Chase our dreams. Earhart
had her first flight as a passenger in 1921 where she developed a passion for aviation
. She saved up to pur
chase her plane, which she acquired in 6 months. It was not until 1928 when Earhart had a chance to make a flight that changed her history—the flight across the Atlantic. Only then did she become assured that her efforts were worthwhile.
In conclusion
We learn that Earhart was a determined, courageous, and inspirational woman. She inspired both herself and others to search for a place in a male-dominated field regardless of social setbacks. She strived to lead and succeed where others had failed. Earhart was not afraid to take up the challenge and be a leader and an expert in the field of aviation. This paved a way for many other females aspiring to be aviators and joining traditionally acclaimed “male” careers.
