My Nonprofit Reviews

There aren't enough words to explain why SSP was such a great experience for me. Probably because it weren't only six weeks of hard working, but also a great ( maybe most enjoyable) socially experience. We all connected very well and I feel like I found my second family in there. I will never forget our late night observations, or the time spent in Weir computer labs working for the OD. I will always remember our Saturday movie night and our "Futurama" episodes, I will always remember the way we fed the ducks in the last night at 6 a.m. in the morning, or the "Physics dance" that we had to do when we were late for class. It wasn't only Math. It wasn't only Astronomy. It wasn't only Programming. It wasn't even only Physics. It was the most interesting mixture of all this, multiplied at infinity by our happiness in acting for the first time in our lives as a research team. It was our excitement in finding the orbital elements of that asteroid. It was the pleasure of working in the same team with probably your best friends in the world. Staying now in my room at home, 7,000 miles away from New Mexico, but still keeping in touch with my friends, I feel like I have finally discovered people that make me happy. And I will always appreciate it. As soon as SSP finished, I came back in Romania and qualified for the International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics. I am more than sure that I couldn't do that without SSP. It helped me more than anything on both professional and personal plans. Thank you SSP! Thank you for having a wonderful time, an amazing summer, an unforgettable experience. Thank you!
