Student Spotlight: Growth, Dedication, and the Journey of Learning

There’s been a lot of growth in Christopher—there really has been. He’s been very dedicated, writes a lot of notes, and he’s always out there. Never gives me a hard time—I don’t think he’s given anybody a hard time. Always eager to learn.

I know he’s given Stephanie a few hard times, though—that’s why she’s up here, you know. Hey, what about me? But is that true?

It’s about growth, and that’s what I look at—from day one all the way through. I see patterns, and that’s the beauty of a small class and being personally involved.

Because that’s what Robert, Andrew, and Christopher—that’s why we’re here. It’s for that personal relationship, that involvement. So you’re not alone, and you’re not going to be alone.

And if you notice, he’s talking about a reversing valve. We go through just about, literally, the whole refrigeration cycle—all of AC, from all the things you’ve seen here and a bunch more.

So definitely, Christopher, if you don’t mind, please come on up here. I know you told me you had like a 15-minute speech—do me a favor and cut it down a little bit.

My name is Chris. I don’t know where to start.

I want to say thank you to Dan and everybody—you know, to the school, like, L. This is the first school I ever fully went all the way through and followed up with all the way through.

So, um, I’m proud of myself. I’m thanking you for the encouragement. The experience you give to students is unlike any other experience I’ve ever had at any other school, so I gotta thank you for that.

That’s all I got to say.
