I choose Lynn for its small class sizes, guaranteed help from professors and the many opportunities available. I honestly love to stay-in and go to the pool/beach. Every other weekend, I go ice skating and eat out. After graduating, I hope to begin my journey in the aviation industry as a pilot for Caribbean Airlines and work my way up to Emirate. I do also hope I can build/create my own airline.
