Yes I think Ellen is a hero because  she  was  a  good  math student and she  didn't  let  any  body  hinder  her. When  Ellen  was  older  she  wanted  to  be  an astronaut but  when she  applied  the  first  time   she  did'nt  get  it  then  she  learned.  She  loved  to  fly  and  then  she  had   became  an  engineer   and  then   she   created  robots  out  of  computer  parts.    Then  the  second   time when  she applied for  an  astranaut     job  she was one of   22  people  who   got  astranaut  job.  She  played  the   flute     in  space  and  this  remind  me  of  when  I  didn't  play   for  the   bears little league  but   the  second  time  I  got  it. This  shows  that  Ellen  is  a  hero.
