This is a life defining moment, you should probably write it yourself instead of posting what sounds good from the mouths of other people.

If you can't come up with anything it may be a sign that aerospace isn't meant for you.

If you'd like you can PM me your draft and I will edit it.

In the long run I think it's better to write something like this from the heart.
