The Award had a great impact on my life. Not only did I discover how rewarding doing volunteering and helping different communities of people is, but I also learnt to push myself out of my comfort zone and grow as a person. I acquired a number of very useful skills through the Award, such as teamwork and leadership skills that I use daily as the Director of the HI-SEAS analog space research facility and the Commander of almost 30 simulated missions to the Moon and Mars.
