As my bio says, I have been interested in pursuing aviation ever since I was very young. I still remember the first time I stepped on a Southwest B737 and sat in my seat in awe; immediately realizing that this would be the love of my life. Even now I still act in the same way every time I fly between my parents' houses. It may sound cliche, but I truly can not imagine pursuing anything else. I have pivoted my life to setting myself up for success in this field. The driving factor in all of my success in my academic studies has been the idea that I can continue pursuing aviation after high school. additionally, my love for aviation extends beyond the cockpit. I build FPV RC planes and self-studied to get my part 107 commercial drone license. I also self-studied for my private pilot written exam and received a 95 to make myself a better applicant for the AFJROTC Flight Academy. My experiences pursuing my private pilot certificate at the Flight Academy reassured my belief that the cockpit would be the best office for me. I am thrilled to get a broader understanding of aviation through a flight training college degree as opposed to just learning what is necessary through a normal flight school. Additionally, I have two options regarding what I want to do with my aviation degree and all of my advanced flight certificates. The first would be to follow in the footsteps of my parents and pursue a commission in the United States Air Force through the ROTC scholarship I was fortunate enough to receive. I would aim to certainly become a military aviator. A degree in aviation and the training I will receive in college would give me an immense edge in the Air Force's Undergraduate Pilot Training. If I do not receive a pilot slot through AFROTC, I would first serve my commitment to the Air Force and then use my ratings to flight instruct until I could soar the skies in an airliner. As you can see, one way or another, I will ensure that aviation and flight will be a part of my life no matter what happens. Finally, a large part of my involvement in the community comes from my experience in AFJROTC. I have 40+ service hours doing numerous events to help our district and those in need. As a member of the AFJROTC senior staff, I have been in charge of running both a food and clothing donation drive. I also have participated in flag retirement ceremonies and color guards for local baseball games like the Dayton Dragons. Additionally, I participate in corps-wide service events like volunteering for the annual Air Force marathon right here in Dayton, Ohio. Apart from AFJROTC, I also participate in the community through the National Honor Society. Every week I tutor first graders at our district's elementary school in core subjects like math, reading, and writing. During the summers, whenever I am at my mom's house in California, I also like to make sure I am out in the community. Every year since I was a sophomore I have been a volunteer assistant coach for the Vacaville U10 Fast Pitch Softball team.
