"Although what lies ahead
may appear daunting to others.
To me, it is perceived with willingness
and anticipation
- for I am guided, from within."
My journey is fueled by My One Wish for Aviation.
I am not quitting no matter the obstacles, and your continued support and encouragement is appreciated.
"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song"

Strength. Courage. Determination.
History provides examples of people willing to experience pain to do the right thing for the better of the world. African Americans, women, those with disabilities, and gay people have all benefited from those who have come before, and were not afraid to take a stand to do the right thing, for the right reason. Employment has been impacted where people fought for work rules, safety in the workplace, and fairness in hiring practices.
Human rights enabled all people to be treated equally, vote, drive, fly, and be able to function in the workplace without a preconceived notion they were the wrong sex, too fat, too old, or worked from a wheelchair. This was achieved through pain that someone received while fighting for what is right.

I just finished my first two years of doctoral course work, and I am
awaiting the results of the qualifying exam. If I don't pass, I will
take the test again. Perseverance is a key to success. And I will not
give up because I have passion for what I am doing. And the future of
aviation safety depends upon it.
My training background and flying experience, understanding, education, and perception of where we are now and where we are going in the future of NextGen, and the knowledge of how important safety culture is to support SMS (safety management systems), has provided me strength to do the right thing, for the right reasons. Warnings of what could happen if I pointed out problems in the industry that impact safety will not stop me. I will hold strong no matter what the headwinds, because the safety of my fellow crew members, flight attendants, and passengers alike are what is important. As it should be.

Together we can make a difference!
One of my professors gave me her song: Fight Song to listen to each morning to provide strength on this journey to safety. There are multiple versions out there. The one I like best is the one she sent, but I did not post it due to a couple seconds on each end of the video that had a political alignment. This song is not about politics, this is about taking control of your life and having a little fight left to take back your life. So the second best rendition is the New Years Eve version.
"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song"
Enjoy the Journey!

Good job Karlene! Hope your test turns out well, though I'm sure you did great. The Foght Song is right on - "I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion." So true that even one small action can lead to a huge change! We all have one voice, and sometimes, that's all it takes. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Josh! :) Yes, you are one to make small actions turn into big change. An inspiration to all. It's not easy, but that's how we create change.

ReplyDeleteJDM, Thank you! I think we never really know our strength until we face those times. Perhaps they are there to make us stronger, or show us what we are made of. But strength always comes from the support of others! Thank you!!
