I remember when I had made a record for altitude height I was so proud of my achievement but it was broken soon after so I set out to brake it, unfortunately there was a fog that made it very hard for me to see and I almost crashed my plane I could have died from it if I did crash, the reason why I almost crashed my plane is because I couldn’t tell which way I was going anymore I couldn’t tell if I was going up or down. Throughout my life I had many ideas for what I was going to do when I got older I never really realized I wanted to fly planes until I went to see my first air show with my family. Back then things were a little different for me as a woman than what they are for women now. I decided to buy a plane but it took a while for me to get the money. All though I did get some help from my mom so I was able to buy the plane after I had saved up all the money. In the end though I did have to sell the plane at some point, at least I enjoyed it while I had it. That is what really matters but after a while I was given an opportunity I thought i’d …show more content…

Apparently that didn’t really matter to the press because after the flight I became very popular and was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. I was able to get another plane again and I set out to fly across the Atlantic by myself and soon after that I was already setting new records for altitude and speed in flying a plane. I wanted to set more and more records because I knew it was something I loved even though it’s dangerous i’m sure enough when I made a mistake in trying to break my altitude record and almost ended up in my death, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to set records if it wasn’t for that time it also has caused me to be more careful when doing so. I claimed the title for many things in being an aviator because I flew to many different countries and was the first woman to do

    Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and

    It was just an ordinary day. The sun had just set and we were all sitting around the table eating dinner. My mother and father always asked us about our future and what we were hoping to accomplish. My brother and sister always explained how they wanted to go into the air force and be doctor. Of course I would just sit there and think about how I didn’t know what I wanted to be. But this particular night I had an idea of what I wanted to do! So before my mom and dad could get out of their mouth the question, I said “I know what I want to be!”. They all stared and asked what that might be and I replied, “A famous artist!” I said, “I want my paintings and sketchings to be shown worldwide!”. They told me that, that was all good and well but that there was a lot of steps to achieve this goal and that it wasn’t very realistic. But what they didn’t know was that very line pushed me to prove them wrong.
