"To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home."
-anonymous. This quote is my favorite quote of all time. I am applying for this scholarship simply because nothing can bring that feeling of freedom except aviation. But it's a certain freedom, unlike anything else. I hope to prove to you in this essay simply that I would be an amazing candidate for this once in a lifetime opportunity. In my family, there are no pilots. Not my mother, father, or anyone else. This is a major setback for me as an aspiring pilot. My best friend works at the University of Dubuque in the aviation department. He gets all sorts of benefits as far as aviation opportunities go. His dad has free vouchers to give to his family for time in an aircraft. That gives him a greater chance of becoming the pilot he wants to be. With this scholarship I would plan to immediately enroll in an aviation school. I plan to go into a career as a corporate pilot first, then as a commercial pilot. I have mapped my career path from 8th grade on, specifically deciding on classes to take in high school that would benefit a future career as a pilot.

It is in relation to the University of Dubuque Aviation Department. At the end of the school year, everyone who was nominated for the program chooses their courses. This program runs from third to seventh grade. In fifth grade however, a new class is available, Aviation I. In sixth grade Aviation II, and in seventh grade, Aviation III. It is a week long program that focuses on the fundamentals of flying. It starts on a Monday and the classes end on a Thursday. On Friday though, you fly. My total flight distance for all of my flights added up to about 90
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
The following career I have chosen describes who I am, where I want to go, and what I want to accomplish in the near future.
Entitled. I'm not entitled to anything, but I believe I am entitled to this scholarship. I am not going directly into agriculture, I am going to Ferris state university, where I will be in the welding program. I have been in 4-H clubs since i was eight years old along with other sports and afterschool activities. I have been preparing for this since I was a little kid, following my fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers steps and continuing the family farm has been a lifelong dream. My father is a side job welder and full time farmer. Because of my family's low income with farming, I am one hundred percent on my own for college.
I have desired to be in the medical field since my freshman year of school. Like a classic stereotype I wanted to go into the medical field after watching too much television, in particular Grey’s Anatomy. It was not the drama or love affairs that drew me into the profession but the adrenaline on a surgery coming in. The skills which they possessed to save a person’s life, and the relief of the family when the doctor was able to tell them that their loved one was going to be alright. Yes, I do aspire to go into surgery, specializing in either trauma or general. This goal is achievable, but it will take many years in college and medical school then residency. This scholarship, the Anderson Hospital Auxiliary
Pilots are able to get in various size aircrafts, this is depending on the level of the pilot and what they are approved to fly. As you gradually increase in rankings in aviation, you will be able to fly bigger and more powerful aircrafts, they are also able to carry more weight whilst flying. Pilots will have a destination they need to travel to and their goal is to get to that destination. Pilots fly for various reasons, a lot of the time it is for people who are travelling to a different country/state, other times it can be for the transportation of mail or even freight
Getting this scholarship was my jump start to furthering my education and I knew from there that I was going to prove statistics wrong.

I won’t be the black kid who drops out of school, because my education is too important to
My plan B for my career is to be a high school Athletic trainer. My reasoning for wanting to be an Athletic trainer is because it deals with my two favorite things to do; sports and helping other athletes with injuries. As the years go on I would like to advance to be a college Athletic trainer then move up to be a professional sports Athletic trainer.
I need this scholarship to achieve my goals and most importantly to make my family proud. My family did not get this chance that you are giving me so I am not just doing this for me, I am also doing this for them. I already have all the support from all of my family and all of my friends, but that alone is not enough to conquer my dreams, and to prove all the people that have doubted me that they were wrong. I hope that this organization can help me reach my goals, and to most importantly make them become a reality. I want to look back onto my life and know that this scholarship, and college helped me to be the man I will be. I hope you accept me into your college and most importantly giving me this
Aviation has come a long way since the 19th century, from the Wright brothers taking flight with the first powered and controlled gliders, to aircraft that can travel up to supersonic speeds, orbiting satellites and space stations which then were only thought to be science-fiction. Aerospace and aviation has proven to be one of the biggest challenges to advance in the entirety of human existence. There are many factors and characteristics that contributed to this advancement such as the engines of aircraft, forces of flight, aerodynamic forces, wingspans etc. The two most significant aspects however have been; World War 1 and World War 2.

To pursue this career I will need to go to college

In conclusion i find that i would like to go into the job of being a pilot because I feel like I could prosper from the job. I would love to experience the job of flying through the air without a care in the world (other than that of my passengers). I would love to experience the passion of going to new places and learning about different cultures. This is why i would choose to be a pilot.
I would expect a scholarship recipient to use the scholarship money to further enhance their educational experiences, and in turn, bring new, revolutionary ideas to the hospitality industry as a whole. I would use the scholarship money to continue my travels and broaden my horizons to further explore the diverse cultures that the world has to offer. As John Dewey once said, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” The experience gained from my extracurricular travels would most definitely allow me to excel in the hospitality
