My goal is to fly! I am currently working towards my personal pilot license by taking flying lessons on Saturday and Sundays. I will earn my private license before I graduate. Additionally, I am saving for a small plane with which I can use to obtain the 1000+ hours required to become a large scale commercial pilot. I have already been accepted into the professional pilot program at the University of Central Missouri. Once this program is completed, I will have approximately 300 hours of flight time. The pilot program at UCM is about $80,000, in addition to the approximate $21,000 per year in tuition. If I earn this scholarship I will use it towards the professional pilot program tuition. While in school I plan on working at the airport hanger as a mechanic. I believe the knowledge I will gain there will be vital to my career as a pilot. Understanding the mechanical workings of the different aircrafts will give me a superior understanding of its capabilities. This will also benefit me if I am ever in an emergency situation with a stalled engine or unplanned landing due to mechanical interruption. Once I earn my certified flight instructor license, around my junior year, I will begin teaching other students how to fly. This will help me build upon my skills, allow me to earn money towards tuition, and gain additional flight hours. My father is a service disabled Veteran and I have a lot of respect for his experience. Because of this, I am considering joining the Air Force reserves to both serve my country and help pay for college. I am an extremely focused and dedicated student with a 4.13 weighted GPA. I have taken as many honors classes as were available to me since my freshman year. I am an active member of the National Honors Society and I volunteer my time as a tutor through the A+ program. I am also an athlete running both cross country and track while weightlifting after practice and in my spare time. I made it to state in track for my 4x800 time my freshman year, but have had 2 stress fractures since then hindering my sophomore and junior seasons. Additionally, I am an avid outdoors person. I enjoy activities that I can engage in outdoors such as rock climbing, hiking, and camping. I also enjoy traveling with my friends and family. After college I hope to obtain a professional position as a pilot for a family or corporation that travels frequently. My goal is to fly my employers safely to their destinations and gain the opportunity to travel the world with them. I believe that I am on track to succeed in my goals as I have the dedication and perseverance to make it through a program with a 50% drop out rate. My plans to work at the school’s airport should benefit my learning experience. Together, with the support of my family, my plan should lead to success!

Aircraft simulators protect the lives of the masses! Aircraft simulators allow student pilots the opportunity to prepare for and experience a countless number of catastrophic situations that they may encounter while flying. These dangerous scenarios can be safely played out in a lab where students can learn from and prepare for encountering these situations when they are flying in the real world with people’s lives in their hands. The advanced technology, which is used to create these simulators, can accurately recreate an array of scenarios, anywhere from challenging to deadly, preparing pilots for situations that will help them protect their passengers lives in the future. Pilots have an incredible responsibility to society that many people overlook. Every time a plane takes off, those pilots have their passenger’s lives in their hands and they must be prepared for any number of catastrophic events. Aircraft simulators allow student pilots to safely experience and learn from those deadly situations so they can be prepared to encounter them in the future. Before these simulators were invented, pilots had to fly around and gain experience in dangerous conditions to prepare. Often, these student pilots would never encounter the potentially life threatening circumstances until they were in the air with lives at stake. The incredible technological advancement of aircraft simulators is saving lives every day and they are seemingly overlooked by society. As technology continues to improve, these simulators are becoming more and more advanced in their ability to recreate lifelike environments that pilots will encounter; such as extreme turbulence while navigating mechanical malfunctions. These types of complex challenges, that aircraft simulators produce, prepare pilots to stay calm and react accordingly, and therefore, in doing so, protect the lives of everyone who flies!

I believe that success is exemplified in people who are happy, living life to the fullest, and have the time to appreciate everything they have. Different things make different people happy and therefore, there isn’t one specific indicator for success, it is a subjective and personal preference for each individual. My peers would all likely attribute success to financial independence; however, although money is important for survival, it doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. My family has experienced prosperous times when we had steady income and extremely difficult times when we had to ask family for food. I’ve noticed that when my parents are doing well financially that they are extremely busy and stressed out. This made me realize that having that HARD earned money doesn’t necessarily make them happy because they can’t enjoy their life while working all the time. I think that success requires a balance of financial security and time to be happy and enjoy life. People have to find what makes them happy and balance that with what they have to do in order to be financially secure. If they can find a profession that allows both, then they are ideally positioned for success!
