Luckily, I've been doing it all summer as an Education and Public Outreach Intern at NASA Ames in Palo Alto. During my time here at Ames, I worked with a high school summer camp, met with numerous scientists, and have begun the work on the Lassen Astrobiology Internship. My main goal in this internship is to create a database of articles that can allow the students a stronger base in each of the things they will be learn- ing about: water chemistry, geology, and microbiology. Hopefully, some small assignments will come out of this to assure that the interns can get as much out of the lectures and labs as possible. In case you don't know about this program, here's a bit of an overview: Ten high school juniors and seniors are split into three groups. They then have monthly lectures and labs per- taining to astrobiology and how Lassen Volcanic National Park relates to Mars. They take field trips (weather permitting) to Mt. Lassen and collect sam- ples of water and rocks to test for dif- ferent cations and anions. To be a little clearer, there are students at Red Bluff High School helping NASA scientists learn about Mars. If you want to learn more about how Lassen applies to Mars, you can check out the Ames team's website at amesteam.arc.nasa.gov/. I found my place in this internship at the very end of my senior year, after two years of participation at the high school level. After my hopes of being a drama major in college were dashed, I took the time to talk to the one non- scientist on the team working with us. Many of the students think of her as a By Jessica Rabalais mother figure, making sure they're warm and prepared. I asked Sandy Dueck what she does at NASA. That was the moment I came to realize that Education and Public Out- reach (EPO) existed. Then it simply became a matter of asking for help. I asked Sandy to help me find an EPO internship. Unfortunately, none existed, so Sandy created one. She has done so much for me, I could not thank her more for being a better role model. This have happened to me because of an opportunity I had at Red Bluff High. I hope so much that our students in Tehama County go looking for opportunities everywhere. Our county is just waiting to help students hungry for more. Jessica Rabalais will soon be a sophomore at Chapman University in Orange. She is a 2010 graduate of Red Bluff High School.
