During the end of my 8th grade, the students were assigned to write an essay about an important person. When it was my turn, everyone I wanted were gone, so I hurriedly picked someone. It was Mae Jemison. After researching about Jemison, I became inspired by her determination, her selfless personality and how we both share common interests. Jemison is the first African-American women to travel in space, and is the base of my space scientist passion. Also, Jemison was the reason, I meet a few of my good friends with the equal amusement for space
Mollie is the patient in our case study. Mollie lives with her daughter and son in law, both in their 70’s. A home health aide assists Mollie five days a week for three hours each day. At age 94, Mollie is an older adult, considered to be part of a vulnerable population, at risk for hearing, visual and mobility deficits. This at risk population can experience changes in cognitive or physical status making the activities of daily living difficult to perform (Meiner, 2011). As people like Mollie age, gradually becoming less able to function independently, their grown children, potential caregivers, may be preoccupied with the demands of their own lives and not prepared to care for an older
Peggy got a part-time job and continued her studies at a local community college. Soon she received a scholarship to a four-year university and enjoyed every moment of it. In the end, Peggy inspired us to take charge of our own future, and not to neglect our work. She taught us that no one else is to blame for the choices we
For a long time, women’s potential in Science was little to none. However, over the years, it has now changed because of the outstanding breakthroughs and encouraging accomplishments women have done through the years. It is because of them, women’s potential in Science and other realms of studies has now evolved with more understandings and discoveries. It is for the reason of Maria Mitchell, one of the first female astronomers to be recognized in Science, that women’s potential were essentially respected. Her discoveries during her time as a student, a teacher, and an astronomer paved the way for many others, not just in Science, but also for woman’s rights and potential to be seen.
One of the strongest women scientist/astronomer was born in 1818 as Maria Mitchell whom led an unbelievable life and had an incredible discovery. Maria Mitchell was born when women were not given the opportunity to vote nor did women have the same equal rights as men did, but given her circumstances of her father being a principal, founding his own school and being a distant family member of Benjamin Franklin she was given the same rights as the men did. Given a few obstacles she led an extraordinary life and became the first woman in America to work as an astronomer professionally, which she than later received an award personally from King Frederick VII, for her work and discovery.
Mae Carol Jemison is on the lookout! She is wanted for being the FIRST African American female astronaut to be admitted into NASA space program. Jemison was born in Decatur, Alabama on October 17, 1956. Her family included of her mother who was an elementary school teacher, her father who worked as a roofer and carpenter, her sister Ada who became a child psychiatrist, and finally her brother Charles who was a real estate broker. Mae has worked in the NASA Space Program in the USA but other careers she has pursued include a medical doctor, physician, chemical engineer, teacher, and a scientist . She had obtained her M.D in 1981 after graduating from Cornell University Medical College, but after that she had followed her dream of being an astronaut
In fifth grade, I had a teacher by the name of Mrs. Sera. Even typing her name gives me this cold feeling inside; she eerily resembles Miss Viola Swamp from the children’s book Miss Nelson is Missing. Viola Swamp was “the meanest substitute teacher in the whole world.” Mrs. Sera, on the other hand, my full-time educator and seemingly just as mean. She had a long pointy chin, a fairly large nose, and extremely thin lips that rarely ever smiled just like Miss Swamp. During this year leading up to middle school, I struggled in every subject: math, science, social studies, and language arts. The only parts of the day I succeeded in were recess and lunch. I remember one day, I had a test in science. I received a 23%. This is still the lowest grade
Lynnsey Tabor was born on April 30th 2002. She had brown hair and blue eyes. When she was younger, she was the nicest and the sweetest girl without a care in the world. She was a lot like me. Always with the guys and hated the prissy girls. She would always go to her grandpa’s house on her dad’s side of the family and all of her cousins were boys. So, she would always do the things they did, such as Legos, batman, video games and Youtube. She was a lot like me in some of those ways.
For one, many men were hesitant to welcome women, solely because these men had never worked alongside women in a professional manner. Many had little to no understanding of women’s issues and health, as menstruation and using the bathroom served as major obstacles. Another barrier that women faced in the space program relates to intersectionality, as all of the first women astronauts were white. In fact, it was not until 1992 when Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman to go into space. A final barrier, which serves less as a sign of inequality, and more of a sign of equality in the worst way, was the failure of the shuttle the Challenger. During this flight, Christa McAuliffe, who was chosen by NASA to pioneer the Teacher in Space program, as well as Judy Resnik from the 35 new guys, both died when the shuttle broke apart and crashed into the ocean. The sad truth that women had both died and lived in space proved their growing equality with men in the
Mae Jemison was the first African American to go to space. Not only was she the first African American she was also the first woman ever to travel to space. She graduated from Stanford University, the fourth best college in The United States of America. She joined the Peace Corps and worked as the medical officer in Sierra Leone and Liberia. These are just a few of her many accomplishments making her
I. Colin Powell said, “A dream does not become a reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work”. This quote is the perfect one to describe Katherine Johnson because when she first got into NACA, they would not let women in the meetings they had to discuss the process of their projects or of their future projects. With her determination, Katherine was let into the meetings and thanks to that, she was able to do what she did. Because of all her hard work, Katherine Johnson has been recognized for doing the calculation that sent the first American to space, and overcoming the barriers of being an African American woman.

school was very easy. Now in 6th grade, I’m being challenged, trying my hardest, and
I apologize for my no call no show today! This morning was not a morning that I could win. Something you don't know about me is that I suffer from Bipolar Depression. For me this has been a struggle that I have been dealing with in undergrad that I have not until this past year really learned what is going on with my body. This morning was the final blow to my self that yet again that I am going to have to change medications or something in that nature will have to happen. I have been in denial telling myself that it is that I am not getting enough sleep or this or that, but this morning I could not will myself to get myself out of bed and that is a problem. I am taking the appropriate steps in contacting my doctor to get an appointment
There are many things that have molded me into the person I am today such as being born into a family with four children. With three siblings, I have been forced to be able to work out problems from stealing each other’s toys to having to rush to the emergency room to get stiches because my brother chased me around the house and I tripped. My mother, father, brother, and two sisters were all born in Pennsylvania and I am the odd ball and I was born in Adrian, Michigan. From when I was a child I always loved being involved with sports because of my competitive nature. I grew up playing soccer and having success with that but then my love changed and I began playing lacrosse and football. I started playing lacrosse in middle school and played
Her Passion for Learning & nbsp; It took me eighteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has had on my life. She' s the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions about which artist she would most want to have her portrait painted by (Sargent), the kind of mother who always has time for her four children, and the kind of community leader who has a seat on the board of every major project to assist Washington' s impoverished citizens. Growing up with such a strong role model, I developed many of her enthusiasms. I not only came to love the excitement of learning simply for the sake of knowing something new, but I also came to understand the idea of giving back to the community in exchange for a new sense of life, love, and spirit. & nbsp; My mother's enthusiasm for learning is most apparent in travel.
Eileen Collins, Valentina Tereshkova, Mae Jemison, Sally Ride, Svetlana Savitskaya, and many other women who got the opportunity to enter into space all made their impact on modern History and Science. These names will be remembered throughout the decades because of the amazing strides they made in their Space Programs and for their unique stories on how they got the opportunity to go to space. No matter what program these women were working for there is no doubt that they have all made quite a difference the world. All these women risked their lives in the pursuit of obtaining knowledge, credibility, and improvement for their Space Programs. Their loyalty and dedication for what they did will forever influence generations to come. Never forget what these women did because maybe one day you can make an impact like they did.
