DREAMS Takeoff by Jason Hallenborg The book begins with the memories his father and a significant advice he got - To achieve success, have a career goal. And his goal becomes one of becoming a commercial pilot.
The book begins by narrating his childhood, the loving involvement of his father, and the helpful stance, he always took. Like the remarkable ways, he was made to "experience flight before choosing it", having expressed his desire to be a commercial pilot. How his dad will become an epitome of creativity, while suggesting novel paths and approaches to achieve his dream. Like making him practice in a cockpit filled with technical equipment similar to that he would have to attend to while flying later. More adventures follow, of cross-country flying, of a private pilot checkride, and of course, followed by a coveted licence.
The struggles to get a multi-engine rating follow, his dad's strong presence felt in all the hurdles that are victoriously passed. Followed by a message he was waiting for - "Congratulations, you’re hired". His father develops health issues needing constant attention.
This is a remarkable read, indeed. Just as we see the dad's unfailing love and support taking his son's ambitions to its fulfillment, we see the son following his dad with utmost dedication, care, and love. It is an engaging book with a wonderful story. A father's attachment, love, and ingenuity reverberate through its pages, making us cherish greatly, his efforts to turn a child's dream into a reality.
