Day 4: Amelia Earhart


Amelia Earhart managed to accomplish almost everything she set out to do. From building a roller coaster as a child, to being a nurse, to designing clothes, writing books, and becoming a pilot. She took Eleanor Roosevelt for a flight and had a runway built on a island for her to use. Then there is the ongoing mystery of what happened to Amelia and her navigator.

From kid's books to current biographies I still find myself fascinated by Amelia and the life that she lead. I can't decide how I feel about the recent tests on remains found in the Pacific. While I would love to know that somehow she managed to survive, and carve out a life for herself on some small island. Another part of me would miss the mystery behind her last flight.
