The characters in these stories all experienced life-changing events.

Turning points in life are often difficult, challenging,but also makes impacts in people’s life. We can see that in the story ”Hatchet” about Brian who left on the island himself and that was Brian’s turning point. Another example is the story “Dragonwings” about Moonshadow who faced the turning point that his father moving away and the fear of a new country. The last example I will give is the story “Eleven”. The story “Eleven” is about a girl named Rachel, she faced the challenge that she had to clearly tell people what she wants and what she doesn’t want, and to force herself to grow up. These are three of the examples that you will read about in my essay. And to end my introduction, Brian, Moonshadow, and Rachel all faced life-changing experiences that had a direct impact on their lives.

Amelia Earhart is a major figure in American history. She broke many of the gender barriers that existed during the early 20th century, becoming the 16th woman to be issued a pilot's license, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, the first woman to be awarded the National Geographic Society’s gold medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the first woman to fly nonstop from coast to coast.

Amelia Earhart was one of the first pilots to revolutionize the skies, and what made her particularly iconic was the fact that she was one of the first woman to fly. She discovered her love for flight after watching the Royal Flying Corps train in Toronto, Canada whilst she served as a Red Cross nurse in WWI. She then had her first airplane ride in December 1920 in California with WWI pilot Frank Hawks. After this confirmation of her love for aviation, she began lessons with instructor Neta Snook, another early woman pilot. Amelia did all she could (taking odd jobs) in order to pay for her lessons and then her first airplane: a Kinner Airster. She passed her flight test and got her license in December 1921, and afterwards she set out to define herself as a pioneer in the field of aviation, becoming the first woman to fly solo 14,000 feet above sea level. Her biggest accomplishment was flying solo across the Atlantic Ocean, as she was the first woman to do so. She continued to fly for many years, but then on a flight outside of the United States, both she and her plane were lost near the Bermuda Triangle, and no wreckage was

The flights she did to set world records were very risky. One of these flights would be between Honolulu to Oakland Cal. This trip would be 2408 miles and would a solo. In this flight if the fuel ran out she could of had a fate like the one that would fall her in 1937. This flight would be her last flight because she would get lost and disappear.

When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” This was in her letter to her husband, in case the dangerous flight proved to be her last.

A major turning point in my life was Malala Yousafzai. She was shot in the head for daring to get an education, and standing up against this ancient way of thinking. She campaigned that the only reason they feared her attaining an education, was her gaining power. Then it clicked, knowledge is power! Her campaign inspired me to not only push forth and

Amelia Earhart had a lot of challenges in her life, but she accomplished them by being a bold and brave woman. Earhart was young, bright, and full of energy and very curiosity. But she didn't know what she wanted to do with herself (Lauber 26). Until, one day she saw four one-legged men struggling down the sidewalk, and she decided to drop out of school and volunteered as a nurse's aide in the Toronto hospital for veterans (Lauber 27). Even though Earhart loved working as a nurse's aide, she still was undecided about what she wanted to do. After seeing the air show and taking some flying classes, Amelia Earhart was interested in becoming a pilot (Lauber 30).

Many turning points have occurred in my life, but I would say one really sticks out for me. This was when my granddad died in 2010.
