Have you ever had something that you were absolutely passionate about? Well, ever since I was just a youngster, I have always had a love and passion for airplanes. As a result, when I took my first trip on an airplane, I was really excited about it. To tell you a story, I was going to California when I had the opportunity to talk with the Pilots. I was authorized by them to go into the cockpit and not only look around, but they also let me sit in the Captain’s chair. While I couldn’t believe what was happening my fears all turned into fascinations and I realized how my dreams were turning into real things. As can be seen, I was almost sure that airplanes would take a huge role in my life. Few days later, holding a pen I remember writing down on a piece of paper: “Irvin, the best Pilot in the World". I was 7 years old at the time, and I already knew what my main …show more content…
goal in life was, to be a Pilot. Since then I have spent hours dedicating my time to learn more about airplanes. I would always ask myself how do Pilots do it and how brave they are to hold the lives of hundreds of people and still be relaxed about it. Furthermore, I would read books about airplanes’ instruments and dynamics. From playing flight simulator to watching airplanes at the airport for hours. As well as talking to pilots that might help me understand a Pilot's daily life. Eventually, enjoying what I have learned throughout the years, seemed like the day I would be the happiest man in the World is much closer and even more realistic than it was 10 years ago. However, a lot must be done to become a Pilot.
In fact, I must complete 1,500 hours of flight time to become an Airline Pilot. As a result, this not just takes a huge amount of time, but it also requires a ton of money. But, my parents have always been telling me that nobody should take away your dreams. So, I told myself that these challenges won't stop me from achieving what I want to do or what I want to become at some point in my life. Therefore, these made the Air Force a top choice for me to become an Airline Pilot. I have always wanted to help people by doing what I love, and by joining the Air Force I would make not only my family proud but also the American people. In conclusion, Aviation has been there for me since I was in school. Whenever I thought my education wasn't important enough, it made me have second thoughts about how essential this factor is for me to be successful not only in the career of Aviation but also in life as a whole. With this in mind, eventually, I have seen Aviation as a motivation to always have a positive thinking not only for my education, but in my daily life as
well.
Lindbergh’s passion for mechanics didn’t come as a surprise to many. As a young boy, Charles seemed to be very interested in the family’s motorized vehicles, such as the Saxon Six automobile and Excelsior motorbike. But after starting college in the fall of 1920 as a mechanical engineer, his love for aviation started to bloom. Deciding that the field of aviation was more exciting, he dropped out within 2 years. He then decided to take lessons at the Nebraska Aircraft Corporation’s flying school and was up in the air for the first time on April 9, 1922 when he was in a two seat biplane as a passenger. But his solo flight would not be until May 1923 at the Souther Field in Americus, Georgia, an old flight training field where Lindbergh came to buy a World War I Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” biplane. It only took half an hour to practice with another pilot at the field to decide that Lindbergh was ready to fly the plane himself. After a week of practicing, Lindbergh took off on his biplane on his first solo cross country flight and few weeks after that, achieving his first nighttime flight near Arkansas, both marking huge milestones for the young pilot.
Charles Lindbergh's extraordinary success catapulted the curiosity of millions of Americans about air travel. On the front page of The New York Times, Edwin L. James also wrote: “harbor craft, factories, fire sirens, and radio carry messages of the flier's victory throughout the city-Theaters halt while audiences cheer.” All Americans were awakened with the victorious news and with what it would mean to the world. After this significant day in history, thanks to Charles Lindbergh, nothing will ever be the same in the world of aviation. This man, an “American Idol” forever changed the way people viewed flight, impacted companies, the country, and even the world as a whole with his talent, intelligence, and bravery.
My initial reason to enter the Air Force was a great way to pay for college which turned into a call of duty and a service commitment which has actively allowed me to contribute to the Air Force mission. Thus far I have led a joint force search and rescue effort and a multinational exercise to preserve freedom. As an F-15E instructor WSO and combat mission ready WSO I actively contribute to ensure our freedoms are preserved and the attacks of September 11, 2001 will never happen again.

