    Have you ever thought of someone who inspired you? In this case, many people have a hero who can make a difference or change many lives. A hero in the real world does not need to hide in a secret hideout or wear a costume. Today, people change the world. People change the world and make a difference like Amelia Earhart.

    Amelia fell in love with airplanes at a young age. She knew that she was meant to fly. So she quickly enrolled into pilot classes. At 6 months of classes she then bought her first airplane.

    Earhart was a pilot to show girls could fly just as good as men. She proved herself right when she beat the record for height. She also flew across the United States of America. She did what men did and made it easier for women to achieve.

    Amelia went through a lot to be where she was. She wanted a plane to fly so she worked as a nurse. With the help of her mother she earned a plane and had her lessons. She did not take long to travel on her own.

    She inspires me because she didn’t care what others thought and reached her goal. Every time I feel like giving up, I think of Amelia and continue working hard. Also, she never sat and listened to comments that could bring her down.
