She Came to the US to Study with Only $300 – Now She’s a NASA Director
I am a latino and I really like Colombians, but this is a pathetic piece of pandering. At her personal level it is a nice story of course, but there are hundreds of thousands of cases like that. So she lived in Colombia, in what it was more probably than not a middle-class family (money to study in a exclusive and rare HS offering the IB and money to be sent to the US to live with family).She worked while getting a title at a community college (wow, unheard of) later got her BS, made her career at NASA and now she is a middle manager there.And that is now supposed to be some sort of incredible accomplishment for a "latina" woman. Talk about condescension, and setting the bar low.This is like the 6th different article I have seen about her in the last 2 weeks,so either some people is using her to "celebrate diversity" or she has a PR working efficiently to prop-up a future endeavor.
