Precious Sibalo, a young woman from Zimbabwe, finally achieves her dreams of becoming a commercial airline pilot after many hurdles.
According to Blacknews.com, Precious got inspired to become a pilot after she saw some pilots during a school trip to the airport. After that trip, a fire was kindled in her heart.
Having not met any female pilots, she became even more motivated to make a difference by becoming a female pilot so she kept her hopes high.

However, things changed when at the age of 17, she became a mother and around the same time, lost her mother.
She had to manage being emotionally overwhelmed with providing for her family so she set her dreams aside for a while.
In her bid to cater for her child and family, she moved to South Africa to work as a waitress and a part-time model before moving to Dubai where she also worked as a waitress.
Never give up on your dreams
After about 3 months in Dubai, she took an opportunity to work at Qatar Airways as a cabin crew member and soon she was promoted to senior cabin member.
At this point, she chose to pursue her dream so she started studying to become a pilot.
Now, she holds an Airline Transport Pilot License, which is the world’s highest level of Aircraft Pilot License from 43 Air School in South Africa.
