Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas on July 24th, 1897. She grew up in an upper middle class household, but struggled with parental and familial issues. When problems grew worse at home, Amelia's mother would send her and her sister to their grandparents' house. When Amelia's father and mother eventually split, she had to move again. Her constantly changing situations as well as her father's leaving created the mentality that made her want to rely on herself and nobody else throughout her life. Earhart grew up to hold multiple jobs while fulfilling her dreams of flying, and living a comfortable lifestyle. She became an incredibly well known individual who positively impacted history by advancing women's rights and the future of aviation.
