Amelia Earhart is famous in history as being the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. When Earhart was growing up, women were just beginning to assert their rights to enter careers generally reserved for men. She actively documented newspaper clippings that highlighted women entering occupations normally male-oriented. Earhart first became interested in flying while attending a stunt-flying exhibition around the age of 20. She said then“ I believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by.” When pilot Frank Hawks, in December 1920, gave her her first ride, she said she knew then that she had to fly.
Then at the age of 6 he took his first airplane ride in a Ford Tri- Motor Airplane. At 15 he worked in various jobs in order to pay for his flying lessons (Neil Armstrong). Before Neil could even drive he had is students pilots licenses. When Neil was done with high school he received a scholarship from the U.S. Navy and then attended aeronautical engineering at Prude University. After his collage career he went straight into the military.

Immigration My Grandma came to America by airplane when she was about 14 years old. Her mother said it was a new chance for them. She said it was a six hour flight from Puerto Rico to New York. It was a small airplane with propellers and had about 20 seats. She got on by herself.
But, overall, I learned how some friends just last a lifetime. Before I could get on a plane a fly over to Europe, I had to go to a monthly meeting with my group. There were only five people in my group so it was pretty easy to make friends. The five of us, Alyssa, Trent, Kaitlyn, Brittany as well as myself, all really got along nicely. It made me comfortable to know that I would know at the very least four people when I traveled to a new place.
She would get mad and cancel your day. My sister could never figure out why she was home, and I was out having fun. When the chores were done it was playing time for me and my motorcycle. Now when my mother brought my motorcycle, she never would take me and get my license. It was like out of sight out of mind.
First, both Cecilia and her grandmother felt disappointment for their lives. Cecilia couldn’t go to the trip to planetarium. Grandma has missed 1 year of high school when she lived in a desert. Also, everyone needs to sacrifice for their own family, such as father giving up only three weekends after Christmas. They need to go to grandma’s house to take care of grandma for long time, so they need to have a break, At last, Cecilia’s dream realized.
Some women “felt they were needed at home to raise families, crops for food and to fill the jobs that the men had vacated in order to serve their country.”(Suite101) Women’s lives on the home front during World War II were a significant part of the war effort for all participants and had a major impact on the outcome of the war. Once the men went off to war and left their jobs, the women that were single had a great advantage because job opportunities were everywhere. In the other hand married women had a tough time, especially if they had children. Hundreds of women worked in machine shops, welding shops, manufacturing plants, and also worked in war industries to make equipment for the war. New industries, naval, and army bases were being built during the home front.
Some of the subjects are easy to understand and concentrate on but some are tougher for me. Since I am transferring from Washburn University as it doesn’t offers any engineering courses in Bachelor level along with the change in academic major that Washburn doesn’t offers, I didn’t see any significance in meeting with my academic advisor at all. I believe I am the one following up my dreams, waking up everyday after the dream of flying boing, staring at the YouTube videos about the aircrafts, and everything. I realized that success and betterment of every individual depends upon the way they plan their academic career. I am transferring to the University of Texas at Austin to study aerospace engineering and I have been accepted there within two days of my application.
