 Yes, I want to be a pilot since I was a younger girl, because I love flying and military. When I was in school, I always talked about how female pilots in the movies and how cool is their job, and I was thinking, oh, why can't we have it in Jordan? Like, why not? Yeah, and then like six years later, I just saw the advertisement on Facebook. Real vision inspired Jordan Armed Forces to improve the existence of females at all levels, especially in graduating female pilots. The United States Armed Forces in particular, USAF, and the embassy in Jordan has a huge role in supporting and keep pushing to make sure that this program will be a success for JAF and RGF. I was especially excited when I learned that the RGF had nominated some female cadets to their Air Academy. Before women were widely accepted as pilots in the Air Force, that's kind of where Jordan is now as they bring female pilots into the ranks for the first time. The partnership with the US military, it was amazing how helpful they were and how understanding. The real involvement I've had has been with their female cadets when they started at their Air Academy. It helped me to help them navigate through uncharted territory here in Jordan. The mentorship allowed me to at least share my experiences, to share the challenges. Female pilots here can work under any pressure and under any circumstances. We can do as men do, no difference in tasks and requirements between males and females. A woman can do anything in anywhere and a woman, when works under pressure, will produce special things. The participating of Herald Highness Princess Selma has assisted in succeeding the RGF program. Herald Highnesses always was a motivation for us. It's humbling to play even a small part in Jordan's journey in advancing women's role in the Air Force. His Majesty encourages Jordanian girls to break through all glass ceilings and I'm happy to be a part of that in the Air Force. I was actually terrified of flying but my father, His Majesty, suggested I take some lessons just to get over my fear. The encouragement I received was all I needed to complete my training and now I really look forward to it and I think it's a part of who I am now. Both he and my brother are pilots so their support is really encouraging. My brother always checks on me after my lessons so he always comes and asks me how I did and he tells me about his own experiences with flying which was really helpful. The Royal Family inspired the Jordanian people. The number of applications for females for recruiting at King Hussein Air College has increased by hundreds. So His Majesty has been hugely supportive of this program as well as building a female core of pilots within the RGF. His Majesty the King and the Queen is the great supporter of having a more effective role for the women in the Jordanian society. It's not only on the armed forces. His Majesty would like to see women in all ministries, in all sectors, so either public or private sector. Male pilots from Arab countries, they were so surprised that we have female pilots in Jordan. I said no, I'm not the first one. I'm not the only one. The example that Jordan is setting by making women equal partners within the Jaff and within the RGF, that sends a very strong message of equality across the region. And I think Jordan should be very proud of that progression that they've started and I think that it will start to trickle into other parts of their society as well. I think it's important for Jordanian girls to know that they can do anything they put their minds to. And even if someone says you're not capable of doing something, the best way to prove them wrong is to just roll up your sleeves and show them you can do it.
