“I first started thinking about flying back in high school, and now, at 25, seeing that dream come to life has been an incredibly rewarding journey. The support I received from SkyEagle’s incredible team – both the instructors and administrators – made all the difference. Their expertise, encouragement, and dedication ensured I was set up for success every step of the way. Balancing full-time work with flight training required both external guidance and a strong personal commitment to keep going. After all the preparation and training, passing my check ride on the first attempt felt surreal and validated all my hard work. It’s truly a dream come true, and I’m excited for the next chapter in my aviation journey.”

“Becoming a pilot has been my dream since childhood, inspired by my father and driven by the memory of my late brother, who shared this passion. Throughout this journey, my family has been my greatest source of strength. My mom’s unconditional love, my sister’s unwavering support, and their belief in me have been the driving forces behind my determination to never give up. Their encouragement, combined with my passion for aviation, has instilled in me discipline, resilience, and the constant desire to become the best version of myself.

With SkyEagle’s incredible guidance, I turned our shared dream into reality by passing my checkride on the first attempt. My family is my motivation, my success, and the reason I soar.”

“In the summer of 2024, I realized I wanted to pursue a career as a pilot. I started by completing a Part 61 online ground course, earning my graduation certificate, and passing the PAR exam.

In October, I moved to Florida to begin my flight training journey. I visited six different flight schools of varying sizes, but the moment I walked out of SkyEagle, I knew it was the one for me. The atmosphere stood out – everyone there seemed genuinely excited and passionate about being part of the aviation world.

I signed up, met my instructor, and we started flying! Before I knew it, I was completing my first solo flight in the pattern, then flying cross-country across Florida and back, and even flying at night. Finally, on January 18th, I took my checkride. It all happened so quickly.

The checkride was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. However, once we got through the ground portion and started the first maneuvers, I realized it was just another flight. Even so, waiting for the final verdict once we landed was suspenseful. When I heard I had passed, the mix of relief, pride, and happiness was unforgettable.

I know there’s still a long way to go, but knowing that I can do it fills me with excitement and determination to keep flying.”
