Growing up, I was told by friends, family, and teachers that in order to succeed I must be the smartest in my class, smartest I can be. Although this may apply to a a handful of careers, opportunities, or lifestyles; I argue that academics are succumbed by passion and that passion is the driving force which drives people to achieve that unachievable. With This in mind, my passion (outside of hockey) is in the fields of aviation and engineering. I look forward to completing flight school by the end of high school and moving on to a collegiate level to receive a degree in the principles of flight or aeronautical engineering. As I move into my professional career, I will hopefully be flying commercial airliners for the airlines.
