You will learn a lot the next few days, months, all of it will make you a better pilot. Keep your head high and be proud of all of our accomplishments -- including not allowing this incident to be an worse than it was. You will prevail! DO NOT let this end your flying career.
I'm still confused how a mechanical failure would have
any negative effect on his pilot career.
OP, you have nothing to be afraid of. Be proud of your story. It was not your fault, and have nothing to explain except how well you handled it.
