Amelia Earhart was the daughter of Samuel Stanton Earhart and Amelia Otis Earhart. Amelia was named after her two grandmothers (Amelia Josephine Harres and Mary Wells Patton). When Amelia was born adventerous, she spent a lot of time climbing trees and hunting rats, some biographers have said that she was a tomboy.

Amelia and her sister stayed with their grandparents while their parents moved to Des Moines. Amelia read large amounts of books and spent a lot of time in the Family Library.

After having their families finances improved, it became clear that Amelias's father, Edwin had become an alcoholic. In 1914, he was forced to retire. At this same time Amelia's grandmother Amelia Otis died suddenly. In 1915 Amelia's father finally found a job as a clerk at the Great Northern Railway. Amelia then entered Central High School. Amelia's mother then moved the rest of the family to Chicago to live with friends. Amelia then was enrolled in Hyde Park High school. She graduated in 1916.

During the Christmas vacation, Amelia went to visit her sister in Toronto, there she saw the soldiers returning from war with wounds. She then began to work with the Volunteer Aid Detachment at a Military Hospital. Her job was to prepare food for partients with special diets. Amelia said this 'There for the first time I realised what the World War meant. Instead of new uniforms and brass bands, I saw only the result of four years desperate struggle; men without arms and legs, men who were paralyzed and men who were blind.'

In 1918 there in Toronto began the Spanish Flu, After helping up looking after the patients, she eventually became one of them. After recovering her illness often caused painful headaches. For the next year she then spent the year in her sisters house learning to play the Banjo and studying mechanics.

Once, her father took her to a airoplane fair, there she instantly knew that she had to fly. After that, she enrolled in flying lesson's with another female pilot. In july, Amelia bought a Kinner Airoplane, she named it "The Canary".

Amelia Mary Earhart, really deserves to be a groundbreaker because she broke many records and had the courage to be the first woman to fly over the Atlantic ocean. This is a quote I found, the author is unkown 'Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be; because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.' I think this quote really is like a mirror image of Amelia Earhart.
