who could already read.When her teacher asked her,"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Mae replied:"A scientist."Her teacher stared at her with wide eyes and couldn't believe what she just 
said:Not many women became scientists then,and certainly few black women.But that was Mae's first 
and only choice.

science fiction books.In sixth grade she read A Wrinkle in Time and the Arm of the Starfish."Those 
books stand out because they had women scientists and girl heroines,"Mae remembers.
     Books weren't the only way Mae learned.She was active in student government,acted in plays,and 
studied dance."In dance class,I grew stronger and gained an appreciation for hard work,physical 
strength,and grace,"she says.
     In college,Mae studied the physical and social sciences,and learned to speak Russian and the 
African language Swahili.She earned a degree in chemical engineering and African studies.After 
college,she studied medicine for four years,and became a medical doctor.
     In 1987,Mae was accepted into NASA's astronaut program.She trained in Texas,learning about 
space exploration.She worked for NASA,and waited for a shuttle assignment.
     When the space shuttle Endeavour went into orbit in 1992,Mae became the first African-American 
woman to orbit the earth.Mae looked down from the shuttle and saw Chicago.She remembered visiting 
the library,making science fair projects,and dancing."I felt like I belonged right there in space,"she

10.Dear young musicians,
Thank you for agreeing to take part in our Music Day.The whole idea of the day is for music students around the area to meet other players and receive expert teaching from our guests,six professional players.In the evening,you will perform the pieces you have worked on during the day at a concert which your friends and family can attend.
After you have registered at the reception,go to the main hall.First,there will be a short performance by our professional musicians who are joining us for the day.After this you will go int o your classes to practice on your own instruments for the evening concert.There will also be a chance to experiment with a different instrument from the one you normally play,and see if you enjoy playing something more unusual-we have several instruments to choose from!
The first part of the day will finish at 5 pm,when parents can collect students.For those remaining in the hall until the evening concert at 7 pm,there will be DVDs for you to watch,although you should also bring something to do while you are waiting.A change of clothes is required for the evening-black trousers or a skirt and white top-so unless you are going home at 5 pm,you will need to have this with you at the start of the day.
If for whatever reason you cannot attend the evening concert,you must tell us as soon as possible,as we need to know numbers in order to prepare the stage.We look forward to seeing you at the Young People's Music Day.
