Who is Mae Carol Jemison?
Mae Carol Jemison was born October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. She was the youngest of all three of the Jemison kids and moved to Chicago when she was only three. While there, Mae discovered the world of science. She was interested in anthropology, archaeology, and astronomy and enrolled at Stanford University at age 16. In 1977, she graduated with degrees in both chemical engineering and African-American studies. She received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University in 1981.
Mae Jamison's success story
As a little girl, Mae was very confident. When she first walked into kindergarten, she could already read. She shocked her teacher when she told her she wanted to be a scientist. Not many women were scientist and even less was black women. Even as a little girl she had set her goals.
Her love of science caused her to spend a lot of time in the library. She read books about the universe and in sixth grade she read books like A Wrinkle in Time (which also read in sixth grade) and The Arm of the Starfish.. She was active in student government, acted in plays, and studied dance. One thing that she mentioned about dance class was that it helped her grow stronger and gain an appreciation for hard work, physical strength, and grace.
In college, Mae studied the physical and social sciences, and she also learned Russian and Swahili (the African language). She graduated with two degrees (in chemical engineering and African-American Studies) and received another one later on in medicine. She studied for four years and became a medical doctor.
Dr. Jemison has practiced medicine at a refugee camp and as a medical officer with the Peace Corps in West Africa. It was when she was working as a general practitioner in Los Angeles, California when NASA had chosen her as one of the fifteen people to undergo astronaut training. Dr. Jemison completed her training as a mission specialist with NASA in 1988. In t September of 1992, Mae was a mission specialist on the space shuttle Endeavour and she became the first African-American woman to go into space. In 1993, Dr. Jemison resigned from NASA and founded the Jemison Group, Inc. Some of her current projects include improving healthcare in Africa and advancing technology in developing countries.
