Jaheem Richards - Skyborne Airline Academy

I would say that my fall semester/life has been unique because I spent most of it working. I spent my time working at the Martha's Vineyard Airport and the Edgartown Fire Department because my flight school situation was me just playing the waiting game. I felt the best decision for me to make was to work and make money until I heard back from my flight school and received a start date. Once I finished working at the airport I figured I’d take a vacation and take a load off because in early July I was working pretty much seven days a week long shifts so, that's what I did I enjoyed it. I went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and spent three and a half weeks with family and friends and just enjoyed the memories that were creating. That trip lasted from October 12th - to November 10th, so when I came back to the Vineyard I was still working/volunteering at the Edgartown Fire Department, I would work overnight shifts and I'd pick when I wanted to work so I enjoyed that I still had time to myself during the day. I would work out 3-5 times a week in the afternoon and then I’d have enough time to go home make dinner and eat at home then head to work for 6 hours. Being a volunteer firefighter, for the most part, was fun and I was able to learn from different individuals whether it was about work or anything life-related. I’ve been on multiple medical runs, alarm runs, car accidents, and I went to my first structure fire a few days before I left on December 21st. So now I'm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at my brother's house hanging out because my start date to attend Skyborne Airline Academy is February 5th and I can’t wait to start this next chapter of my life.
