READING

When Amelia was a little girl, she liked to imagine she could stretch her wings and fly like a bird. When she was older, she went to an air show. She was fascinated. She got a ride in a plane and liked it so much that she didn’t want to come down.
Amelia learned to fly. After months of practicing, she became the first woman to fly up to 14,000 feet. With a mechanic and a pilot, she was the first woman to fly over the Atlantic Ocean. After many hours they reached land. The world looked small… so small. Even though Amelia wasn’t flying the plane when they landed she became famous. People around the world was inspired by her story.
Amelia thought that every girl deserved to fly so she founded a club with 99 other fearless female pilots and a year later she flew across the Atlantic all by herself.
She wanted a bigger challenge: to fly around the world. A brave navigator went with her. They flew for thousands of miles, over oceans, jungles… and over the savannah. Some people said their journey was crazy. But Amelia wasn’t afraid of living a thousand adventures, so she flew like a bird farther than anyone had gone before and never to return. When she was trying to reach an island in the Pacific, she reported that the gas was running low. Soon after all communications with the plane stopped.
Amelia always followed her own advice: if you want to do something, do it. You never know how far you can get.
