Let's start the morning with an impossible dream.
But is it unrealizable?
56 years ago, in a house near a military airport in Galatina, Italy, a girl, Lucia Sabrina Papa, was born. She was born blind, but the roar of planes taking off nearby enchanted her and made her dream of the sky, becoming a plane "that can soar higher than the birds", as Lucia's parents told her.
Lucia grew up, got an education, worked for many years in the field of information technology, but the impossible dream of heaven did not let her go.
And on the path of her life she encountered a teacher who was not arrested because of the student's blindness. At first, the woman flew as a passenger, then the instructor began to explain to her how the instruments and controls of a small plane work. And in 2016 her dream came true - Lucia tried to fly a plane herself.
Together with an instructor, they developed a system that allows a blind woman to determine the plane's position in space and navigate the instrument's readings by touch.
To date, Lucia Sabrina Papa, the first blind pilot in Italy, has already flown 200 hours.
So no pipe dreams! Dream and believe in miracles - and they will come true!
