I am Sara James graduate in Electrical Electronic Engineering Technology from Auchi Polytechnic, since childhood, i have always wanted to fly an aircraft, but at some point i was discouraged to further the dream given the huge financial involvement.
 
"I love aviation, and it all started from my nursery school when I was asked to act as a pilot in one of our presentations. That day, I was given a very big cardigan with belt to demonstrate one who is about to fly, and Each time I walked to school and saw a helicopter landing at the then Mobil Airstrip, I always said to myself, I must fly this. 
 
"Though some people actually discouraged me because I am a woman, giving the impression that it is a job for men only. I never gave up. After my HND programme in 2020, I applied to the CUNY York College, New York, NY and it took the school three years to call us for evaluation exams, but thank God that I made it.
