Frank Dobie High School senior Zaheer Kamal jumped in with both feet when he was placed to work in the Aircraft Operations Division as part of the Career Explora- tion Program (CEP) at NASA Johnson Space Center. During Kamal’s fi rst week at Ellington Field, NASA Pi- lot/Astronaut Greg C. “Ray J” Johnson presented Kamal with a project of calculating historical T-38 data dating all the way back to the seven original astronauts. The over- whelming task included cal- culating more than 250,000 hours of fl ight time, assimi- lating numerous aircraft and pilot statistics, and graphing the results. Kamal meticulously and effi ciently tackled the project every day until it was fi nished, in just less than two months. To the surprise and delight of Johnson and the organiza- tion, Kamal completed the task in record time and with impeccable accuracy. Johnson was so impressed and appre- ciative that he invited Kamal to be a passenger aboard the More than 400 students from Region XIX competed recently for Nguyen (S), Jessica Cortez (P), Alondra Arriaga (S), Ruben Guppy Aircraft during its next a prestigious spot in the Region XIX Middle School Orchestra.

At Daily Milestones I create cards that say it with style and care; cards that appeal to all personalities for each individual occasion. Each milestone is special in its own way and Dobie Band Section of the Week therefore should be presented as so. My designs are here to speak for YOU. When people receive their card from you, you want to know that they feel as if it was made especially for them. To guarantee your satisfaction, I take time and care when outlining each and every one of my cards.
