Flight of life...it's as easy as landing on the Hudson!!
Today, Capt. Chesley Sullenburger returned to the air. Every time I think about what he did, I'm amazed. I even sometimes get teary eyed. I find it so moving that he did such a heroic act but always said he was just doing his job. I consider him a hero but more importantly an example. He just did what he was taught. I'm sure in class he didn't doodle on his papers and when given the opportunity to practice his flying skills he didn't just sit back and say "Oh, I'll know what to do when the time comes." I just think how easy it is for us to land on our personal "Hudson". I know that in my CNA class I could take advantage of the time my teacher gives me to practice and just like "Sully" had a plane full of people and their families counting on him, he knew what he was doing because he wasn't cutting corners. In my future profession I will have lots of sick people and their families counting on me. I can learn a lesson from Sully and remember not to cut corners and take my time. Because time now might give people more time later!! I hope I can perform as well as Sully if the time ever comes!!! And I hope we can all land on our own personal "Hudson"!!!
