Cool I'm new to all "THIS"

Hey Dan!

My name is David Runkel and I'm a 21 year old guy living in the San Diego area. I was until last week...on the path to becoming a High School History teacher. I looked at the netflix movies I received in the mail and saw that all 5 of them had to do with aviation in one way or another! That's when it clicked! I WANA FLY!!! So I've called around and found this forum to see if this is the right thing for me.

I have 3 classes left until I have my AA degree in Liberal Arts and Science so I won't be starting till the spring of 2009, but needless to say I still have some questions.

Currently I am having a rough time in my college level math courses, will that be a problem in flight school? Is there a lot of math involved?

How difficult are the fast track courses? What did you find most challenging? The last thing I would want is to drop out and waist 70,000 dollars!

And if you have a family or Girl Friend, how does all the traveling effect your relationships? Is it hard?

OK, that's all I have for now. I'm sure some more stuff will pop-up in the future.

Stay safe up there,

David R-
