Weekly words of wisdom

This week’s quote is from famous American Pilot Amelia Earhart.  Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this record. Today there are many theories that exist about what happened to Amelia Earhart. But there is no doubt that the world will always remember Earhart for her courage, vision, and groundbreaking achievements both in aviation and for women.In her last letter to her husband Amelia wrote, “Please know I am quite aware of the hazards,” she said. “I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.”
