Rachel Carson, a trained biologist and a best-selling author, made science interesting and understandable to regular people. 6. James Polk, the 11th president of the United States, was too sick as a child to get formal schooling, yet managed to graduate at the top of his class from the University of North Carolina. 7. John Adams, America's second president, worked as a teacher and lawyer before dedicating himself to a life of patriotism and politics. 8. John Quincy Adams was the sixth president of the United States and the first son of a former president who himself became president. 9. Amelia Earhart wasn't afraid to break down barriers. In 1928, she was the first woman to fly as a passenger across the Atlantic Ocean. 10. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.
