Hi Navya! Thats amazing all of the programs you are a part of! That kind of commitment shows how much you love music and aviation. Good luck on your journey!
Congrats, Navya! I see that you are part of the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program. I am a cadet with Civil Air Patrol in the USA where I too found my passion for aviation and flying. Good Luck and Blue Skies!
Wow! It sounds you have a very busy life now and ahead of you! I think it’s amazing that you manage to do all that at once. I wish you the best of luck!
