School: Flowery Branch High School

Grade: 12th

Age: 17

Career Field: Aviation

My mind is set on a career of flying and aeronautics. My desire to fly began when I was very young. My parents fondly recall how attentive I was to aircraft flying overhead even before I could talk. Four factors in my life led to my passion for aviation: early interest in those noisy things flying overhead, my mother who was an Army helicopter pilot, my grandfather who was an Air Force pilot and still a very avid flight instructor, and my very early acquisition of Microsoft’s Flight Simulator series. Aviation is my life and flying is my passion!
