Connor’s Commencement Moment: May – June HVAC Workshop Completion

Transcript of Video

🎙️ Danny – HVAC Technical Academy

This is an experience that we all have had, but it’s not all been fun.

It’s been hard work. I’ve had people in the past—participants—quit in week three, week four. Because it’s too hot. Because it’s too hard.

None of y’all did.
None of y’all did.

And that, in and of itself, is an accomplishment. You just don’t understand it yet. You don’t appreciate it yet. But you will—when you get a little bit of olderness in your olderness.

I’d like to share the next video. And it’s a very good video. I was quite, quite impressed with this video.

So—let’s check it out.

Mark Twain—he kind of knows what he’s doing.

And just as a reminder, all of these videos are on our website: HVAC Technical Academy, or hvacta.com—all the way to the right.

I thought I was on a ship for a second, the way they talk, but anyway…

Connor, please come on up here.

👏 Connor Pitcairn – Workshop Participant

Thank you. Thank you.

Hello everyone. I’m not good at coming up here—I’m a little shaky right now—but it’s okay.

I want to thank Andrew, Danny, Robert, and Elaine for putting up with me. I know I’m a lot to put up with. I’m very hyper. A lot of ADHD. So my brain’s moving, and you don’t even know.

I mean, I don’t even know what I’m going to do with myself after this.

You guys… you guys helped me. For sure.

It was fun—in like a sadistic way.
I live in Orlando, so it was a far drive, but I didn’t mind coming up here because I learned a lot. It was very fun working out there—actually dealing with the air handlers and the condensers and all that.

Shout out to Chris, dude.
Could not have done it without Chris. He helped me a lot, too.

I appreciate all of you guys. You made it.

🎉 Group Moment
So—we’ve got to say it. On three, we’re saying Andrew’s line.
You guys know the line. Everyone made it—Jonathan, Deontay, everyone. Zach, Shmica, Karen… I don’t even have to name it.

Alright—on three.
One… two… three—
