Counting down the days...

Senior ball is Friday and graduation is right around the corner. Every time I think of that I get a knot in my throat. I always thought I would be very excited about this day, but I am so scared! I am going to miss my friends terribly and college-life. Although I am sad that I have to graduate, I am very happy I already have my job lined up, not many of my classmates can say that!

Good News!

Thursday, I completed my training required by the flight school to be standardized an able to take on students. I should be expecting to get students within the next few weeks. I am very nervous though, this will be the first time the knowledge I hold will significantly affect someone else. I know I am capable of doing a good job I will just have to see it for myself until I am confident.
School is almost over and graduation is approaching. Soon my entire life will be revolving around my students and the flight training center. Welcome to the real world Amanda.

Whoops!

I had this post typed but it was somehow saved as a draft and I didn't notice until today :-(

The Grand Opening was such a success. Many people came to visit and see the training facilities. There were a lot of companies there, such as, Cape Air, Maine Aviation, and New England Helicopter Academy. The Coast Guard was also there which was very exciting. They hold a lot of opportunities for the students they recruit. There were a lot of large aircraft there and the interesting part of the entire day was that all the aircraft's there were flown in by BSC alumni. There was also the ribbon cutting ceremony which had speeches from a couple well known political figures: Dana Mohler-Faria, Barney Frank, and Scott Lang. I must be honest though, it was quite boring!! But once the ceremony was over all the Flight Instructors scrambled to get out planes out and take the Board of Trustees out for flights. Overall the day was a lot of fun. I hope we get the chance to hold an event like this again.

Grand Opening!

The BSC Aviation Training Center is holding its Grand Opening this Thursday (even though we have been operating since January). There will bean Open House open to the public, an expo, as well as an invite only Presidential Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Many companies that have a flight center will be present with their aircraft's and willing to answer questions. This is very exciting and if anyone is interested in attending feel free to contact me at my email address available on Bb.
I will be working around the center with either parking, aircraft parking, or just keeping an eye out on the grounds. I am excited to see the turnout and network with the companies for the possibility of a future employment opportunity.
