I think the way in which Ride most exemplified the qualities
of a critical thinker was in her analytical skills and effective communication.
Her college friends described her as being the sort of person who can quickly
think, figure out and crystallize something. Their description of her suggests she
is the kind of person who has the ability to back up her beliefs with logic
which is an important part of critical thinking. Critical thinking requires
communication and literacy skills as well. Ride's majoring in English as well
as Physics in college shows that she does have communication skills. I think
that, most of all, her critical thinking skills were displayed in how she
approached what seems to be her entire life with careful reasoning. She knew
what she wanted and did everything she needed to make it happen for her. Her
story was truly inspirational. It has made me want to take a closer look at
what I need to do in order to make my own dreams possible.
