"Going into the air academy I came in with one expectation and idea of where I would be when graduation day rolled around. Well I felt differently two weeks into the program. I found a new passion in the the industry. Mrs. Westfall was a great coach she kept you laughing even when your brain hurt. My dream job came to me last week and I had to call her and tell her I got Corporate. I was hired with Carlson Wagonlit. She became my mirror of success. Mrs. Westfall had all the same experiences as the students were going through, she was a former student once. Im now working in my own office, desk, computer, and name plate, the great thing is that I know all the nights of stress of IAA homework was worth it. I really miss my friends at the air academy we still keep in touch via myspace. Everyone is having a great time with their new careers! "
