BAHRAIN teenager Shruthi Sathish, thought to be the youngest person in the region to qualify as a commercial pilot, is hoping to inspire other youngsters to follow their dreams.
"I would like to give a message to all youngsters out there that they must always follow their dreams," the 18-year-old Indian girl told the GDN after a ceremony to honour her achievement.
"I would say to them that challenge is something interesting. Overcoming the challenge is what makes life meaningful."
The honouring ceremony was organised by Surya Cultural Association, at the Bangkok Restaurant, Adliya.
Indian School chairman Abraham John presented Shruthi with a memento at the function attended by more than 200 people. They included association executive committee members A T Vincent, Anup Mathew, T Sudheer, Hamza Chavakkad, R Pavithran, Satish Mudalayil, P P Basheer, K R Nair and N Chandra Shekhar.
Shruthi joined a nine-month commercial pilot's course at the Delta Air International Aviation Academy, in the Philippines, after graduating from the Indian School last April.
She returned to Bahrain earlier this month, but will be travelling to train under India's regulations, with the hope of beginning her flying career.
"I got the idea of becoming a pilot just because I wanted to do something different and challenging," Shruthi said.
"I will be travelling to India to convert my licence after taking an exam, which would be for three to six months.
"Then I would like to work as a pilot, first in India, probably in Bangalore, to gain some experience.
"And then I would like to come back to Bahrain to work here.
"I am very thankful to God and grateful to my parents, who have helped me so much in every way."
Shruthi's father Sathish Mudalayil is a design and development manager at The Modern Architect, while her mother Leena is a housewife.
Her sister Swathi is a Class Seven pupil at the Indian School.
