Caledonia — Sitting with his fourth grade class in the Dutton Elementary media center, Ryu Fleming used various colored pencils to draw an airplane flying in the sky.
In the front of the plane, he drew a small stick figure person wearing what appeared to be an airline captain’s cap.
Ryu shared with School News Network his hopes for the career path he’d like to pursue in the future.
What is your dream? “I want to be a pilot when I grow up.”
Why is this your dream? “I want to take people from place to place and make sure they get there safely. When I was younger I flew on a plane and liked falling asleep because we were safe on the plane.”
What is your favorite thing about school and why? “I like learning and reading because it’s fun. When we come to the library, I find really good books that I like to read.”
