1. At dawn, Sally Ride stood in the backyard with a telescope and a notebook. She wanted to know what was hiding beyond the moon.
2. At breakfast, Sally filled her notebook with questions. Why did the stars shine? How far away were they? Her toast grew cold.
3. Sally searched for answers in books. Each answer opened another door, and behind every door waited a new question.
4. At school, Sally tested a paper rocket. It flew farther than she expected and scattered the papers. Sally picked them up, then wrote down what had happened.
5. Sally kept studying science. Some problems were hard, but she tried again, checked her work, and asked for help when she needed it.
6. Years later, Sally became an astronaut. She trained her body, practiced with machines, and packed her questions along with her courage.
7. In space, Sally watched Earth curve below her. A pencil floated beside her, and her notebook drifted open. Even there, she was still asking why.
8. Sally carried out experiments and watched the stars. She learned that space was not a place to stop wondering. It was a place to wonder more.
9. After her spaceflight, Sally visited children and talked about science. She did not hand them a single answer. She helped them begin with a question.
10. The children filled their pages with questions of their own. Sally smiled as the room grew bright with ideas.
11. Sally loved science, became an astronaut, and later helped children ask their own questions about space. Her notebook was full, but curiosity still had room for more.
