Growing up in a family that valued education, Sylvia was inspired by her mother's stories of her own journey from Mexico to the United States and her father's work as a scientist. She became fascinated with the stars and the universe, and her parents encouraged her to pursue her passion for science and math. Sylvia's journey was not without its challenges, but with the support of her family, teachers, and mentors, she overcame obstacles and achieved her dream of working at NASA. Her story is an inspiration to young readers, showing them that with hard work and determination, they can achieve their own dreams and reach for the stars.
