Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: Then Bob had another guy take a photo of us in front of the airplane shaking hands . Then he informed me I needed to bring in my T - shirt tomorrow so they could cut the back out of it per tradition . We filled in my log book , wrapped things up , and I walked out to the car and promptly called dad . Then I called my regular flight instructor , thinking he 'd be excited for me that I 'd left the seemingly vacuous never - never land of unworkable landings , but I barely announced who I was on the phone before he said " congratulations . " He 'd already been told . 
Question: What may be the reason I wanted to call my flight instructor ?
Output (English): I wanted to give him the great news that I was now a pilot .
