Flying like a Bird

My proudest accomplishment is being the first African American woman to earn my pilot license and explore the skies.But it was not easy, not at all. I had to learn French to be able to communicate and learn how to fly in France.I missed my family dearly but it was the only way i could accomplish my wild dream to fly as a African American woman.As an African American it was extremenly difficult to be accepted in to a flight school and as a woman it was nearly impossible.In my time woman were not meant to fly,women who flew were known to have no morals or intelligence.In the 1900s,women were not meant to fly.But it was my dream to fly - to fly like a bird.
