Hello, I am excited and honored to have the ability to apply for scholarships. I am the first in my family to go to college. I am in school for Aviation Maintenance and was recently inducted into the National Technical Honor Society and asked to give a speech during the ceremony. I am overwhelmed and excited because of the hard work it takes to get this honor. As an aspiring professional in aviation maintenance, I plan to make a positive impact on the world and my community by combining technical expertise, innovation, and a commitment to safety and sustainability. In my community, I plan to share my knowledge by mentoring young people interested in aviation. Encouraging others to explore careers in technical fields can help bridge skill gaps, spark innovation, and create opportunities for underrepresented groups. By promoting STEM education and technical training, I aim to inspire the next generation of aviation professionals. We are the change we want to see. I am currently taking business classes as well so that I can one day branch out on my own and start a business using my skills. Additionally, I want to be part of the movement toward greener aviation. Aircraft maintenance plays a crucial role in reducing carbon footprints by improving fuel efficiency, integrating renewable energy systems, and extending the lifecycle of aviation components. Contributing to innovations in sustainable aviation technology can help address the environmental challenges we face globally. I aim to uphold the highest standards of safety in aviation maintenance. Every inspection, repair, and system upgrade ensures the well-being of passengers and crew, and I take this responsibility seriously. By focusing on precision and attention to detail, I hope to foster trust and reliability within the industry. I appreciate my educators for pushing me to my goals. When I think of my contribution to my community I also think about how it will challenge my own family and friends to do more and to make a change in our community. Even though it is a challenge in itself I aim to work hard to strive and maintain my goals. I have four children the oldest being a 20 yr old young man and starting his own journey into his profession a 16 yr old young man who making a name for himself in the sports world a 10 year old little girl who just completed her first 5K for Girls on the run and a 6yr old who loves math. All are my biggest supporters in all I do they keep me centered and balanced. We go through out ups and downs together to make us stronger as a team.
