Have you ever heard the expression "wearing many hats?" It’s not about actual hats. Someone who “wears many hats” knows how to do a lot of different things. And when you think of someone who wears many hats, you might think of Sylvia Acevedo. Sylvia Acevedo was born at the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, where her father worked as a member of the U.S. military. When Sylvia was little, her family moved to New Mexico. Though Sylvia’s family didn’t have much money, Sylvia was happy. But then Sylvia’s sister got sick, and her family moved to a new neighborhood. A lot of things were changing all at once, and Sylvia was scared. Sylvia’s mom helped her see that she could channel her nervous energy into learning. But without money, Sylvia didn’t have access to the opportunities that other kids had. It took her a long time to save up even just $5 to get a library card. One day, one of Sylvia’s classmates invited her to a Brownies meeting. Sylvia was excited to see girls like her doing all sorts of activities! Girl Scouts could make crafts, go camping, and learn about whatever they wanted. And Sylvia soon discovered that she wanted to learn about the stars! When Sylvia’s school counselor told her that "girls like her"—meaning Latina girls—didn’t go to college, Sylvia remembered what she had learned in Girl Scouts: She could do anything she set her mind to! And she did. Sylvia graduated college and got a job at NASA, where she helped plan missions to study the planets and the Sun! She even returned to school and became one of the first Hispanic students to earn a graduate degree in engineering from Stanford University. She used her new degree to work at important technology companies like IBM, Apple, and Dell. She even helped launch a new technology start-up. Sylvia was busy! But she never forgot how much she’d learned in Girl Scouts. She gave back by serving on its board and even worked as its CEO for several years. Sylvia wanted to help girls like her who were told they couldn’t follow their dreams. All along the way, Sylvia knew the people who put her down had been wrong. She’d had to try harder than her friends to succeed—but she never let anything stop her. She could wear as many hats as she wanted.
