Flying High

Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization. His message for kids: “The only thing     1    separates you from scientists is determination, hard work and a strong liking for what you want to achieve.” The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.

The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents' bookstore. One customer, a professional pilot, asked Irving     2     he'd thought about becoming a pilot.

“I told him I didn't think I was smart enough; but the next day he took me to the cockpit of the commercial airplane he flew, and then I     3    (hook).”

    4     (follow) his dream, Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida. He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator(模拟) video game. Then another dream took hold: flying alone around the world. He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship     5    convincing companies to donate aircraft components. He took off with no weather radar, no deo-icing system, and just $30 in his pocket. “I like to do things people say I can't do.”

After 97 days, 26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms, he touched down to     6     cheering crowd in Miami. “It was seeing so many young people watching and listening     7     pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation,     8    (mean)to increase the number of youth in aviation and science-related careers.

Kids attend program dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator challenges.

“We want to create chances for students     9     they can accomplish something amazing,” he notes. Perhaps Irving's     10    (powerful) educational tool is the example his own life provides. After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23, he said.

“Everyone told me I was too young, that I didn't have enough experience, strength, or knowledge. They told me it would take forever and I'd never come home. Well, guess what?”
