Amelia Earhart

"Hi honey, how was your day at school?" her father asked. "Oh it was wonderful, father. We learned about so many new things going on in the world," said the girl. She went inside for a small snack before dinner. "Hello mother, how was your day?" "Oh it was just fine. I cleaned the floors so they sparkle like diamonds," mother said. "That's great mother, but when you were little what did you want to be?" the girl asked. "Well now, when I was your age, there weren't as many options, so I wished to be just like my mother," said mother. "That's boring," the girl responded. "I want to be a pilot like Amelia Earhart. It would be so fun to fly high in the sky. Well, good day mother."

Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart had a brave heart, and as she flew, she spread it high over everyone's heads. When she became the first woman to fly, her family was more than thrilled. When her fiance died, she carried a heavy heart, until she wrote a poem which let it all free. After the poem, she became the first woman pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean. She also won the Powder Puff Woman's Air Derby.

Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas, on July 24, 1897. During her life, her parents took her everywhere. One minute she was in Kansas, the next in Des Moines, Iowa. Then she entered Ognotz School, in a town near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After Ognotz, she went to visit her sister in Toronto. While she was there, she became a nurse, and helped wounded soldiers in WWII. When the war was finished, her parents begged her to move to California. A short while after she got there, her parents divorced, and then left California.

Amelia Earhart has been a hero to me my whole life. I admire the way she stood up to boys, unlike the other girls, who ran away in fright. In addition, she was very determined to achieve her goals. Whenever she was given a task, she stuck to it until it was done. She was a smart girl, who did well in school, and her family was proud of her. In my opinion, she was the best hero, especially because of how she helped soldiers in WWII. She is my favorite and bravest hero out of all.

Being an individual is my style, and sometimes, I think I get it from her. When she was chosen to fly to Hawaii, she didn't back down, like all the other women. I followed her footsteps; although I wasn't very good at softball, I tried out for the team anyways. In fact, when I learned about her in first grade, I automatically set my goal of becoming a chef. This is still my goal today. She has made a big imprint on my life, and maybe later she will make a bigger one.

"Congratulations class of 2000!" "Honey, we're very proud of you. First you left home, and now college! So darling, you never actually told us what you want to be. So what is it?" the parents asked. "Mom, Dad: I have decided to take after Amelia Earhart, and become a pilot! I am getting my first plane in three months, I have been saving up for it forever!" the young woman said. "That's wonderful darling! Now that you are free woman, lets go out for dinner one last time to celebrate this special occasion."
