axe is he’s learned a lot about not only Hback but about himself and about Mrs. Smith, how to talk to Mrs. Smith. The only thing I need for Max to do now is to get a little bit more when it comes to developing a relationship with a c with a resident. And >> do you speak? >> Yes. >> Okay, good. Because you’re gonna say something right here. Here you go. Hey, my name is Max, man. Thank you, Danny. Thank you, Andrew. Thank you, Mr. Rob. I don’t see Chris, though, man. Chris didn’t make it. I was

00:00:39

just thankful for the opportunity. >> Oh, for real? >> Yeah. >> All right. Thanks, Chris, too, then. And yeah, that’s about it. >> I said, “Thank you, Danny.” >> That’s all you said. I want something better. >> All right, Danny. I appreciate the opportunity, Danny. Great instructor, a great teacher. Mr. Rob pushed me to my limits. Respect you, man. >> What about Andrew? >> Andrew ain’t Andrew bullied me half my Andrew bullying me.

The thing about the thing about um Andrew, Robert, myself, and Christopher, four very different styles of teaching. Extremely different styles of teaching, which is what I want. I want conflict. I want challenge. I want people who you sometimes you can understand, sometimes you can’t, sometimes you think are a little aggressive, sometimes because that’s what it’s like in the real world. Understanding the different personalities. And so I encourage and I’ve told Robert, I’ve told Andrew and

00:01:52

Chris, don’t make it easy, make it challenging, make them troubleshoot, and don’t give them the answer. Make sure they don’t electrocute themselves. But at the same time, that’s how you learn is through struggle. And y’all y’all pretty much have have done that. The next person that is going to be coming up here unfortunately did not do a video. Um I I I don’t know why, but I’m sure that there’s a reason, but that’s okay. Come on up here. Um, I just want to thank all our

00:02:37

instructors. They really helped us a lot. Helped us learn a lot and there wasn’t for them, you know, none of us would really be here. Um, they helped us a lot. Even when like like Danny was saying, they didn’t never gave us the answers. They put us on the right track, but never gave it to us. And I feel like that was probably the best part because we had to figure it out for ourselves. Um, and I’m just really grateful for my family for putting me in here. I appreciate y’all. I love y’all. Thank

00:03:01

you. And this is honestly the best opportunity that’s happened to me in my whole life. So, I’m going to use it well. Take it as far as I can. And you can take this very very far. That’s the thing about this. There’s a lot of opportunities in the HVAC industry, not just service technicians, but there’s a lot. It’s just it’s a whole industry. The thing about HVAC is every store, every home, every institution has to have HVAC. You’re there, not just here, but everywhere, anywhere around the world.

You will be qualified to do that. Work on just about anything. Take a little bit of experience, and you can even own your own company in a in several years of documentative experience and all that and take the test. Um, but if Andrew could pass, y’all could pass. It’s that easy. >> Well, pretty close to it. No, it’s not. It’s definitely not easy. Um, the next person who I definitely want to come up here and we’ll look at his video of all all the people that have come through here. And this is from past

00:04:19

experiences, past past places. The amount of change in attitude, in belief, in himself is remarkable. It’s remarkable. Truly remarkable. I’m impressed. And I know as long as he stays committed to himself, great things are going to happen. And don’t give up. Just like we talk about every day when I’m teaching, talk about that visualization and affirmations. Don’t don’t stop at all. So, let’s take a look at a video real quick and then I will ask this very fine outstanding

00:04:59

young gentleman and Lobos fan. Well, not yet to to come on up here. Hold on.
