Another brisk Kansas morning, another day at Cessna.
This is my second summer to intern at my favorite company.
Cessna, now known as Textron Aviation, has been my dream since my first week of
interning, back in 2013. Throughout my time here, I’ve had the honor of working
alongside a rather unique group of engineers. Oh yes, we are a wacky bunch,
but my colleagues are some of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met. Last
year they helped me design and build an ion gun and compose and conduct
aircraft tests. This year I get to work with Lightning Generators and Radiation Chambers. I feel incredibly blessed to have this cool of a summer job. Getting to put into practice the engineering
knowledge and skills I’ve been developing at LeTourneau is such a gratifying
and exciting adventure!

In addition, there is definitely good news for LeTourneau
students at Textron Aviation! Over three times more LeTourneau students are
being hired for full-time and intern positions than last year. Textron Aviation must
like what they see! Moreover, I can speak as a LeTourneau student and say I
like what I see, too! I’m so impressed by my company and the experiences
Textron Aviation has given me!
After work, there are great things to do in Wichita. My
favorite pastime is strolling through the gorgeous Botanica! Wichita’s botanical
gardens are my paradise. Besides the invigorating beauty of nature, you
never know what you’ll find as you wander through. Yesterday, when I was
walking through the gardens, I spotted a small troupe of ballerinas in full
costume dancing on the grand fountain! Yes, the Botanica is truly a whimsical
place.
My summer is shaping up to be an unforgettable one, so I’ll
open up my doors and let life keep pourin’ in!

Nice and all, but the first sentence is a bit inaccurate. April is an Electrical Engineering major, not an aviation student.
