I think Ellen Ochoa is a hero because Ellen Ochoa made robots that used special tools to see things around them. She and her team found a way for these robots to make computer parts. She wrote and spoke to many  
people about her computer parts. Ellen ochoa waited for another
chance to become an astronaut. While she waited, she joined a space research center. There she helped astronauts learn more about space. she learned to fly a 
plane and found that she loved to fly. In 1990,Ellen ochoa s` dream came true. She was chosen for the astronaut program. This shows that Ellen want all children to become astronaut. This reminds me of when Micheal Jordan shot a basket ball into the hoop and became a hero like Ellen.
