I am going to talk about a woman who made a great impact to the ones who did not believe in her from the beginning of her dreams. She made woman see different from the people who is chauvinist. Her name is Ellen Ochoa. She was born in 1958 in Los Angeles California. She considers her hometown La Mesa California.

There is nothing compared to Earth because for her is freedom of movement. In conclusion, Ellen Ochoa was a very successful person. She followed her dreams, and made history in the NASA. For the Hispanic pride I think that they are proud of the race because now we have an important people that are Hispanic.

She changed Latino music by combining different genres in her music to connect with other cultures besides her own.
