When Amelia Earhart was 10 she saw her first plane but it wasn’t until she was about 20 that she got interested in flying, at a stunt flying exhibition. She took her first flying lesson when she was 24 and that changed her for good cause six months later she bought her first plane a yellow Second-Hand Kiner Airster. Her greatest accomplishments were being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic and being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic solo. I think that Amelia most exemplifies the part of the creed that mentions overcoming adversity. The reason why she is an example of this part of the creed is because she was told so many times what a woman can and can’t do and she still chose to follow her dreams.
On December 28, 1920 Amelia and her father visited Frank Hawks who gave her a ride on his plane. “By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground I knew I had to fly” Quoted Earhart. Amelia had her first flying lessons beginning on January 3, 1921, at Kiner Field. Six months after that Amelia bought her first plane, a Kiner Airster, in which she broke her first record of rising to an altitude of 14’000 feet. Then April of 1928, Amelia got a phone call “how would you like to fly the Atlantic.” She promptly replied yes.
I think that Amelia’s flight across the Atlantic solo and her first flight across the Atlantic were her greatest accomplishments. Accompanied by Wilmer Stultz and co-pilot Louis Gordon Amelia took her first flight across the Atlantic and on June 11, 1928 landed in Wales, United Kingdom. In Amelia’s solo flight across the Atlantic she experienced many hardships although she eventually landed in a pasture in Northern Ireland. I think that these are Amelia’s greatest accomplishments because she wouldn’t let herself be told she couldn’t.

1-I like the specific event that demonstrates the creed and how she implemented it into her life.
2-You could improve your grammar, punctuation, not capitalizing lower-case letter, and spelling. In addition, split your paragraphs up more so they make sense.
3-I didn't know that she landed in an pasture after flying over the Atlantic.
I like where you explain about the airplane she got. you could work on sentence fluency because i got confused. i learned when she got interested in flying.
Good job, I don't see how you wrote this paper if you missed so much school, I'm impressed. You did a good job in length of the essay. You could have gone deeper in to detail! I didn't know that she was the first women to fly over the Atlantic, but yet again I didn't know anything about her...
This is good Though I think if you had been here the day we reachered it would of been a lot better, but it's OK. I liked how you added your own thoughts and oppinion! One thing that I would say is not to use "I think" ((:
