The main challenges I had to face were segregation and discrimination. As an African-American, I had to deal with segregation as a child when there was no high school for me in my hometown.

My calculating skills helped a man named John Glenn to become the first American to orbit the Earth. In 1969 I also calculated trajectories that led the Apollo 11 to the moon.😌
