I have always wanted to learn to fly a plane. After my first skydiving jump I was even more excited about the possibility of learning to fly. Learning to fly, learning to kayak and staying fit will help me maintain a positive, forward thinking attitude at work and keep me feeling mentally, physically and emotionally healthy. They will also challenge me to do more than I think I can do – an attitude that I can convey to my colleagues.
