\"IMG-DFW-FS-Graduation-1804-march-26-11\"<\/a>For over a month, flight attendant trainees spend almost every waking hour together studying, training, laughing and learning.\u00a0At our most recent Flight Attendant graduation, newly-minted Flight Attendant Amanda Priddy shared a poem she wrote for her classmates that embodies the bond that is created between them.<\/p>\n

From Strangers to Family,\u00a0<\/em>by Amanda Priddy<\/h3>\n

When we looked around the room on our very first day,<\/p>\n

We wondered who our classmates were and who would make it all the way.<\/p>\n

Mayrim asked us all of us to think about our purpose,<\/p>\n

She introduced us to the team and said they were there for us.<\/p>\n

Since that day, that feels so long ago,<\/p>\n

This class of strangers became a family, in a way we couldn’t know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our instructors put in long days and late nights,<\/p>\n

Bryan would say, “Come on, guys” until we got it right.<\/p>\n

We studied so hard and freaked out over tests,<\/p>\n

But the stress was all worth it to get those wings on our chest.<\/p>\n

We all took a leap of faith and it’s been one wild ride,<\/p>\n

It went by so fast and I’m not just talking about going down the slide!<\/p>\n

Look out friends and family, we’re not trainees anymore,<\/p>\n

Please join me in celebrating the Flight Attendants of class 1804.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
