GATTACA Response

"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when i was standing right beside it."
             This quote was used by Vincent when he was a janitor for GATTACA, when his dream was to work there instead of being a janitor. Vincent had a goal of pursuing a job there since he was little. However, his genes and traits were not at the acceptance level as they required. When he got a job as a janitor, he was able to be there and see how everything works. He was also able to see the shuttles take off everyday. That was also his  ultimate goal, to fly in a shuttle. His dreams later came true, thanks to Jerome. Jerome had passed the genetic test and was ready to work there. However, he was hit by a car and broke his spine, which placed him in a wheel chair. GATTACA would not let Jerome work there if he showed up in a wheel chair that he would be in permanently. Vincent had treatments done in order to look like Jerome. He then posed as Jerome and got his dream of working at GATTACA. Later, he was able to go in a shuttle and fly to space.
