I was eight years old the first time I flew on an airplane. I was completely fascinated by the flight attendants - then called "stewardesses". They were so graceful, so poised. And everyone seemed mesmerized by their charm. As I got off the plane I remember proudly proclaiming to my mom, "I want to be a stewardess when I grow up!" My mom turned to me gently and whispered, "You could definitely be a stewardess honey, but you know you could also fly the plane."

yep. well said.
