Sally

Sally ride was the first American female astronaut in space. Also which I feel is even more of an accomplishment for her was she currently is the youngest to ever reach space. As for her, it benefited her and made her serve as the Capcom for the first and second shuttle flights for NASA. Sally understood the benefits of an effective communication and she analyzed what is best for her. As a college student, she knew that in order to be successful you will need to develop communication skills including listening, speaking, and writing. Sally Ride took advantage of that and double majored in English and physics.  She gathered information and researched on what major would be the best for her and how it would push her forward. Based on her talents and interest, she evaluated the best possible options she can use and that was going to college. Sally Ride definitely represents a good critical thinker because she used her skills to enhance her success.
