NORTHBROOK, IL
My name is Ari Porter and am a junior at Glenbrook North High School. I hope to become an astronaut one day due to my love of outer space and space flight. I am the co-president of my school's science club and have led teams to various competitions throughout the country. Also, I love to play golf and relax during my free time. When ever I have a chance, I sit down, relax, and read a good book. I cannot wait to go to college and learn new and interesting things about outer space, independency, and life.
