"I met Charity as an undergrad who had just returned from a NASA internship, and I was going to write about her experience. She was the first in her family to graduate high school. She’s also overcome unimaginable adversity—losing her son and husband in a terrible tragedy at the coast. She went on to grad school and recently landed a dream job with NASA working on the Webb Space Telescope. It would take 1,000 words to tell her inspiring story." Submitted by Jim Murez
