When I was little,5 or 6, I wanted to be a pilot. At the time, I really didn't know what they did, but it must have sounded cool. When I was in middle school, I thought it would be awesome to be an astronaut. I read that most astronauts were usually selected from military test pilots. The more I read and thought about aviation, the more interested I became.
As a junior in high school, I traveled to a magnet technical school every morning so that I could take the only available class relating to my interest in aviation. The class was called "Aviation Maintenance Technology." I learned some airplane maintence, fueling, and directing skills.
I have 14 hours combined in Cessna 150s and Katanas. It is expensive to earn a pilot's liscence, but hopefully I will soon after I graduate from college.
