More quotes by Gladys West

I aspired to do something outside of farm work and I knew that having a good education would be the key.

That motivated me to do well in school so that I could get a scholarship and go to college. I had a great support system and many mentors along the way who kept me motivated.

It’s always refreshing to hear how my work is now being used outside of the government and I am still amazed by the technological advancements navigation has made since the GPS Project began in 1973.
