Joan Melendez-Misner ungunjiniyela wokuhlanganisa izinhlelo zeNASA osebenzisa iTikTok ukukhuthaza isizukulwane esisha sososayensi beLatinx.
Ekhula, uMelendez-Misner wabona inkambu ye-STEM - isayensi, ubuchwepheshe, ubunjiniyela kanye nezibalo - bekugcwele amadoda. Wayengenazo izibonelo eziningi futhi engeyena ngisho isihlabani sezibalo noma isayensi yena ngokwakhe. Kodwa ekugcineni, waqaphela ukuthi kwakungafanele aphelele ukusebenza eNASA .
Namuhla wethula amarokhethi esikhungweni se-Kennedy Space for the Launch Services Program.
Ekukhuleni kwami, ngangingenazo izibonelo eziningi. Njalo uma ngibheka ososayensi, ngangicabanga ikakhulukazi … abamhlophe [amadoda]. Futhi babengekho ososayensi abaningi ababebukeka njengami, uMelendez-Misner utshele In The Know.

Ukubona ifilimu Apollo 13 njengengane kwaba ukunyakaza okubalulekile ebuntwaneni bakhe.
ngabona Apollo 13 lapho ngisemncane, wachaza. Ngabona ukuthi ukulawulwa kwemishini kwakunjani, nokukwazi ukuhlala ekulawuleni i-mission, kanye nokuba ngomunye walabo njiniyela ukusho ukuthi hamba ukwethulwa bese ngibona i-rocket yethulwa emkhathini.
Kodwa ekolishi, uMisner wabuza ukuthi uyoke abe muhle ngokwanele yini ukuphila amaphupho akhe. Wafeyila izifundo eziningi futhi waphathwa yi-imposter syndrome.
Lapho ngicabanga nge-NASA, ngacabanga ukuthi udinga ukuba yingcweti ngempela ku-physics, uphumelele ngempela ezibalweni, i-4.0 GPA. Ngakho-ke angikaze ngicabange ukuthi ngingakwazi ukugcina ngisebenza e-NASA ngethula amarokhethi, kusho yena.
Lapho eqala ukukhuluma Onjiniyela be-NASA nabanye abeluleki, wabekezela. Ekugcineni wathweswa iziqu oneziqu ze-bachelor's engineering chemical and chemistry kanye ne-master's in systems engineering.
Benginabeluleki abaningi abahle ngempela ukungisiza endleleni yokufaka izicelo ezikhundleni zeNASA, echaza. Ngafaka isicelo ku-NASA izikhathi ezingu-13. Ngenqatshwa. Futhi kwaba yileso sikhathi se-14 lapho ngathola khona leyo nhlolokhono futhi ngathola isikhundla.
@yourfemaleengineerUngakhohlwa ukuthi ufanelwe yonke impumelelo oyisebenzele kanzima! #ImposterSyndrome #unjiniyela #womeninstem #ushukela #milenialsoftiktok

Manje uMelendez-Misner uphila iphupho lakhe lokuba kulelo gumbi lokulawula lemishini.
Okungivuze kakhulu kube ukwethula amarokhethi, kusho yena. Le engisanda kuyenza, eyethule ngosuku lwami lokuzalwa ngonyaka odlule, obekuyi-Sentinel-6, futhi leyo yisathelayithi ezungeza Umhlaba njengamanje.
Sentinel-6 iqoqa idatha ekujuleni kolwandle lwethu futhi isize ukulwa nenkinga yesimo sezulu. UMelendez-Misner uphinde asebenze nenhlangano engenzi nzuzo ISIGCAWU eyethula a I-GoFundMe ukuhlinzeka ngosizo emkhakheni we-STEM eNingizimu Melika.
Esizama ukukwenza ukukhulisa imali yokuletha izinto ze-STEM, izinto zesikole kanye nezinsiza zesayensi ezinganeni ezingaphezu kuka-2,000 eCaribbean naseNingizimu Melika ukuze zibakhuthaze ukuthi bangene ku-STEM futhi, esho.
Unjiniyela unethemba lokuhlinzeka ngokubonakala kwezingane ezinjengaye ezikhule ngaphandle kwezibonelo ezinhle ku-STEM.
Kimina, ukuba ngumenzi woshintsho noma ukukhuthaza isizukulwane esilandelayo kuwumgomo wami omkhulu, kusho uMelendez-Misner. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngikwenza ngezinkundla zokuxhumana, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngikwenza ngezindatshana, izingxoxo, noma izingqungquthela, ngizizwa ngihloniphekile ngokuthi ngiyakwazi ukukhuthaza isizukulwane esilandelayo.

Uma uyijabulele le ndaba, funda mayelana lezi zishoshovu ze-5 Gen Z ezishintsha umhlaba.
