Some people have a tendency to try to fulfill their dreams.
Most people have some dream about being able to fly. In april 1983, being 14 years old, I made my first start on the way to my glider license. I guess the fact that we had neighbours where several members of the family were active pilots, flying motorcraft as well as sailplanes, made it a bit easier for me to persuade my parents to allow me to start flying. Today she knows how wrong she was. Everybody getting the oppertunity should experience soaring.
