Do you remember how during the childhood days you were asked to write an essay on, ‘What you want to become in future’? Some say, doctor, engineer, painter, singer while others speak of many other different professions. But when Anny Divya was asked to submit the list of things she wants to achieve, her topmost desire was to become a pilot.
Anny Divya, the young and dashing woman, through her hard work and perseverance has become the first youngest woman pilot in India. She is a small-town girl from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh and has completed her schooling from Kendriya Vidyalaya. Due to non-speaking English culture in her surrounding, she was not a fluent English speaker, though she could read and write English. Speaking not fluent English was always considered a huge hurdle, but her willpower was stronger which paved the way for her to become the youngest pilot to fly to San Francisco, New York, Chicago.
Her journey was not simple, like many of us even her dream of becoming pilot was taken as a joke in the initial years. But with the support of her parents, after completing her 12th grade took admission in Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi. From here her journey of flying high took her to the level which is worth appreciating. She got her first job in Air India just at the age of 19. After that, the next turning point in her life happened in Spain when her first training programme was held, where she received her lifetime opportunity to fly Boeing 737. And presently she is the youngest woman commander of the Boeing 777 which carries 396 passengers.
Being a woman, it was always difficult for her to fight for her dreams to come true, as she has spoken in her interviews that she faced similar challenges as another woman face in other professions but the only option left with her was to be focused towards her ultimate dream of becoming a pilot.
