My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
First college semester-flying
2.
Took a break following semester due to financial issues.
3.
Two-month summer internship in St Louis, Missouri, with GoJet Airlines.
4.
The second month of internship, I found out that I couldn't continue college due to financial issues. I applied to a full-time internship in Missouri, ran into a potential roommate, and found housing.
5.
One week before the end of my internship, I was awarded a year-long crew record position internship at 19 years old.
