One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time that I flew a plane by myself. After takeoff I instinctively glanced at my instructor for his comments on my procedure--the seat was empty; I was flying all alone. There was no safety net, if I made a mistake during landing there would be no ex-fighter pilot to save the day for me, but the need to do it well myself contributed to the pride I felt. There isn't nearly as much pressure when there's someone next to you to save the day.

Being in the Berlin Fan Park when Germany was playing Portugal in the EuroCup. There were so many people united by a sense of pride in their country. It was remarkable.
