Though we no longer stream the awards, we don’t want to deprive you completely of all the fun, so here’s some of what you missed.

It all began on May 30, 2012, when I stepped onto a United Airlines Airbus A320 for the first time. At the time I was only four years old going to Disney World.

I remember stepping off the airplane and telling my mom that I was going to fly an airplane like that one day.
