A dream by Fatima

A dream by Fatima - February 2024 Scholarship Essay

It has always been my dream to be a pilot and sour the skies. This dream was developed the first time I went on an airplane, as a little girl I was fascinated by the aircraft and how it could fly so high above everything. Ever since that experience, I became determined to become professional pilot. The expanse of the open sky beckoned with its promise of adventure and exploration, capturing my imagination and fueling my dreams.
During my freshman year of high school, I started a journey of discovery of the different pathways that lead towards achieving my dream of becoming a pilot. I started looking into different flight schools and the courses and training I needed to get my piloting certificates. With each piece of knowledge I acquired, my passion for aviation grew stronger, propelling me forward on a quest to transform my childhood dream into a tangible reality.
In my senior year of high school, I started applying to some of the flight schools and I got accepted to Embry-Riddle aeronautical university at Daytona Beach, Florida. I settle on majoring in Aerospace engineering and plan on enrolling into their flight program where I can get my Bachelor's degree and work on getting my piloting certificates.
To me, the allure of flight represents not just a profession, but a profound calling—a calling to transcend earthly confines and embrace the infinite possibilities that await among the clouds.This is why I choose to major in Aerospace engineering.
