My name is Zachary. I was born in Nigeria and raised in Wisconsin, USA after being adopted by an American couple. Growing up, I was always fascinated with planes and dreamed of becoming a pilot.
Many people discouraged my dreams due to my condition. But I never wavered in my determination, and all I was looking for was a chance to prove myself.
I believe you can break any barrier you want to, but you have to have faith and determination to do so.💪🏼
I applied to more than 10 flight schools. They all rejected me, except one - the Spartan College of Aeronautics in Oklahoma, USA, where I went ahead to become a pilot.
There were many challenges and hurdles to cross, including the FAA's SODA test which I passed. And in 2019, I became the first world's first commercial quadruple amputee pilot😲
People discouraged me and told me that I couldn't become a pilot. But I have been a commercial pilot for five years and have now taught over 200 students how to fly.
What's stopping you from achieving your own dreams? What's your excuse?
