Mrs. Universe Computer I Poem By Samaira,10,Faridabad

Mrs. Universe Computer

A person or a woman,  

Same thing but different.  

By their genders  

A Person can be both;

Male and Female.

A woman is only a female.  

Well, the human being  

I’m talking about was a  

A woman born on  

August 26, 1918. 

An American mathematician. 

Her name was Katherine Johnson. 

She started with Math,  

But then geometry 

Opened her intelligence wider,  

Making her an enthusiast of  

Both Science and Math.  

She calculated and analyzed  

The flight paths of many spacecrafts.  

She worked in NASA,  

She helped NASA  

Send astronauts to the moon,  

And return them back to the Earth-  

Which is their home sweet home. 

Katherine overcame  

Racial and gender hurdles,  

That helped make giant hops  

For humankind. 

There is one unique thing about her – 

When she was only 15  

She graduated with honors.  

At the age of 18,  

She taught Black students Math  

And broke down barriers.  

In a world where doors were shut,  

she knocked and knocked  

And then opened them  

For others to follow.  

Her work was invisible to most.  

But without her, the stars might not have aligned  

For history to shine so bright  

She didn’t seek fame,  

She sought truth in numbers.  

Guiding rockets, reaching for the sky  

Her legacy is not just in the equations  

But in the courage to defy  

She proved that a woman, a Black woman,  

Could write her own future  

And chart a path  

For generations to come.  

Her name, Katherine Johnson  

Will echo through time forever.
