Fly across the hole world. Amelia was almost done she only had about 7,000 miles to be across the hole world. And this is about Amelia’s life, and her dream. ====

In her childhood Amelia moved to Des Monies, Iowa, because her father got a job there. When they were on there way, Amelia had a panic attack because she had never been on a train before. So when she was on the train she had broken a lot of stuff on the train. After she got of the train in Des Monies she learned not to have a panic attack on a train.

When Amelia was about 7 her parents got divorced. But about a week latter her uncle came over and helped her with cutting wood, he had no idea why but, he did it anyway. After her uncle was done she started to build a rollercoaster on a garage about 8 feet high, but after about two days Amelia had it done and when her uncle saw it he told her to take it down right now, and so she did.

On Amelia’s 7th and Amelia's sister's 9th Christmas there father gave them a 2 caliber rifle for Christmas to kill all the mice in the barn. Amelia's Grandmother Thought different she thought that, a rifle was not for a seven and nine year old girls.

When Amelia was about 13, 14 she was not afraid of doing stuff like boys. She played baseball, she climbed trees, and she even like to hunt in the woods at night. Amelia was a very brave girl. She was very active.

Amelia was about 19 or 20 when she was flying across the world she set the record of flying about 45,000 ft up in the air when she started to fly. Amiela was famous for being the first women ever to fly across the world.

In 1932, one year after her flight as a passenger across the Atlantic, she made a transatlantic flight alone from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland to Ireland. It was a hazardous flight due to the fact that her engen wasn't working. She didn't know her altitude how high she was above the ocean, but she arrived safely and was awarded many honors in Europe.

One year, Amelia got dressed in a white evening gown and high-heeled shoes, she took the First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, and some women reporters for a ride in her plane. Mrs. Roosevelt wanted to learn how to fly a plane, but the President said, "No, I don’t want her to get hurt."

In conclusion Amelia is amazing to me. She made me want to fly a plane across the world, but I’m too scared to do it, but people had don’t it and got back safely. But people wish to be like Amelia and some kids want to try it some day. Amelia made people not give up on their dreams, Amelia didn't she followed her dream and made it come true.
