Reflection
Tiffany Redway
Frida Simor:
She Inspires me because she got a full scholarship and I want a scholarship so I don't have to pay anything
Reflections
Maddie Pozos:
Sau inspires me because she discovered something that all scientists use in their daily career.
Hailey Muniz
Hailey Muniz
She inspires me because she grew up in a hard time and she still manged to be very successful. Even if men didn't want her to become a scientist, she still strives to reach her dream. She is independent and relies on her knowledge.
Tiffany Redway
Sau Lan Wu makes me remember how lucky I am to have parents who support me and care for me and even though she did not have her family to support her she was a great scientist.
