We bumped into Jessica Cox, the world's first licensed armless pilot. We were on the same table as her, so
we took some time to talk with her. We told her about the interviews and the sandstorm. Then, she said,
“Well, you guys can come with me to Perth. I’m going as well because I need to renew my Airline
Transport Pilot Licence there.” After I heard that, I was so thankful, and it was such a coincidence that we
saw Jessica Cox at Port Augusta.
After eating, Jessica let us into her private jet. When I stepped into the plane, what catches my eyes are the
soft velvet couches, the marble tables, the shimmering bright lights, and most of all, the cockpit. It wasn't an
ordinary cockpit; it didn’t really look different to the passenger area. The jet looked small from the outside,
but it was huge in the inside. Jessica and her co-pilot, Arthur started up the engine, and we started to go
down the runway. Soon, after that, I fell asleep on the soft velvet couch. A few hours later, we arrived at
Perth Airport, and we couldn't have thanked Jessica enough for the flight. Straight away, we left for our job
interviews. The voice keeps coming back into my head! It’s saying that I won’t get the job! The voice keeps
annoying me! Let me just ignore it.
In the end, Rob Mills accepted all four of us to work for his company. Throughout this journey, I learnt
how to cooperate with people, and that everything is going to be okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s
not going to be the end. If negative thoughts come to you, just block them out and ignore them. Everyone
needs to try new things, all the time. And never, give up on your dreams.
