Years later, I graduated from Western Michigan University majoring in Aviation Flight Science and joined the U.S.\u00a0Navy. After Officer Candidate School graduation, I pursued my dreams of being an airline pilot, and interviewed at Envoy Air, where I acquired a Cadet Instructor position teaching individuals the principles of flight.<\/p>\n
The Cadet Program<\/a> afforded me the chance to experience what so many of my professors had the ability to watch someone grow. I learned that teachers who love teaching, teach individuals to love learning.<\/p>\n My job caused me to gain a new passion in life \u2013 a passion for teaching. I learned that a great teacher\u2019s passion for the subject gets their students curious about the subject material and generates enthusiasm in the classroom.<\/p>\n That affects the students\u2019 performance, and drives their success. As a flight instructor, I loved the opportunity to challenge my students and push them to be the best pilot they can be.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During flight instructing, I observed that student performance is greatly altered by the instructor\u2019s assessment of the student\u2019s ability. If the instructor thinks that the student has the aptitude and skill, the belief will become reality.<\/p>\n A good instructor needs all of these skills. An instructor that knows a lot but has poor communication skills will have a hard time conveying knowledge to their students.<\/p>\n As a flight instructor, I begin by figuring out my student\u2019s hobbies and what he or she enjoys. This allows me to\u00a0tailor the information in ways they will easily understand.<\/p>\nAttitude is Everything<\/h3>\n
