Call to Action!
Your positivity inspires me. I will continue my work with GWW. I am blown
away by the gracious messages from everyone. I even got a local pilot
offering to serve as a mentor. On that note, I want to encourage all pilots
out there to offer your time to other student pilots. I would love to see my
fellow scholarship applicants receive the same moral and professional support
offered to me. Every applicant deserves a mentor. Having a guide will be the
most valuable aid for a new pilot. Future mentors and mentees, please post
your progress and geographical location on the message board and connect
with one another. Let’s support each other! Let’s set a goal to match up five
student pilots with mentors by spring time. See my GWW message board
post.

Girls With Wings, thank you for awarding me the
2009 scholarship! I am very grateful and
humbled. Wow, what a dynamic group of
applicants we had this year! I am very impressed
and heartened to see so many strong women out
there on the same road (or runway in our case)
as I am. I wish my fellow applicants good luck in
love to fly, and you will find the money one way or
another. An old woman once told me that “If it’s a
problem that money can solve, then it’s not a real
love to fly, and you will find the money one way or
problem at all.”
N52139 was the plane I used on my first lesson and by chance was the plane for my first solo. This is me very proud after I survived my first SOLO!

Listen for My Radio Calls:
2010 will be an exciting year! Beginning
with the launch of Penelope’s Page, Girls
With Wing’s youth newsletter. (Link to
Penelope’s Page) Look for my articles in
the January issue. I am looking forward
to sharing my training over the next
months with everyone here, which I’ll be
posting in the Scholarship Journal
message board.
