Sally Ride, the youngest and the first female American astronaut in space, learned that an effective communication will benefit her in the future. As for her, it benefited her and made her serve as the Capcom for the first and second shuttle flights for NASA. As a college student, she knew that in order to be successful you will need to develop communication skills including listening, speaking, and writing. Sally Ride took advantage of that and double majored in English and physics. Sally understood the benefits of an effective communication and she analyzed what is best for her. She gathered information and researched on what major would be the best for her and how it would push her forward. Based on her talents and interest, she evaluated the best possible options she can use and that was going to college. Sally Ride definitely represents a good critical thinker because she used her skills to enhance her success.
Sally Ride is such a great example of how using your critical thinking skills can help benefit your life. Just like you had said about how she learned that having effective communication skills would help benefit her in the future. That is a good example of how she used her critical thinking skills to see what would help her out in the future. She also used her critical thinking skills to get information and research what would be best major for her future to find a perfect job for herself. It seems that Sally was always using her critical thinking skills to try and find out what would help benefit her life. I would have to say that she succeeded in that since she even became the youngest and first female American astronaut in space.
