HernaÌandez watched the Apollo 17 moonwalks on his family's black and white television in 1972 and knew what he wanted to be when he grew up: an astronaut. Later that night he told his father and was surprised when his dad said, "You can do this, m'ijo!" Mr. HernaÌandez told his son that if he really wanted to become an astronaut, he would need to follow a simple, five-ingredient recipe to succeed: 1) decide what you want, 2) recognize how far you are from your goal, 3) draw a road map to get there, 4) prepare yourself with a good education and 5) develop a good work ethic, always giving more than required. In the years to come, JosaÌe would follow this recipe as he obtained undergraduate and master's degrees in electrical engineering. Adding his own ingredient, perseverance, he applied to NASA's astronaut program eleven times-and was rejected each time! Finally, in 2004, he was selected to be part of the 19th class of US Astronauts. He achieved his dream in 2009 when he served as the flight engineer on the Space Shuttle Discovery on the STS-128 fourteen-day mission to the International Space Station. In From Farmworker to Astronaut, JosaÌe M. HernaÌandez recollects his parallel journeys, juxtaposing memories of his mission to the space station and childhood aspirations to reach the stars. His story is sure to motivate kids to set goals and reach for their own dreams"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10-15 $b Arte PaÌublico Press, PiaÌnata Books 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Arte PaÌublico Press, PiaÌnata Books 600 10 $a HernaÌndez, JoseÌ M., $d 1962- $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Astronauts $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Hispanic American astronauts $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Migrant agricultural laborers $z California $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 700 12 $a HernaÌndez, JoseÌ M., $d 1962- $t From Farmworker to astronaut. 700 12 $a HernaÌndez, JoseÌ M., $d 1962- $t From Farmworker to astronaut. $l Spanish. 776 08 $i Online version: $a HernaÌandez, JosaÌe M., 1962- $t From farmworker to astronaut $d Houston : Arte PaÌublico Press, PiaÌnata Books, 2019. $z 9781518505430 $w (DLC) 2019028874 941 $a 3 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20200723023119.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200314011019.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20191213010932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9AA0BFE41D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
