Life & Career Milestones
I've taken a lot of twists and turns
1.
Since my childhood, my dream was to be a flight captain (pilot).
2.
In middle school, I received training in construction.
3.
I graduated from middle school in business and I was trained to be a constructor. Very STRANGE situation.
4.
My early years in high school were really bad. Almost failed. But my senior year was exceptional. I am the only candidate admitted to the final exam. Another STRANGE situation.
5.
I started working at the Airline company at the age of 20 and was enrolled at the University. Did this for 3 years and had to stop for a few years to focus on my job.
6.
In 1998, I started my bachelor degree. I graduated in 2000 and I was the major of the Class.
7.
20 years after my dream it didn't come true yet. I went to a Pilot school but never been a Pilot. Choose to go to my own. Created my first company in training and business center. A huge reconversion.
8.
2009, moved to the USA to find a new opportunity. To become a Pilot of my own business. I currently own a Landscaping and Construction Company. I live with my 1 wife and 4 kids. We are very happy.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Friends:
You'll never reach to your dream if yo do not have enough money for that.
How I responded:
I tell you this: if you have a dream, that is a good start. Some day, your dream will come true (a reality).
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
This is a serious problem after high school degree. Finding a job is not an easy task. But, if you trust yourself, believe in God and your value, you'll always find the right fit for you. Since 2002, I worked by my own and it's more beneficial.
