I didn’t know what to do with my life… until I got on a plane

I was lost.

Literally.

I had finished high school, I didn’t like any of my degrees, and I was working part-time in a bar because I didn’t know what to do next.

Every time someone asked me:

“And what are you going to do?”… I felt a knot in my stomach.

I had no answer.

But one day something silly happened.

Flying back from a trip with my friends, I saw a flight attendant talking to a little girl in the aisle.

It wasn’t just the uniform.

It was confidence.
Elegance.
The way she moved, smiled, and carried herself.

I thought,
“I want that.”
But my head automatically told me,
“You’re not good enough for that.”

And I had that struggle for weeks.

Until one night I said to myself:

“What if I am worth it? What if I at least try?”

And I started searching.

I’m in today.


And I can’t explain what it feels like to put on the uniform for the first time.
To practice in a cockpit simulator.
To see yourself reflected in a mirror and think:
“It wasn’t that I didn’t know what to do with my life… it was that I hadn’t found it yet.”
