When I was in elementary school, my teachers would ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up. The usual answer was a doctor, lawyer, police or firefighter. When I spoke up and said what I wanted my future profession to be was a flight attendant. Their reaction was always the same. They would look at me and ask me where I got that from.

My clammy hands grip the seat tightly turning my knuckles white. My heart beats as if something is trying to frantically pound its way from inside my chest. Frenziedly, I search for my seatbelt. It’s across my lap. Thank god! The relief that the seatbelt gives me is short lived as I hear the plane’s engines shudder under the pressure of flying against the ferocious wind. Fire erupts from one of the wings as it is hit by an enormous bolt of lightning and I feel the plane lurch forward, plummeting…
