Before each flight, it is customary to perform a routine check of the plane. You must peruse over every inch of the plane and check carefully for cracks, chips, and abnormalities.  I had just about completed my examination when I passed by the propeller spinner and caught a reflection of myself. At first, I danced around and laughed at the fun house mirror effect the shinny surface was projecting of my body, but then I realized this would be a neat picture.  This picture was taken a week before my pilots exam.  The test time rolled closer and I decided to look back at these pictures. As soon as I saw it, I realized its message. If I was going to be a pilot I must in vision myself in the plane. This picture is the most literal translation of my dream. I can actually see myself in the plane. Oddly, this image flashed through my head as I was about to take my check ride, it gave me a much needed sense of confidence.
