Looking back at the characteristics of a good critical
thinker listed on page 7 in Chapter 1, Sally Ride can totally exemplify these
qualities. Ride loved to solve problems while she was a child. She was known as
an exemplary critical thinker and able to clearly articulate and develop
strategies to meet her life goals. And also, she double majored in English and
Physics. From the background information given, I can tell she is a good
critical thinker. After she applied for a new group of astronauts, she was one
of 35 picked out of more than 8,000 applicants. She got picked because she had
outstanding analytical and critical thinking skills. Besides, Ride was chosen
to serve as Capcom because of her exemplary communication skills. She made good
use of her critical thinking and communication skills in order to have all those
achievements. Later on she helped little girls to develop their leadership,
writing and communication skills. She was not only contributed to the NASA but
also to the children.
Ride loves to solve problems as a child. This come from the analytical quality. Being exemplary critical thinker to does help her meet her goals in life, I find this amazing because she really defining ones goal means a lot. I think, she also got picked out of the 8,000 applicants as an excellent communicator. That is right her critical thinking and communication skills are essential to a Capcom. That is great that she help children girls develop leadership… I use too take my classes like communication and English for granted. Although now, I am trying to perfect it. Thank you… Great read.
