Hidden Figures And Thursday Jan 19th- Rene Jatoi

 Today we started of he morning by talking about Neil deGrasse Tyson, we talked about this because Dr Ott had recently watched his show.  We talked about how on the tree of life we are placed right next to mice. We continued our day with short meditation intervals, we did about four. This was different to anything I had ever done because we usually do one long meditation session, which I prefer because I can get in the zone. To finish of the first half of class we listened to Carly's presentation on music therapy. I found it quite entertaining and informative, I had no idea that music had such an impact on helping people recover. Music can help with things like a studder, people in prison and people unable to speak. After our lunch break we headed out to watch a movie at Edwards Theatre. The movie was about three colored women working in NASA. As you can imagine back in the day that was pretty unheard of. The main character was named Catherine Goble and she was a math genius. The whole story is about her and two other women and their fight to freedom. Catherine in particular was assigned to help the big dogs with launching the first rocket into space and making it orbit around the world. You can imagin being the only colored women working with a bunch of white men at the time would be pretty intimidating. Although she had faced her obstacles in the end she persevered through everything and made her name in history. This movie related to positive phycology in many ways like choosing your real friends and cancelling out all th unnecessary noise in your life.
