How astronomy changes my life

Currently, I really love astronomy. Here in Brazil, I don't hasn't have astronomy as a school subject in public schools, it is taught in physics, without much emphasis.

I remember when I was a child in the fifth year of school and I opened the science book, in the final book chapter , there had was a caption about the solar system, explaining about either planets. This chapter wasn't explained by the teacher over the year, unfortunately, but I read it at home alone. I thought that it was incredible and fascinating!! I want to know more about it!!

In the public schools principally, the teaching is bad. Basically, about for astronomy, I was had to searching alone, in books and before, hereafter, in on the internet. The Internet! It revolutionized my learning! I was born after Carl Sagan died. Maybe, without the internet, I never world would have known he him. I'm a big fan of scientists divulgers like Carl Sagan and Neil Degrasse Tyson.

The astronomy (and general science in general) helped me to open my mind and see the universe! It helped me drop superstitions and myths and be skeptical, have conscience of the reason power. I love astronomy not just by what it are is, but also by the way it makes me be.

I will end with a phase that I like much:
"The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars.", Sagan, C.

I'm grateful to who have has the patience to correct this big note <3
