Greetings to all my fellow classmates! Honestly, I’m not sure where to start this
introduction blog. I guess I can start
with the standard basics. First, my name
is Ramona Manzanares. Second, my current
occupation is being an aircraft mechanic.
Third, I am a junior majoring in aerospace engineering. The following are random facts about
myself. My sun sign is Virgo. At the age of 36, I have never known a world
without MTV. Although, I must confess, I am not very
technologically hip. This is the first
time I have ever taken an online course or blogged. So far it has been quite a learning experience.
Now I will try to make this next bit interesting, because I must
elaborate on my love of airplanes. For the
last 14 years I have been employed as an airplane mechanic. Personally, I think airplanes are one of mankind’s
greatest accomplishments. The reason
being is that a land bound animal gained the ability to fly simply by
understanding and applying the laws of physics.
Most of the aircraft I have worked on are passenger and cargo jets. Below is a picture of the first aircraft I ever
worked on, the Bombardier CRJ-200.

As much I enjoy being a mechanic I cannot do it until
retirement. It is physically demanding
and as I grow older my body is wearing out.
So, I am attending OU part time while working part time. Aerospace engineering is a logical choice
because I have no wish to leave the aviation industry. If all goes well I should graduate in spring
2022.
In the little spare time I have between work and school, I like
to pursue my favorite hobby. So, my
favorite hobby is collecting hobbies. The
following is a brief list of hobbies I have collected over the years. Jewelry making, cake decorating, crochet,
embroidery, needle point, painting, sewing, yoga, car repair, and dog
training. I guess I try to be well
rounded. In the future I plan to take a
furniture making class at the Moore Norman Vocational School. That way I can learn how to use my
grandfather’s shop smith.
Well that pretty much sums up my current comings and
goings. Hopefully I did not make this
blog to boring for you guys. I will see
you in the next post!
