Well, I'm getting back on the saddle tomorrow!

Ten years from my Young Eagles ride in Torrance, California, I'm getting back into the saddle with a stronger resolve to get my pilot's license, come what may.

I spoke to a US Airways pilot recently, who knows about my flight training, and he told me that with instrument ground school (which I am a little discouraged about), to keep plugging away at it. He was very reassuring. He said that it's difficult, but that I'm able to do it, he assured me.

To my pilots at US Airways who have shown so much support for me, thank you, one and all. Tomorrow, I join you in the skies. Though my machine will be significantly smaller, know that I will keep you in mind when I fly. You are where I want to be.

And to all the people in my life who have supported me thus far, tomorrow will officially begin my journey towards becoming a professional pilot. Thanks for your continual support. I will still need your help and support. Thank you so much!!!

Tomorrow, I'll unfurl my haggardly wings and shadow the earth lovingly with them. Tomorrow, I will flex my wings with regained strength, and spread them proudly, with great pride and undeniable power. My wings will fly again, and hopefully, will fly again with independence and visible power.

Tomorrow, I take flight!
