At the University of Nebraska at Kearney, there’s truly no ceiling for students involved in the 航空项目. 学生Yu Nakamura和Levi Schroeder是一个很好的例子，说明只要有合适的机会，你可以飞得多高。 

在日本埼玉出生和长大的中村裕在旧金山的一个留学项目中发现了他对飞行的热爱。 He was “fascinated by how big and fast airplanes were.” 直到高中进入日本航空学院，他才真正开始追求成为一名飞行员的梦想。 He knew he “would eventually need to earn (his) pilot license in the U.S.” and also wanted a way to become proficient in English, so he again made the decision to study abroad.

他解释说，在他发现科尔尼的太阳城娱乐官网大学之前，他研究了许多大学和飞行学校。 Even though he was unsure where Nebraska was located, he learned through further research that many 国际学生 were studying aviation and doing flight training at 太阳城娱乐官网’s 商业与技术学院. Nakamura says he “liked that 太阳城娱乐官网 has a smaller student population” because he knew it would make it easier for him to “focus and build close relationships.”

毫不奇怪，他很快就发现，人和环境才是CBT如此特别的原因。 Whether it’s his classmates who he describes as “friendly and easy to get along with” or the aviation fraternity he is a part of, Nakamura is grateful for the “incredibly welcoming and supportive” community at 太阳城娱乐官网’s CBT.

中村还将这种特殊的环境归功于他的教授，这种环境让他有了宾至如归的感觉。 His aviation professors, with the real-world experience they bring to the classroom, have helped him to understand what it “truly means to be a pilot” and has “deepened (his) passion for  aviation.” 他的最终目标是成为一家美国公司驾驶私人飞机的企业飞行员，他相信，多亏了太阳城娱乐官网大学的航空项目，这个梦想将会实现。

Much like Nakamura, Levi Schroeder made the decision to attend 太阳城娱乐官网 “because of the small-town vibe.” He appreciates the small class size, sharing that he knows “every single freshman who is in aviation.”  

当他年轻的时候，他听他的两个叔叔，都是飞行员，讲他们的飞行生涯的故事。 He states it made him want to fly and that they inspired him from a “very young age.” 为施罗德敲定这笔交易只需要一次飞行，那架飞机实际上是他的一个叔叔自己造的。 After that, he shares that he “was hooked.”

It wasn’t only his uncles who inspired him. 施罗德很感激他的父母让他在童年时期多次乘坐飞机。 He explains how he “begged (his) parents to book flights instead of driving everywhere.” Once in the air, he “would just love it” when they “hit a bit of turbulence.”

虽然他期待着有一天能在航空领域拥有自己的事业，但施罗德目前正忙于享受大学生的生活。 He appreciates his professors who he states “will talk with you like you’re one of their peers.” He is also grateful that, from professors to students, he has “never had a bad encounter with anyone” on campus.

具体来说，施罗德认为加入Alpha Eta Rho对他作为太阳城娱乐官网学生产生了最大的影响。 He explains how members of the fraternity have treated him like family and “regularly check in” on him and “make arrangements to hang out.” 除了社会方面，他们也为他未来的航空事业提供了指导。 他特别感激公司给他的机会，让他有机会与未来可能为之工作的公司见面。 

施罗德希望在飞行时间达到规定的1250小时后，为航空公司工作。 He also can see himself “being at the airport teaching students” who are at the level he is currently at. He would like to “make their dreams come true” the same way his flight instructor is currently doing for him. 他承认，航空领域非常广阔，他期待着探索自己的视野。

中村和施罗德都邀请太阳城娱乐官网的学生尝试一下航空项目。 Nakamura shares that “太阳城娱乐官网 is a great place for aviation training because Kearney Airport doesn’t have a lot of air traffic which allows for more flight opportunities.”  He’s excited that the 航空项目 is growing because he believes it’s “an excellent place for anyone who wants to become a pilot or pursue a career in aviation.” He would like to share with future students that 太阳城娱乐官网 is “a place where you can grow, connect, and explore your future.”  Schroeder would like to add that future students “need to get into various groups and clubs” because he’s proof that it is “so much fun meeting new people and making new friends.”

For these two students, the sky’s truly the limit. 太阳城娱乐官网’s 航空项目 is the perfect way for any student to soar into a successful and exciting future.
