My little brother Matthew just got his approval papers from the FFA. He and his wife, Lauren having been living in Florida for about a year waiting for this to happen. They moved down there so that he could go to the school Delta has there. He submitted an application for approval and was denied. The reason being that he was born with a cyst in his brain and has had to have over 20 surgeries since he was about 12. Well to make a long story short, he appealed it and he just got approval today.
This is so incredibly amazing and I am so excited for him. His whole life he has always wanted to be an air force pilot. He could not join the Air Force because of this whole thing with his head. So he turned to the next best thing. HE has struggled for so long and has come just within arms length of all of his dreams and now one is finally coming true. I love you Matt and Lauren I am so glad your dreams are both coming true.
