Heather Whitestone McCallum was born on February 24, 1973 in Dothan, Alabama (“Heather Whitestone”). When Heather turned 18 months old, she captured a high fever from the virus, Haemophilus Influenzae, which resulted in hospitalization. Whitestone was close to death, when the doctors prescribed her two extremely powerful antibiotics. She returned home as a normal toddler until her mother had an accident in the kitchen and realized something was wrong. Whitestone’s mother had dropped several pans while cooking, and Heather did not jump or move when the pans hit the floor. Heather was taken to a children’s hospital, where the doctors concluded that she had lost her hearing from Haemophilus Influenzae, the powerful antibiotics, or a combination of both (“Heather Whitestone | Bio | Premiere Motivational Speakers Bureau.”). At a young age, Whitestone’s parents trained her to read lips and speak using an educational arrangement titled, “Acoupedics.” Because she learned how to speak and read lips, she did not receive an interpreter during her years in public school (“Heather Whitestone”).

One warm day in late May of 1951, young Sally Kristen Ride came into the world. However, a whole new world would soon be open to her. She would leave the warmth of her home and soar into space. Her supreme qualities of braveness and determination would let her pursue her dreams, accomplish her goals, and make history. Sally Ride would one day be looked upon generations of people, especially women, in so many more ways than one.

She wrote, “I remember, the night I figured out I was pregnant, my mother just sat there and held me. I knew she would support me through this whole thing.” She also wrote, “Without my sister, mom and best friend I wouldn’t have made it through this part of my life.” With a lot on her plate like, completing school, working, dance and maintaining a friend group, all while trying to raise a child, life was going to get difficult fast. Her main goal while having a child was to graduate. She said “So many people told me to just give up, there is no way I’ll be able to do both. I told myself I had to, for my baby.” With the help of her mom and sister, she did just that on June 13th 1997. Through lots of consultations with family and friends she persevered with her baby. She didn’t let this small mistake affect the rest of her

She was born in a small town called McCune, Kansas where she grew up with her three brothers and four sisters; she was the second youngest of eight. Growing up, she would always tell me how she didn’t wear store bought clothes until the third grade, or how she would get up before the crack of dawn to go out to feed her bucket calf. She also told me how I would never make it living the farm life. Now a day, you can find her at Eureka City Hall working from eight to six to coming home, taking care of her family, and chasing her kids. Her name is Karen Simon, and she is my mom, an Army wife, and loving person. In 1993, she married her husband John Simon and four years later, she had her first daughter, Allison Simon, in 1997. In 2000, she had her favorite daughter, Hannah Simon, which is me. She is one of the most thoughtful people you will ever meet, and she will help her children with anything from homework to extracurricular activities projects. The first thing that comes to mind is her voice. At one point, it can soft and quiet like a small creek with the water flowing slowly, talking smoothly trying to calm her children down when they get upset. Next her voice is strong and harsh like a rapid river, going off on her children for something they didn’t do or something they did wrong.
