As an African American, she could never believe that she would someday work for NASA. She was very smart and graduated at 15. Then she was able to get a scholarship to West Virginia University -- the first African American woman to attend the school. Her ability in math helped her through the years. But her greatest accomplishment may have been her time in the space program.
