Kianet Badal, 17, spent her summer in the sky, as 1 of only 28 students selected for a prestigious Navy summer flight academy program.

They say "sky's the limit" when trying to pursue your dreams, and a student from Woodland Hills took this to heart. At age 17, Kianet Badal became a pilot thanks to the U.S. Navy summer flight academy.

"I was honestly in shock because I was not expecting to get in," said Badal. "So when I did see that email, I was like there's no way! So I contacted everyone I knew, everyone that encouraged me to do it and said guess what, guess what?" "Getting onto the plane I was very anxious and honestly very nervous," said Badal. "I didn't know what to expect. I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn't expect it to be this rigorous."
