17-Year-Old Is Now Flying As American Airlines’ First Flight Attendant With Special Needs



 17-year-old Shantell "Shannie" Pooser, who was born with a heart defect and a series of terminal airway defects, has spent a lot of her time flying back and forth between Denmark, South Carolina to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. As a result, she developed a love for flying and became inspired to become a flight attendant. 

"So far, we've been on over 57 (flights). That's including the connecting flights, as well, too," Shannie's mother Deanna Miller-Berry told WIS 10 News. "She saw the flight attendant, and she was like, ‘Mommy, I want to be a flight attendant.'"

If it's one thing that Shannie does best, it's beat the odds.

Back in 2016, after having a major surgery that the doctors said would leave her in bad shape, Shannie "came out singing 'Let It Go' from Frozen," CBS News reports Miller-Berry saying. "The surgeons were standing around like, 'We've never had anybody come out of this type of surgery talking ... this girl is singing 'Let It Go' in ICU.'"
