1. Persuade us to consider your figure as the “greatest” human being who ever lived. Give is 3 reasons with evidence. Use persuasive language.
My hero is Eileen Collins. As a pilot, Eileen Collins has logged over five thousand hours in 30 different type of aircraft. She definitely had the qualifications of piloting the space shuttle. In the years between her acceptance into the astronaut program and her actual first mission, she was busy doing a lot of other crucial tasks for NASA. Initially assigned to orbiter engineering support, she also served on the astronaut support team responsible for orbiter pre-launch checkout, final launch configuration and landing and recovery systems. She also worked in Mission Control as a spacecraft communicator and served as the Astronaut Office Spacecraft Systems Branch Chief. Eileen Collins has wanted to be an astronaut since the age of ten. She accomplished her dream and in doing so accomplished the dreams of many other women and inspired young girls to dream the impossible. And now as she passes the torch to other women, she becomes and idol whose steps the future astronauts will follow. Colonel Eileen Collins is not only a hero for women but an American hero as well, and she will surely be recognized as one.
