        I saw a movie called “Hidden Figure”. The movie was about a 3 of black females working at NASA in the 60s, right before the start of the Apollo missions. They all started out as calculators, they we exceled at their jobs. However, their career was severely limited by the color of their skin. Some time has passed before they each were able to seize the opportunity to move on while facing with racist and sexist challenge. Nevertheless, with much hard work, they were finally able to earn the respect of their white male coworkers and became rocket scientists and engineers.

        The movie was inspiring for me, for I have wanted to become a marketing executive. However, I have always feared that I might lack the professional skills to manage the job. I fear I would appear “unskilled” in front of others who were trained in college to do the job exactly as the 3 main characters in the movie had. Watching this movie made me realize that there are many possibilities lying around, and I simply have to find them. More importantly, when an opportunity presents itself, I must me ready to grab it.
