As teenagers, we often feel frustrated with school, trapped in a system that doesn't seem designed for everyone. The Purpose of Flying is a short story that goes beyond that frustration, exploring what it truly means to find your own path in a world that insists there is only one way to succeed.
On a planet where everyone is born to fly, becoming a pilot is the only way to reach the sky—a place of opportunities and guaranteed stability. But not everyone manages to take off. Billy, a young man who never learned to fly, faces a system that ignores him and leaves him behind. However, in his apparent failure, he finds something greater: a purpose of his own that changes his life and the lives of others like him.
This is a story about struggle, resilience, and the importance of finding value in what truly fulfills you—even when the system refuses to recognize it. What does "flying" really mean? Discover it in this emotional and thought-provoking tale that will make you see life from a whole new perspective.
