Grace Hopper's Accomplishments

Amazing how a little girl can make history and contribute so much to society. Despite the things she went through she stayed strong. She is great influence to all of us. Like Bridges says,“Don’t follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength and conviction the only thing that can stop you is

Dorothy got her education at Wilberforce University in Ohio. Where she later got her Bachelor’s in Science degree. Her parents both, Annie Johnson and Leonard Johnson always expressed how proud they were.

Because of her persisted in her mission, to acquire valuable lessons about humanity and

An example of that would be during a laboratory open house, where a photo of her and the rest of her co-workers was blown up and put on display, with the exception of her face which was purposely cut out of the picture. She was very embarrassed about it but she didn't let it affect her. In an interview with NASA she said “When people have their biases and prejudices, yes, I am aware. My head is not in the sand. But my thing is, if I can't work with you, I will work around you. I was not about to be discouraged that I'd walk away. That may be a solution for some people, but it's not mine”. Another obstacle she faced was her inability to get a good education as others because of her skin colour. Back at her time, there was a lot of discrimination.which resulted in a separation of schools for black and white people. The schools with black kids typically had a worse education. She was also unable to continue her study as a pharmacist because she got married and had to move. Though all of that happened to her It didn't stop her from becoming a great computer programmer, mathematician, and a rocket scientist for NASA who helped make modern spaceflight possible with her calculations. Everything she has done and all the obstacles she has faced are reasons that make her a very notable

Some say she contributed a lot of important things to science. Her many honors include induction into Phi Beta Kappa as well as being tapped as a fellow of the American Association for the advancement of science. She started a scholarship in honor of her father for minority students who want to study science at Queens College. She is described as a person a happy person because of her accomplishments. She inspires african-american females to do what they put their mind to.

community that she could do anything and by doing that generations after her continued to work

She had the courage to show women that they can be more than just a housewife. She went out and helped Lewis and Clark and she took care of her child at the same time. She was sick and kidnapped yet still managed to be a good person and change the world for women.

She was the 16th woman to be given a pilot’s license and the first to fly across the Atlantic ocean. Because her family moved a lot looking for work she became independent and did not rely on her parents to provide for her. When she went to visit her sister in Canada she saw wounded soldiers returning from war. This prompted her to volunteer with the Red Cross where she met many injured pilots. This, coupled with the sight of the Royal Flying Corps practicing, gave her a strong admiration for aviation. In 1920 she went for her first plane ride at an airshow and from then on she devoted herself to learning how to fly. She took spare jobs and got enough money to go through aviation training. In 1921 she purchased a used airplane for herself and a year later flew it to 14,000 feet, a new world record for female pilots. She had to sell her plane a few years later to provide for her parents and it wasn’t until 1927 that she got back into flying. In 1928 she was asked by a fellow pilot to fly across the Atlantic and she immediately said yes. She went with two other pilots and didn’t fly at all due to the weather. Still, she was seen as a celebrity be many. In 1931 she set a new altitude world record at 18,415 feet. She was also involved in a women’s aviation group called the Ninety-Nines who aimed to advance women in aviation. On May 20th of 1932 she took off to fly across the Atlantic alone. After about 15 hours

Mary settled working in NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) in 1951. She worked and was the member of the west area computing unit, were at the time was called the “human computer”. She was supervised by Dorothy Vaughan who was also a comprising African American female mathematician. Both women provided data that was important for the early success of the space

A women's activist, she called for ladies to increase financial autonomy, and the work solidified her remaining as a social scholar. It was even utilized as a textbook at one time.

Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson was- and still is- an important figure in the space and mathematics world. Known as the girl who loved to count, a NASA mathematician, and a human computer, she helped in many U.S accomplishments while working for NASA. Although many African-Americans plus many women were limited to what they could do as a job without being discriminated, the women of the human computer project changed a lot of stereotypes. Katherine Johnson has inputted a positive influence for African-Americans and for her work at NASA and because of her great accomplishments while employed at NASA, the United States and other nations wouldn't have gotten their spaceships to space successfully and safely, or at least in an adequate amount of

Johnson was one of the first to enroll in the mathematics program, received her B.S degree in French and mathematics.After college, Johnson began teaching in elementary schools and high schools in Virginia and West Virginia. Joined Langley Research Center (LaRC) as a research mathematician for the National Advisory committee for aeronautics(NACA)

she was asked to write the foreword to the freedom writers diary. she was extremely honored and proud but at the same time amazed of how many wonderful things can happen in such a short time. When she met the freedom writers she was touched by their warmth and kindness. they had invited her and her parents and one of her best friends who had lived with her at the time to come to Long Beach.also she talks about her life and how she never thought that her diary would be published and certainly didn't expect it to become a war diary and how we find ourselves surprised, confused, and scared. finally she talks about how her diary helped inspired the freedom writers and how the freedom writers could have chosen to fight racism with racism and hate with hate pain with pain but they did not and if we do the same things as the freedom writers then we can turn The world around and create positive lessons for ourselves and for others but also how we cannot completely erase all the evil from the world but we can change the way we deal with it and we can become strong and true to ourselves and how we can also inspire

When I first met Grace in the middle of third grade she was always a nice girl who loved to read and spend over fifty dollars on just books at the book fairs. I faintly remember her crying. Crying because Sona said she did not want to be her

Katherine a determined woman she began college at the age of 15 taking every math course the college could offer and graduated in 1937 with degrees of math and french at age 18, she was a great mathematician she soon heard that NASA was looking for new people and were open to hiring african american women. In addition, 8n 1958 Goble worked as an aerospace technologist, but by the time electronic computers came began to come out many of the women human computers that nasa had used to help figure out mathematical problems, but not katherine she was trusted more than an actual computer itself they believed she could do a more accurate job than the computers themselves.
