Firsts: Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.  Before she was able to do this, however, she was the first female passenger on a Transatlantic flight in 1928.  Earhart didn't argue being only a passenger because she recognized her limitations when it came to the technology being used for the flight.  She did, however, decide that one day she would fly across the Atlantic all by herself.

Earhart became quite famous for being the first female passenger.  Fame is nice and it definitely helped her career but she still wanted the world to recognize her as a topnotch aviator.  The world did just that when she completed the first female solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932.  Although she didn't reach her destination of Paris due to many complications with the weather and mechanical difficulties, she made it to a small village in Northern Ireland.  Earhart won many honors for being the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic.  She flew more solo flights and kept trying new challenges when it came to flying.

Earhart may have disappeared on one of her flights but her spirit still flies high.  Keep accepting new challenges like Amelia Earhart and let you imagination soar.
