It could have a social impact since her stories of diversity and adversity provide a unique life perspective that is timelessly relevant. Her life while pursuing her "impossible dream" is filled with triumph and tragedy.

Science and history are your seat belt. Explore the major influences on Torres as a child: the dawn of the space age; the JFK dedication to country; civil rights movements; family vacations; witness historical events; and more. Imagine a crazy flying Japanese monster inspiring a four-year-old! Like Don Quixote, she battled many a monster who created pitfalls in her path but she pulled herself together to continue her quest.
