''What utter nonsense Jane!

woman flyingplanes!

Impossible''

Jane's teacher almostthrew her composition

note book at her.

Jane was a student in the third standard in a

small village in the U.S. And she had been asked to write

about her ambition in life.

Jane hadalways wanted to

become a crop dusting pilot

like her father.

She wanted to do parachute jumping

cloud seeding to get rains,

fire fighting and air-lifting sick people

and she had written about it.

But her teacher thoroughly

disapproved of allthese jobs.

Jane showed her composition to her

dad, silently pointing out the teacher's

remarks.

Mr. Harper said, ''Oh, don't you know about

Amelia Erhart, a woman who flies?

don't give upyour dream.

You can become a pilot if you try hard''.

As Jane grew ,whenever she told about herambition, she was

laughed at.

When she’s in VIII standard, her teacher Mrs. Slaton wanted the students to

write about their future plans.

Jane thought that at leastshe could be a waitress

and wrote it down.

Jane thought that at leastshe could be a waitress

and wrote it down.

Two weeks later, the teacher returned the

composition and said,

''If you had unlimitedtalents and abilities, had unlimited money, would

you choose the same career?''

Not a single handwent up'‘

''Class, you have unlimitedpotentials. You can

achieve your goals if youwork hard.

Go for it''.

Jane was inspired by her remark and decided

to pursue her ambition.

She took flying lessons.She worked hard and at

last in 1978, she becameone of the first three female pilot trainees.

Eventually she became the Captain of Boeing 737

and enjoyed it.

She could realise her dream because she

worked hard.''

''Yes, any human can do all that I have done and more.

So never let your genderprevent you from pursuing

your lofty dreams, she says.

You have to have a dream, and work hard to fulfill the

dream.
