There was a time when I wanted to quit, two days into school, go back home and never look back. The schoolwork was overwhelming and my mind would blow with excessive knowledge. I got my first test grade back, and after that I had no worries. With help from my classmates and my instructors, I pulled myself together and we helped each other get through the challenges together. I've made friends with all the staff at NAA and was glad to have gotten to know them because it all started with Sarah at admissions.
Near the end of school, I've acquired my airframe and passed almost every FAA test, and with only one more FAA certification left to earn. I've become actively helpful in giving my classmates the boost they need to get through the end of the school and in return they helped me whenever I needed it.
At graduation, we, as a class, were all excited to finally come to the end of our very important chapter of our life. During the ceremony, awards were earned and honors were bestowed. We said our goodbyes to every one and went our separate ways. We were appreciative of every instructor we've had.
Getting through the most challenging 14 months of NAA was hilarious and arduous, especially for me. I did my absolute best to have perfect attendance throughout the curriculum. I did not have my own car. I had help from classmates, I rode an Uber and Lyft to get to school on time on a rainy or snowy day. I had an electric bike and now own an electric scooter. Getting to the school was the best and exciting part of owning an electric scooter. It's the fastest I've ever been.
It's hard to believe it's over and unbelievable to say that we made it. Class 1020 - Class of 2022, I will never forget the best and worst moments we had at this school. We made it through the toughest challenges together and I am proud to have been apart of this class. We did what? We did it.
