On Both Of My Flights, Everything Went

It's No Secret That I've Been Reluctant To Use My Name For Things.

I Think It's Important For Little Girls Growing Up, And Young Women, To Have One In Every Walk Of Life. So From That Point Of View, I'm Proud To Be A Role Model!

I Have A Lot Of Common Sense. I Know What Needs To Be Done And How To Approach It. I Have An Ability To Work With People On Large Enterprises.

I Find Myself Looking Around For Other New, Interesting Opportunities To Dive Into.

The Most Important Steps That I Followed Were Studying Math And Science In School. I Was Always Interested In Physics And Astronomy And Chemistry And I Continued To Study Those Subjects Through High School And College On Into Graduate School. That's What Prepared Me For Being An Astronaut; It Actually Gave Me The Qualifications To Be Selected To Be An Astronaut.
