So proud

Yes, I am a Grandma who is so pleased with everything all of my Grandchildren have accomplished so far in their lives, whether it is going college to be a baker,  or going to university and being able to find a job in the field of study.  Giving me all of my great grandchildren, or working for a well know insurance company, or attending university hundreds of miles away studying  Honours BSc. Biology.

The granddaughter I am writing about today is my youngest at 16 years of age.  For a number of years she has been a member of a local Air Cadet Squadron and loves every aspect of the military training she is receiving.

Last year she passed an exam, nailed the interview so was awarded a scholarship to attend a six week Summer camp here in Ontario to learn to fly a glider.  Finishing the course with a license to fly a glider.

Recently, she wrote another exam, also an essay and again nailed the interview, this Summer she is off to camp again.   Received a scholarship to obtain her power license which will allow her to fly a plane.   However, this year she will be going to an air force base in Manitoba for seven weeks.   She is so excited her feet are off the ground already.    Needles to say she wants to be a pilot.  Her life plan, is to finish high school,  obtain a university education through the Armed Forces, become a Jet Fighter pilot, and then a commercial airline pilot.   High expectations, no pun intended.

Have a wonderful day.
