Clara S., one of our outstanding students here at CCPS, is currently taking flying lessons with GoFly Aviation. Clara has always had a passion for aviation and is working hard towards achieving her dream of becoming a pilot.
Clara’s dedication and enthusiasm for flying are truly inspiring. She has embarked on this incredible journey with GoFly Aviation with the goal of flying solo in the near future. It’s amazing to witness Clara’s determination as she pursues her dreams in the skies.
As Clara sets her sights on the horizon, she has a clear vision for her future career path. Her ultimate goal is to become a commercial pilot, flying planes internationally. With her unwavering commitment and drive, we have no doubt that Clara will soar to great heights in her aviation career.
We encourage everyone in our school community to join us in supporting Clara on her flying journey. Let’s cheer her on as she takes each step towards reaching her goals and fulfilling her dreams.
Clara, we are incredibly proud of you and all that you have accomplished so far. Your passion, dedication, and determination serve as an inspiration to us all.
