I finally became a flight attendant at a small airline. First, I had to endure rigorous training. During in-flight announcement practice, the instructor violently shook my body to simulate turbulence. Next came rescue training, where the instructor gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation using his own body to help me understand emergency procedures. Then, during maintenance training, a veteran mechanic used my body as an aircraft model, carefully guiding me through oil inspection procedures. After all my hard work, I embarked on my first flight to Hawaii.
