Project Description
Sudip completed his first solo flight towards completion of his private pilot’s license.
Content: The top 3 things I learned from this showcase were:
- Things are easier than you think when you are confident in your abilities.
- How to safely land an airplane.
- My fears about landing were overcome once I completed my first flight.
Culture: This project relates or connects to my family, background, peers, community or my own personal interests in these ways:
When I lived in Nepal transportation was very difficult and sometimes people died waiting for a way to the hospital. I thought if I learned to fly, I would be able to help people that because of poverty, struggle to get access to help.
Metacognition: In reflection, one thing that I would have done differently during my journey with this showcase is:
On my next flight I will try to enjoy myself more rather than being so focused on the process of flying and landing.
Social/Emotional: One thing I am most proud of by completing this showcase is:
Despite my age, I have flown a real airplane all by myself.
