This was my first book of aerodynamics at the top aeronautics high school in Italy. I was proud to carry and walk around with this book particularly because it had a grand photograph of a plane on the front. It represented my first formal exposure to a field I have loved since I was a young boy. Most importantly, it was my first life lesson of what it will take to follow through to achieve your dreams and ambitions. I lived in a small town and to get to school, I took two trains and a bus which was 5 hours of transportation to and from on a daily basis. This book constitutes the start of my journey, love, passion and personal sacrifices required to achieve your dreams.
