Amelia Earhart's Influences In American History

Improved Essays
In American History I would want to go to year, 1932. There are many influences that enrapture me, among them are; Amelia Earhart, Babe Ruth’s "Called Shot”, and the III Olympic Winter Games. I want to see these three in action because I want to see how it all really went down. I would want to meet Amelia Earhart as soon as possible before she became famous, go watch Babe Ruth’s “Called Shot” at the World Series game in New York, and finally go to the III Olympic Winter Games. Mrs. Earhart is someone that has really inspired me in my life, and I would like to greet her before she become famous so I could become close with her, and cheer her on knowing that she will complete her goals.
