Amelia Earhart

by Anna from New Zealand

Amelia was the first to fly over the Atlantic Ocean alone.

Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 on the 24th of July. She was born in America. Her family was 'well to do', that means 'rich'.

Before Amelia flew, she had to make sure she properly knew how to fly a plane. The 24 year old pilot received her flying licence on December 15th in 1921 so she could fly over the Atlantic Ocean. Amelia Earhart was the first to fly over the Atlantic Ocean alone on May the 20th in 1932. She lived in America.

I think my hero did this because she had the virtue of bravery. I chose my hero because I liked the sound of her and because she used the virtue of bravery.
