As an aviation management student myself, it was my childhood dream to work in the aviation industry someday. Upon my graduation in AISAT’s Senior High School program, which helped pave the way in preparation for my degree, I immediately got hooked with the subjects under the aviation management program. Also, as an outgoing person who dreams of traveling to see the world, it is with utmost certainty that indeed, this program would take me wherever I dream to be. The vast areas for learning provided by this course are the reasons that motivate me to strive to become an even better version of myself.
