Amelia Mary Earhart: A Personal Narrative Of My Life

Can you guess who I am?I had the same man propose to me two times and both times I said “no”! I built a roller coaster in my backyard with my sister. I have a stamp that is worth 8¢ and it was made on my birthday. If you said “ Amelia Mary Earhart” well then you're correct! I was born in my grandmother's house in Atchison, Kansas, in 1897.
I am one of two girls, me and my sister Muriel. An interesting fact about my childhood is that I loved to play “boyish” games and instead of wearing fancy dresses like most girls, my mother made me and Muriel “playsuits”.

That’s how I became famous and who helped with that.
Let me tell you a little more about myself. I went to 6 different high schools due to me and my family moving around so much. Also, on June 17, 1928 I started flying across the ocean and then 21 hour later I became the first female pilot to fly across the ocean.
Sadly, I died in 1937 during my around the world flight I crashed in the ocean ( or os it is told) and was never found. But in my honor, people have created an award dedicated to me. It is called the Earhart Award and it can be given to Civil Air Patrol's. I hope you can learn something from my life. I have a message for you: It is that girls can do anything that boys can do. They do it the same way and sometimes excel at it more than the
