As a 13 year old 8th grader my desire is that the
name Ethan will be recognized as a distinguished pilot in the United States Air
Force. How I have been working to accomplish this is through maintaining excellent
grades, making my own choice to take accelerated classes. I have been accepted
to a prestigious private high school. I have a spotless disciplinary record,
impeccable manners and kindness.
My dream began when I was 4 years old on a
flight to the Dutch West Indies. When that pilot let me sit in the cock pit and
put on his Captain’s hat and my own wings the passion began. While living in
St. Maarten I visited the well-known airport weekly. I took pictures of
different airlines landing, I collected small Metal airplanes, I set up
Airports in my room. Today, when I hear a plane overhead, I look up to name the
Aircraft. I visit as many Museums as I can.
Passion takes finances. I know
that to secure my spot in the Air Force Academy I cannot be average. This will
require an above average high school education and a resume to fit my personality
full of hard work, dedication and the “wow” factor.
I have been chosen out of
hundreds of students to participate in an above average Field Trip to the East
Coast which includes a visit to The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum,
Pentagon, White House and 20 other amazing places.
This is my education
journey, this is what I am inviting you to join me in with your donation. My passion for flight is what you can help me achieve, I can not do alone.
As a contributor, you have the right to hold me accountable for my grades. I will update you with status updates, pictures and my personal promise of grades you will be proud of.
Every penny counts, rest assured that if we do not meet our goal, every penny of your donation will still be going to my education. This is a marathon, not a 50 yard dash.
I know that there will be challenges along the way, rest assured, I will meet them head on. I have a passion and I will, with your help (plus mom & dad) and encouragement find a solution to any/every problem.
I understand if you can not donate yourself, however if you could pass this on to your friends & family that is helping in a very real way.
Your Donation will only be used for EDUCATION.
