Mae Jemison
Have you ever heard this name? Probably not. Mae Jemison was the first woman of color to travel into space. She was also very intelligent and responsible. It seems weird that she isn’t known that well because she accomplished something really large. She helped women around the world be able to go into space.
Through out her life she was also a pediatrician. She got her medical degree from Cornell University in New York City and learned pediatrics at USC. Right now she is more of a doctor than an astronaut.
Are there any more jobs she could have had? The answer is yes. Currently, she is a professor at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Plus, she started a camp called The Earth We Share that teaches kids about science. During her life, dancing and learning Swahili were big factors.
Mae Jemison was a very important person in the world. She should be appreciated and known to all. Now when someone asks, “ Do you know someone named Mae Jemison?” You can say yes.
