Can I Just Say That As A Future Engineer, And Hopeful Candidate For The NASA Space Program Katherine

Can I just say that as a future engineer, and hopeful candidate for the NASA space program Katherine Johnson, and NASA engineer Mary Jackson are the women I look up to. Every day I go to class I get my male peers treating me like I do f have the capability to understand the coursework. I get declined internships because they don’t feel I could handle the workload like the “strong men on the floor.” However none of these small inconveniences even pale in comparison to the suffering these brave, brilliant women had to go through to garner the respect they so deserved. Despite all the hardship, injustice, prejudice, and hate they received from a society who refused to see their worth simply because of what they looked like, these women kept fighting. They fought the good fight, and helped pave the way to a better future. A future where men and women alike could touch the stars. These are the women I want to make proud. These are the women that I want to succeed for.
