The document details one man's lifelong dream of pursuing a career in aviation. It begins with his childhood fascination with airplanes and desire to fly. Though he pursued other careers, he never lost sight of his dream. After graduating as an electronic technician, he enrolled in aeronautical engineering school. He got his first job in aviation as an aircraft electrician but faced setbacks when he lost his job during an economic downturn. Undaunted, he continued his studies and eventually landed an internship in aeronautical engineering.

From beggining until now.

2. How it starts
• It began in childhood in São José dos Campos,
watching airplanes fly, puzzled, imagine how
the world would be up there, then, a dream
was born.

3. Discontinuance of a Dream
• For some time, I believed it was a mere
daydream dreaming and should live my
reality, but my eyes were always facing the
sky.

4. The Rebound

study English and worked.
• Realized that something was missing, and when I
tried the entrance exam enrolled for aeronautical
engineering. Many mocked, due to I am working
in an automotive industry.

5. Goal Achieved
• I got a job as a fitter electrician aircraft, was
the most work within a plane, without even
flew one, and studies have not stopped,
university and English.

6. First Fall
• Already completed the English course, I could go on an
exchange to improve it in Canada, while on vacation
from work and college, happened then, my fly first.
• When I returned I was fired, was part of thousands of
others who were dismissed from the company.

7. Always On
• I started another language course and
concluded, the Spanish also finished college,
but had hard times to follow.

8. The Conquest
• Got an internship in Curitiba and went into effect.
Then working in the field of aeronautical engineering, I
realized that when we do what we like, do not get
tired.
• Began to fly with a certain frequency.

9. The Glider

the flight glider course, it was decided, I would
learn to fly!

reasons, and ideas as master’s degree also glider
pilot who had already been initiated, had to be
postponed.

was much more difficult than I could imagine,
one thing only has not changed. The will to win.

12. Opportunities
• I've had offers to work in other areas, getting
good money for this, but I know that would be
something only for money and the empty on
me if leaving aeronautical area.

I started an internship also , I seek to improve
my knowledge, I am getting prepare for when
the opportunity arises.

14. Conclusion
• Some laugh for I being so focused, but in the past
this has occurred, I believe that no storm lasts
forever but while it does not pass, I learned to
dance in the rain. The day will come that
everyone that supported me, will closely monitor
further episode of incredible rise of the series
