Just Growing Up

This is the latest episode of Real Chicks Rock!™ Presents Real Discussions, featuring special guest and host Michelle Dawes Birt's son Christopher, shares his unique perspective on growing up with separated parents who have maintained a strong, supportive co-parenting relationship. He highlights the benefits of experiencing two different lifestyles and the seamless transitions between his mom's and dad's homes. This dynamic has allowed him to thrive, especially in his educational pursuits.

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Christopher's passion for aviation. Starting with his experiences at Fulton Leadership Academy, where he was introduced to aviation fundamentals, Christopher's journey is nothing short of inspiring. His enthusiasm for flying, coupled with hands-on experiences like flying a plane at Charlie Brown Airport and participating in aviation camps, has solidified his dream of pursuing a career in aerospace engineering. His goal is to attend Tuskegee University or Hampton University, both of which offer strong aviation programs.

Christopher's entrepreneurial spirit shines through as he discusses his drone business, which he started in the 10th grade. He emphasizes the importance of creating job opportunities for young people and the potential of drones in the 21st century. His vision includes opening a 24-hour warehouse dedicated to drone training and aviation education, aiming to generate generational wealth and provide valuable skills to the community.

The episode also touches on financial literacy, with Christopher sharing his experiences with saving, investing, and building credit. Michelle's proactive approach to teaching him about money management from a young age has clearly paid off, as Christopher demonstrates a mature understanding of financial principles.

As the conversation wraps up, Michelle and Christopher reflect on the importance of building relationships, both in school and beyond. Christopher's advice to younger students is to establish strong connections with teachers and mentors, as these relationships can open doors to future opportunities.
