When a young person graduating High School is asked what they want to do with their rest of their life, it can be a hard decision to make. Many youth are still uncertain at this time in their life, but not 4-H'er Paul Combs. Because of his experiences in 4-H he knows " what he wants to do for the rest of his life" or at least what field he wants to go into and that field is aviation. Paul plans to attend EKU this next year and enroll in their aviation program to become a pilot. When Paul was a younger 4-H'er he attended Aerospace Day Camp each summer and this is where his dream of becoming a pilot was discovered. Paul always looked forward to this day each summer and even later stepped up to take on leadership roles within 4-H by joining the State SET Board. Because of these experiences Paul already knew what career path he wants to take. As of now, Paul plans to fly cargo planes, but is open to any ideas within the aviation industry. Paul is a 10 year 4-H member and earned his Gold Level Achievement this past year. 4-H has made a positive impact on Paul and becase of the experiences he gained through this program, he is ready to take this next step in his life and soar.
