If you asked 8-year-old Jim Van Allan what he wanted to do when he is older, he would have emphatically said: airline pilot! My father was a commercial airline pilot for a long time, and I always loved air travel. However, fast forward through different life experiences, and I am not an airline pilot! My story begins like many of you- a thought or dream to be or do something, but it doesn\'t always end up like we planned. As our interests and personalities shift, so do our priorities and hopes and dreams. Keep being introspective and find that thread that truly suits YOU.