Given away by my name, I am not an American; I was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam - a dynamic city with over nine million people squeezed into roughly the size of south Bay Area. It was towards the end of my third year of high school that my family immigrated to the U.S. Leaving my hometown behind, at seventeen, I started a new chapter of my life.
As a young boy growing up in northern Michigan I was always obsessed with military aviation. Like many young boys, model aircraft filled my bedroom, everything from P-51 Mustangs and B-17 Flying Fortresses to F-15 Eagles and the beloved F-117 Nighthawk. It was really the latter of these aircraft that has driven my career and life thus far, and it is was the acknowledgement of this aircraft that drove me to love the Air Force.
College Admissions Essay If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there.

I grew up near Atlanta, Georgia where there were no active duty Air Force bases nearby. I also come from a family with no military background and was never encouraged to join the Air Force. I joined because my own personal internal reasons and nothing else. I played on my high school baseball team for four years, and in that time I grew to love the hard work, commitment, team work, and sportsmanship that it took to succeed during the season. In fact, between my junior and senior year of high school, the traits I learned from playing baseball stopped becoming traits and they started becoming my complete persona. I wanted to find a career field...
Flying thousands of feet up in the sky is a dream of many young children, but very few actually end up as a pilot when they grow up. Commercial airline pilots will always be needed, but many people do not even think about choosing this as a career. Pilots have extremely important jobs. They must fly people place to place with no problems while at the controls of thousands of pounds of metal and flammable fuel, not to mention the many passengers. A pilot’s job is very risky, but it is also very rewarding.
Aerospace engineers examine, analyze, design, produce, and occasionally install components that make up aircraft, spacecraft, high-altitude vehicles, and high-altitude delivery systems (missiles). Satisfaction with the romantic image of rocket building can buoy many engineers through the highly anonymous work environments that many of them face. Individuals don't assemble rockets; teams do, dozens of teams working in highly supervised coordination. An aerospace engineer plays some part on one of the teams, spending more of her time (roughly 70 percent) in a lab, at a computer, and assembling reports than doing anything else. Not being able to see the "big picture" frustrates some professionals. The path to becoming an aerospace engineer is a rigorous one, but those who manage to survive the difficult lift-off emerge with an above-average degree of career satisfaction.

Just a few years before I joined the Navy in 2005, our family started taking their first trips by aircraft. Living on the East Coast, we could always drive to a fairly close location that would involve summer family getaways, so passenger airline travel was unnecessary for the larger part of 16 years of my life. In fact, I had never flown on an aircraft at all until the summer of 2003, just a few weeks after completing 10th grade. My first flight was on an Air Tran operated Boeing 737, and I will never forget that experience. I gripped the armrests as if I was controlling the aircraft for most of that leg between Richmond, Virginia and Atlanta, Georgia.
My journey into the Air Force begins in a similar manner to many fighter pilots my age. It all started with a small movie from 1986, “Top Gun”. As a five year old watching fighters streak across the screen, I was hooked. I realized quickly that the Air Force would be the place that I could pursue that dream. However, while I was still in school, our nation was attacked on September 11th and my motivation was completely changed. Going to college in New Jersey just a short train ride from the Twin Towers, I knew many who had lost friends and family in the attacks. No longer was my commissioning and career selection about a self-interested dream. With the clarity of retrospection, I can recognize that the driving element was the desire to serve. While in college, I had the occasion to enter our main campus building where the names of all the students who died in service to the nation are inscribed on the walls. Walking in that hall always filled me wit...
Taking that flight was nothing like the flights I’ve taken before. I had just recently celebrated my fourteenth birthday a week before being told that we were taking a trip. My dad wanted to surprise me for keeping up good grades in school. With my father working in the military and knowing a lot about other countries, I couldn’t have asked for a better gift. Went
