at our house in Greenwood. However, she did have a
good time growing up in Mansfield. From 2001 to 2010, I also liked to
collect Bionicle figures. This started when they were at McDonalds and I had
collected them for as long as they lasted. It is too bad they decided to
stop but my collecting days are not over. I also like getting plush toys of
my favorite TV and video game characters. I
make plush movies and upload them on YouTube. My sister, Annie collects
things too. She likes Littlest Pet Shop toys and Webkinz.
My KCSTI Experience
Well. I do not know really, what I am getting from this. However, I am
learning about famous airplane pilots and how cars are made. I enjoy the bus
rides too and many other things.
Career
Choice
Well, I suppose I could try to make my Sonic DA Fanfics into an actual TV show.

play sports, and my favorite word is OOh BABY!!
My KCSTI Experience
My
experience at KCSTI was superb. The most things I liked about this program
were visiting the KCI Downtown Airport. What amazed me about the airport is
the air traffic control tower and how they monitored the airplanes landing
and taking off while they were in flight. One of the least things I liked
was the ironwoods challenge course field trip. I say this because I am not
too interested in climbing very tall structures. Overall, this program has
taught me more about fields I never knew about.

So
far, my experience with KCSTI is going very well. My favorite thing about
KCSTI is it is always fun and is always entertaining. My favorite activities
were visiting General Motors, the Downtown Airport to meet Jamail Larkins
and the museum, Ironwoods Challenge Course. GM and the airport opened my
mind to many different types of occupations besides being a pastor.
Ironwoods helped my gain trust for many people in my class.
Career
Choice
In
the future, I plan to become a pastor at a local church. I have always had a

the lord with others.
Contribution to the World:
My
contribution to the world is to spread the word of the lord.

do not believe that I will have a future in transportation because I have my
mind totally set on being a pastor, but my mind is always going to be open
to different types of careers.
About Me:
Hello, everyone my name is Kindred Williams and today I am going to be
telling you a little more about me. I am 15 years old and going to the 10th
grade and I currently attend Washington High School. I have a couple of
hobbies, which are playing board games, hanging out with my friends and
family, writing, sports and photography.
My KCSTI Experience
My experience at the KCSTI program has been great so far. One of the main
things I like about this program is that we take numerous field trips each
week to various places like colleges, airports, speakers and many other
things to come. I have learned about
new fields of Engineering like Technical, Civil, Software, Mechanical and
many others. One of the speakers I liked that caught my attention was the
man from Garmin. I think he had a cool job designing, creating, and
constructing GPS devices.
One of the most interesting things I have done so far is the trip to the Air
Traffic Control Center at the Olathe Executive Airport. What I liked about
it was how the people were able to manage and monitor all of the Commercial
Flights in our region and forecast national weather that happens around the
country.
Career
Choice
The field I want to take on later in life is Journalism or Commentary. The
reason why I chose these fields is because I like to write and tell people
things that may happen in sports, or everyday life. One of my goals I want
to achieve for this field is to Work for a major T.V. Station, Magazine or
Newspaper Company like ESPN and or Sport Illustrated. Whichever one opens up
to me first and captures my interests I will try my hardest and put
everything I have into it so I can achieve it.
Contribution to the World:
My Contribution to the world is to help and promote healthy living and
lifestyles. Some things I think I could contribute are to come up with ideas
and alternatives to change the way we live every day. One of the things I
would do is promote healthy living like exercise, eating a healthy diet, and
staying away from any forms of tobacco or drugs. Even though I came up with
only a few ideas hopefully in the future, I can take on more and expand
these ideas.
Contribution to Transportation:
What I would do to contribute to transportation is help under privileged
kids get to travel and see the world besides their own neighborhoods.
About Me:
Hello, my name is Marley Stephenson. I attend Center High School and I am a
rising junior. My hobbies consist of basketball, drawing, rapping, anime,
sleeping, and just having me time.
My KCSTI Experience
My
KCSTI experience began being very boring but soon turned out to be somewhat
fun. So far, my favorite thing about KCSTI has been the Ironwoods challenge,
visiting GM, and meeting Jamil Larkins. Meeting Jamil Larkins opened my eyes
to my future and helped me more stay focused on what I’m going to do with my
life, and also that the sky is the limit.
Career
Choice
I
have two career choices and my options are still open for more but for now,
I plan on being a Nuclear Engineer, or becoming a NBA basketball player.
Contribution to the World:
My contribution to the world will be to find alternative energy to replace
gas in cars.
Contribution to Transportation:
About Me:
Hi, my name is Marshonna Clark. I will be a sophomore next year.
My favorite hobbies are to have fun with my friends, dancing, and
just chilling. I have five sisters and one brother.
My KCSTI Experience
My KCSTI experience has been fun. I learned new things and saw new things. I
went on many different trips. My favorite trip was General Motors. I really
like this trip because I got to see how they make cars from scratch until
they were done with the car. They make more than 50 cars a day we took a
tour there I had fun. I also like
Jamail
Larkins. He was 12 when he flew
his first plane. He was interesting to me.
Career
Choice
When I get older, I will like to be a pediatrician. Because I like babies
and I like dealing with them and they health. Healthy babies will make a
better future when they grow up.
Contribution to the World:
To care for babies and help them with their health.
Contribution to Transportation:
About Me:
Hi,
my name is Nihal Osman and I am 16 years old. I will be a junior next year.
I have hobbies that follow along the lines of games of all sorts. I also
like watching soccer, and I have been currently supporting the U.S.A. My
favorite hobby in school is math. Math is a good subject, and I think it is
very important to our lives. I am proud in my love for math.
My KCSTI Experience
It
was great meeting new people at KCSTI.
Career
Choice
My
career choice follows along the lines of working in perhaps a medical field.
I am not sure, but something like that would be just fine.
I like the things they do in that department and it would be a very
nice opportunity to work there someday. Those kinds of things are the kind
that will one day aid our country. It is a necessary part of society that
should always be considered. Really, it is a general sort of answer to
consider but I think it would be a better idea to wait, see which of the
kinds of things I really like, and go into doing that.
Contribution to the World:
I
think it would be a good idea for the contribution to aid the people who
really need it such as the poor and, more importantly, those who need health
care. Health Care in the U.S.A.
needs more of an improvement and I think that by learning more about the
workings of the medical field will aid us in bringing the financial problem
overall to an end. This is what think of when it comes to the contributions
our world needs.
Contribution to Transportation:
I think that by trying to improve our knowledge on transportation, we can simultaneously begin understanding why it is necessary and important. With this understanding, we can start aiding to the cause of our society’s transformational needs.
About Me:
My name is Robert Parker. I’m cool person to hang out with, try not to talk

yet insightful people. I most enjoyed going to the air traffic control
center, Ironwoods, the police officers, and the airline museum. The concrete

I saw stuff, learned stuff and that
is all.
