Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was born into a family of pilots. I grew up listening to the sounds of planes taking off and landing, which always filled me with excitement. I loved the vastness of the sky, and I was a part of those who loved the vastness of the sky.#2 I idolized my older brother, who was the eldest of the three of us children, and was always willing to help me out. I felt protected by his presence.#3 My sister and I had very happy childhoods, and we were always surrounded by love and support. She had a very active imagination and was a talented artist, while I was the quiet one who loved to listen to music.#4 My father, who was a professor of physics at UCLA, was extremely generous and charismatic. He gave me a bracelet inscribed with words from Michael Faraday, which were inscribed over the physics building at UCLA.
