Download or read book Flying Free written by Cecilia Aragon and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daughter of a Chilean father and a Filipina mother, Cecilia Rodriguez Aragon grew up as a shy, timid child in a small midwestern town during the 1960s. Targeted by school bullies and dismissed by many of her teachers, she worried that people would find out the truth: that she was INTF. Incompetent. Nerd. Terrified. Failure. This feeling stayed with her well into her twenties when she was told that “girls can’t do science” or “women just don’t know how to handle machines.” Yet in the span of just six years, Cecilia became the first Latina pilot to secure a place on the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team and earn the right to represent her country at the Olympics of aviation, the World Aerobatic Championships. How did she do it? Using mathematical techniques to overcome her fear, Cecilia performed at air shows in front of millions of people. She jumped out of airplanes and taught others how to fly. She learned how to fund-raise and earn money to compete at the world level. She worked as a test pilot and contributed to the design of experimental airplanes, crafting curves of metal and fabric that shaped air to lift inanimate objects high above the earth. And best of all, she surprised everyone by overcoming the prejudices people held about her because of her race and her gender. Flying Free is the story of how Cecilia Aragon broke free from expectations and rose above her own limits by combining her passion for flying with math and logic in unexpected ways. You don’t have to be a math whiz or a science geek to learn from her story. You just have to want to soar.

Book Synopsis Today's Inspired Latina by : Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz
Download or read book Today's Inspired Latina written by Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz and published by Dpwn Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Inspired Latina is a book of inspiration and hope, a poignant collection of personal stories that will activate your passion. These are success stories that need to be told, to motivate our community and generations to come. By overcoming language barriers, self-doubts and other obstacles in their way, these strong Latinas are a great example of how inspiration and perseverance can lead you to happiness and success in business and life. It's a positive, empowering read for anyone sitting on a dream and thinking it can't come true. Today's Inspired Latina shows that it can! Introduction Sometimes in life you have an experience that is so amazing, you just have to share it! When I published my first book, my life changed. Six books later, not a day goes by that I don't receive a text or email from someone who tells me how my story has helped or inspired them. I am humbled by their accolades. I have also had the pleasure of meeting a number of young Latinas, once like me, setting forth in the world full of promise and dreams. Often times they don't have a role model or mentor to guide them in the right direction towards success; they experience financial difficulties or lack of support. It was witnessing these challenges that inspired me to start The Fig Factor Foundation to help them "unleash the amazing." In addition, through my company, JJR Marketing, I have met many strong, inspiring Latinas who came from a similar place, yet persevered through language barriers, cultural and educational obstacles as well as their own self-limiting beliefs to rise to positions of authority and success. One day I realized that theirs were the stories that needed to be told. Their stories will provide hope and inspiration to the next generation of Latinas that need to believe they could achieve their own success. I am proud to be a catalyst to capture the beauty and essence of these incredible Hispanic women while creating an emotional touchstone for their younger Hispanic sisters. For while I believe everyone has a story to tell, the reality is that becoming a book author can be an intimidating prospect. I completely understand that the expense, time commitment and process of authorship can be completely discouraging. That's why "Today's Inspired Latina" is such an important project. As contributors, these wonderful Latinas are able to impart their story, grow their dreams and activate the next generation and every individual reader. These authors have crossed more than borders to create a place of contentment in the world. I'm confident everyone can learn from their experiences, whether or not you are Latina. Jacqueline Camacho

Download or read book Storm Lake written by Art Cullen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A reminder that even the smallest newspapers can hold the most powerful among us accountable."—The New York Times Book Review Watch the documentary Storm Lake on PBS. Iowa plays an outsize role in national politics. Iowa introduced Barack Obama and voted bigly for Donald Trump. But is it a bellwether for America, a harbinger of its future? Art Cullen’s answer is complicated and honest. In truth, Iowa is losing ground. The Trump trade wars are hammering farmers and manufacturers. Health insurance premiums and drug prices are soaring. That’s what Iowans are dealing with, and the problems they face are the problems of the heartland. In this candid and timely book, Art Cullen—the Storm Lake Times newspaperman who won a Pulitzer Prize for taking on big corporate agri-industry and its poisoning of local rivers—describes how the heartland has changed dramatically over his career. In a story where politics, agriculture, the environment, and immigration all converge, Cullen offers an unsentimental ode to rural America and to the resilient people of a vibrant community of fifteen thousand in Northwest Iowa, as much survivors as their town.
