I love this man's story. Jose Hernandez, born of Mexican immigrant parents, becomes an astronaut after twelve years of applying and years of rejections. In 2004, he was finally accepted into the space program.
What is the secret to his success and something we can all take away for our own kids? A good education and parents who forced him to study, who checked his homework and stayed involved in his schooling.
