About Amelia Earhart
She lived a life of perseverance. Born on the 24th of July in 1897, Amelia Earhart had a nomadic childhood attending six different high schools but proceeded to graduate with her class.
Feeling a calling greater than herself, she dropped out of college to become a nurse, caring for those sick with the Spanish flu.
Her selflessness led to near fatal pneumonia and a year of agonizing surgeries. She eventually beat the illness, but her lungs never fully recovered.
Amelia's calling took flight in 1920 when she flew as a passenger for 11 minutes. Setting her sights on flight, she had found her passion. âAs soon as we left the ground, I knew I myself had to fly.â
Not one to be deterred in a culture where women were expected to be quiet and polite, she took her first flying lesson in 1921. Scraping together savings and borrowed funds from her mother, she bought her own plane, The Canary.
Steadfast, despite family financial troubles that forced her to sell her plane, she continued to pursue her dream of flying.
Close calls and near death experiences did not deter.
In 1928, she flew across the Atlantic as a co-pilot. The trip made her a national hero, earning her a meeting with President Calvin Coolidge at the White House and became an instant role model for American women.
In 1932, Amelia flew a solo transatlantic flight, an achievement that earned her the American Distinguished Flying Cross by Congress. The first woman to receive the award.
Amelia set over 10 records, including first person to fly from Hawaii to the mainland and first woman to fly solo and nonstop across the United States.
Amelia's dreams continued to soar. In 1937, she began planning a solo flight across the globe. It took two attempts before she successfully started on her goal to be the first woman to fly around the world. But when she finally did, she vanished.
After 2 years of searching with no results, on January 5th 1939, Amelia was pronounced legally dead.
What happened to Amelia is, to this day, a mystery.
She is an iconic figure who inspires each generation of women to look beyond their limitations and dream the impossible.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible.
And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
