Her journey as an aviator had led to many accomplishments and achievements, including those of which also set world records. Earhart’s daring personality made her known as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and the first to fly over both Atlantic and Pacific. However, it must have been very complicated to do such dangerous expeditions across such large oceans. Of course, she is a person with great intelligence and while piloting, she would never panic. When she knew she had to learn to be an aviator, she gained her skills by learning from the amazing Anita “Neta” Snook, who was also a female aviator. Earhart was clearly dedicated to learning about flying, and she knew that she had to put in one hundred and ten percent. From at the airfield in the morning to the airfield at night, she spent much of her time there in order to develop her skills to be a professional aviator.

In this flight, they had the intention of flying across the world, but little did they know, they would only make through two-thirds of what they anticipated to achieve. In fact, President Franklin D. Roosevelt invested four million dollars into the searches of their missing bodies. Their original plan was to depart Oakland, California and head west towards Hawaii. From that point, they would fly across the Pacific Ocean to Australia, then they would cross India, move into Africa, leave to Florida and come back to California. Then, because of certain difficulties, instead of flying west, they changed it to flying east. When they finally left to begin their journey, they were facing some difficulties with their plane, so they had to land in
