And I spent every moment I could out at that flying school, way out of my comfort zone, all these young guys that wanted to be Qantas pilots, you know, and little old hop-along me in first my plaster cast, and then my steel brace, my baggy overalls, my bag of medication and catheters and my limp, and they used to look at me and think, "Oh, who is she kidding? She's never going to be able to do this."
我把所有空闲时间都花在飞行学校， 远远走出我的舒适带。 所有那些想当澳航飞行员的年轻人， 都看到我先是打着石膏绷带， 然后戴着钢支架，穿着肥大的背带裤， 带着医药包、导尿袋，一瘸一拐地， 他们当时看见我时会想， ”哦？谁在这儿开玩笑？她永远不可能做到的。“
