19、e to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers.

My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rockete

26、d to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and - best of all - I flew!My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation(航空) to flying

27、 in advanced pilot training simulators(模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself to learning one of the worlds best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilots license. In t

I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally dont involve aviation, Ill always aim to fly with the eagles.28.
