Yes I think Ellen Ochoa is a hero because they said in the story Ellen wanted to be an engineer but men thought Ellen couldn't be one so she studied really hard and she became a good engineer. Also In the story they said Ellen Ochoa liked music and she liked to play the flute. She was really good at playing the flute. In the story they said Ellen wondered what else she could do. Her friends said be an astronaut.So when Ellen Ochoa first tryed they didn't pick her.The 2nd time she tryed they picked her.Then Ellen Ochoa was on a mission with her team. Ellen had to catch the satellite that was studying the sun. She used her robots arms that she made to catch the satellite that was studying the sun. When she caught the satellite her and her team were proud.This shows that Ellen Ochoa worked hard to become a hero.This reminds me of when I worked hard to be a hero and this is what I did to work hard.I did my homework and I worked hard to do it.I am also good at videogames because I work really hard on them.
