Summary
I Always wanted to go into aircraft maintenance shown by my experience as a aircraft technician but I decided to switch my path and go towards being a pilot after I could not stop thinking about how much I wanted to fly while sitting on the flight deck on long over night shifts at the airport. and now I am close to making my dream a reality.
