Is there anyone else here that is pursuing aviation without any family members in the field?

I got my PPL recently and I want to keep going with my IFR and commercial rating but something I have noticed after meeting lots of pilots is that I have not met a single pilot that does not have a pilot in their family. I have nobody at all in my family involved with aviation and I kind of feel alone while pursing this. Of course my family supports me but they know nothing about aviation. I feel like if someone has a pilot family member or friend it can be really convenient because you have easy access to someone that is very knowledgeable and experienced. I understand that there always has to be someone to do it first and I guess I am that person but I am wondering if there is anyone else like this that has a similar or different view about it than me. I am not complaining or making an excuse about my situation at all. I am just saying that going through this journey would be nice if I had someone to talk to about what I am doing. Maybe I just need to make some pilot friends.

Model Aviation is Under Attack in the US

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5rsfcc8hzs

Model aviation has not only helped advance technology, it has touched the lives of countless people. As written, the FAA's Remote ID legislation would impose crippling standards on hobbyists that many modelers would find impossible to comply with, leaving them a difficult choice: fly illegally or quit building and flying entirely. The drone and model aircraft community has been operating safely for decades. Regulating it out of existence will take away an amazing experience for many kids as well as hundreds of thousands of others. This video outlines a few of the major issues of the FAA's Remote ID Proposal; I would sincerely recommend you take the 4.5 minutes to watch it and understand the enormous negative impact it will have. If you have any comments or questions I would love to hear/answer them as well.

Also, if you would like to help us fight this regulation I would be happy to point you towards more detailed analyses of the proposal and how you can help.

Edit: I figured it makes more sense just to say how you can help. First, just sharing this video with other people. Most people who aren't active online with the RC community are completely unaware of this issue. It's important we show people the positive impact recreational drones have and how it's currently endangered. Calling your congressman would be great, or contacting any of the people on the Senate Aviation/Transportation/Safety committee. You can also leave a comment on the Proposal itself; this is the comment submission guide put together by the FPV Freedom Coalition, and it has a lot of great resources to help understand the NPRM (I'd start with the FAQ)

What is an oh s*** moment that you have had in aviation?

This happened about 2 weeks or so after I got my plane. (C172-H) I was doing a very basic flight going to my flight school which only lasts 45 minutes to an hour depending on the winds. After landing and getting out of my plane I feel a sludge on the door. Soon looking there was oil spread all over the side of the plane. When I looked inside, it turns out I left the oil cap off. Luckily the engine still works and all has been cleaned up since then.

What is your oh s*** moment? Put your stories in the comments
