Well, I finally have a direction for my life. I have picked a college, picked a major, and I feel like I finally know where I am going. I have a dream job to achieve, and a long road ahead of me.
I'm going to become...
A pilot.
There is no greater joy in the world for me than spreading my wings and taking to the open air. I want to see the world and travel around it. I want to meet new and interesting people. Piloting will be a job that I will enjoy. It has many options open for me.
So recently, I was looking through a bunch of universities to find a college that has flight training AND meteorology, which is another fun field that I have always wanted to get into. One of my dream jobs is to join the hurricane hunter team and fly into hurricanes for the National Hurricane Center. I want that option to be open in case I ever decide to apply. After looking through college after college, I found it...
Florida Institute of Technology.
They have a major called "Aviation Meteorology with Flight Training."
O.O
Could I have asked for a more perfect degree? It certifies me as a meteorologist if I wanted to work for the government, and it gives me my FAA liscenses if I wanted to fly a comercial airliner. They also have a scholarship that goes to students who come from "Alphabet Schools" (officially called NCSSSMST schools). LSMSA is obviously one of these.
So there is a university that has my major, recruits from my school, and gives me a scholarship to boot? I'm going.
Taylor Creekbaum is coming with me. We're both going on a road trip together this weekend, just him and I. It promises to be a LOT of fun. Wish us luck.
