BREAK THROUGH LIMITATIONS. REDISCOVER WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

I was born in a small village where most people did not speak English and rarely traveled beyond
the community. The world felt small, and the expectations for what life could become were even
smaller.
Growing up as one of six siblings in an environment where opportunities seems limited and
expectations were often small, I often heard words that many people carry with them for a
lifetime.
“You will never succeed.”
For some people, words like that become a life sentence.
For me, they became a challenge.
Everything changed when I was ten years old.
That day, I had the opportunity to fly in a small airplane. As the aircraft lifted off the ground,
something inside me awakened. Looking out the window at the world below, I made a decision
that would shape the course of my life.
One day, I would become a pilot.
At seventeen, I began flying lessons and earned my private pilot license. I later enrolled in
college to pursue my commercial pilot license. But the road forward was not easy. As a
Francophone with very limited English, my progress slowed, and I found myself working as a
clerk in a parts department while continuing to pursue my dream.
