Who Is Amelia Earhart?

The leader I chose was Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart was an american aviation pioneer and author. She was born July 24, 1897 and disappeared June 2, 1937. She was homeschooled with her sister by her mother and a governess until Amelia was 12. She attended and graduated from Hyde Park High School in Chicago, Illinois. She went into training from the Red Cross where she volunteered to be a nurse during WW1 in Toronto. Amelia enrolled in a pre-med program of Columbia University. In 1920, Amelia left Columbia University and experiences her first flight with Frank Hawks and was inspired to take flying lessons and learn to fly. In 1921, Amelia completed her flying lessons with Neta Snook, another female pioneer. She purchased her first aircraft.
