Introduction

Hello!

        My interest in aviation began when I was just a child. I have always been that person to hear an airplane and stop whatever I am doing to look up and search the sky. My parents took me to almost every airshow at the Selfridge Air Base and one of my major influences was when my uncle, who served as a US Marine, took us to go see Marine One. So here i am, 10+ years later as an aviation flight technology major. When i first started out here, my expected graduation date was 2016. However, I am kind of poor so I am really hoping to be done after this next year and a half. 
        I originally wanted to join the Marines, be like my uncle, but due to the current political standings, I have decided to start looking at some other options, though nothing is set in stone. I suppose if I decide not to enlist, flying cargo would be my next option. I have heard good things about flying for UPS or FEDEX and I think that if my plane were to ever crash, I would be like Tom Hanks. Have a volleyball be my only companion and I would make back and hand deliver that last package. 
        In terms of the guest speakers, I think it would be interesting to see a military pilot and hear about their career and life. Also someone from the cargo industry. I feel like this could help me further decide my career choice.
