Amelia Earhart: A Role Model For Children

Improved Essays
Amelia Earhart, the great female pilot of her time, is a great role model for children of today. She taught that women can do what they want if they believed in themselves. She showed courage and bravery by piloting aircrafts in the 1920s-1930s. Earhart had a strong passion for flying.

In conclusion, Amelia Earhart is a person who should be remembered for a long time because the mystery is not solved and because children today can look up to her. She showed society that women can do anything they put their minds to. She proved that women do not have to always follow rules made by the environment they live in. Amelia Earhart is absolutely the person that changed the history of the
