It all began on May 30, 2012, when I stepped onto a United Airlines Airbus A320 for the first time. At the time I was only four years old going to Disney World. That day I thought I was going to the happiest place on Earth, but I found my happiest place on Earth on that aircraft. I remember stepping off the airplane and telling my mom that I was going to fly an airplane like that one day. At the time she did not believe me, but I just felt this was the plan God had for me.
