This desire to learn about nature and how it all fits together eventually led her to pursue a degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University，which she started at 16 years old in 1973.By 1981，Jemison had her Doctor of Medicine Degree from Cornell Medical College.

　　It wasn’t until 1992，however，that another childhood desire was achieved：She launched into orbit above the earth aboard the space shuttle Endeavour.She was so determined，in fact，that even though her first application to NASA was turned down in 1983，she reapplied in 1987.After being selected for the astronaut program upon her second try，she was assigned to launch support activities at the Kennedy Space Center，Fla.

　　After working on the ground for five years，Jemison was finally sent into space as the science mission specialist on STS－47 Spacelab－J mission from Sept.12—20,1992.

　　This mission made Jemison not only the first African American woman accepted to the astronaut training program，but also the first to travel in space.She highlighted this fact，according to Doris L．Rich，the biographer of Bessie Coleman，by bringing a photo of Coleman with her into space.Coleman was the first African－American woman to fly an airplane in the U．S..

　　1．What are the three qualities that contribute to Jemison’s success？(No more than 5 words)
