Doesn't seem like many since I began my training in 2005, but aviation has taken me on a journey with experiences I never would have lived had I not had the courage to go for it. It's not all been a bed of roses...I was "grounded" between 2012-2016 and those were very difficult years personally...but I always maintained my focus, discipline and being true to myself.

You CAN achieve anything in life.

Safe landings!

P.S. And only this week I got my third ICAO language certification. You're never too old to learn!
Very inspiring post. Thanks for coming back after all these years.
I am in my late 30s and just passed my ME-IFR. Thinking hard about the CPL now because i have almost all the prerequisites. What matters is the journey.
