Lesson #2
PREFACE Recently Greg Bullough wisely suggested that I purchase Richard Bach's "A Gift of Wings". Although I have always enjoyed and been inspired by Bach's books, I hadn't read this particular one as yet. Now is the perfect time for me to read it. The second essay, "People Who Fly", addressed my fundamental question: "Why do I want to do this?" The most concise and truthful answer my mind and my heart came up with is: "Because I love it." Well, that doesn't at all satisfy my practical, rational self; the self that is always worried about paying the bills; the self that thinks I have to have a logical and defensible argument for everything I do. I have some friends whom I'm positive won't understand. I have not told them about the new, wonderful world I have discovered. I sense that they will try to discourage me, recite statistics, convince me to "come back down to earth". I don't need these people raining on my parade right now. I will tell them eventually, when I'm much stronger and more experienced as a pilot. I have some close friends who are behind me all the way and I am grateful for them. I have the support, encouragement, and understanding of all you fine folks. I have certainty in that I don't have to explain or defend my desire to learn to fly to you. Many of you advised me to take my lessons as close together as possible for maximum benefit and minimal cost. I know that you are correct. However, after the Intro Lesson, I was hooked. There was no going back. I won't be able to wait until I save enough money to take my lessons all in a row. So, until my income increases, I will be pinching and scraping to get that next lesson. I found out last night that my instructor did it the same way. I'm sorry he had to struggle but it does give him a level of understanding of us "financially challenged" students that he might not have had otherwise.
