Cameron Dawes – Participant Testimonial
Host: Danny — Participant Testimonial: James Samuels
Every different type of personality comes through here. So that is a good thing, because if everybody was the same, it would not be any fun. And that is what I really appreciate about James. Thank you for being part of this organization, part of this family. I do not think it is the last time I am going to hear from you. I know I am going to see you Tuesday and Wednesday for OSHA, as well as anyone else who is going to be here, and you better be here like you committed.
So come on up here, say a couple of words in the microphone, because you are soft. And I do like the shoes.
So thank you so much, Mr. D. And here is the handshake.
I am very honored to be receiving this certificate, and this was a great class, one of the best classes I have been in. We have everybody here when it comes to students that you could count on or depend on. So we have some of the best teachers as well because, coming up learning about AC, you would always feel it in the classrooms. You would just know that you were cool, that you were safe, and that you were in the best place because you had the principal and the assistant principal and the teachers, administrators all around.
So I thank Danny for this great opportunity to be learning about AC. I thank Andrew for being a great teacher and the son of Mr. J. And I thank Robert for his great work and his talks to me that really helped me understand what I am learning. And I thank Danny’s wife, Mrs. Elaine, and Mrs. Huffman for her support being here as the mother.
I could always depend on my good teammates and classmates like Jason, one of the first partners that I had when I started and I took out the blower motor out of the air handler. It was a great experience. We really took it apart, and we got what we needed to get done.
Then there is Tommy and his brother Cameron that were there, and they made sure that I focused on what the teachers were telling me so that I could get done what I needed to get done myself. Because if I go into the field, I am going to be a technician and I am going to have to do most of these things myself. I know I will be able to call somebody, but I have to depend on what I have been taught and see how that can lead me to success.
We also have Roger, who was always there. He was working with his team, and he would give you any words of encouragement he could on the side. And then there is Edward. Edward would always encourage me to do my homework, get what I needed to get done, and just be professional about it. That is why I really respect him for who he is.
Then there is Junior. Junior helped me focus on studying, focus on studying myself so that I would be prepared for the test. I feel like I did good on it. So I am very thankful for this great opportunity.
And then you have Jance. And Jance was—
Oh, that is right. Yes. So my mother, she was the very best support that I could have during this time because she took me to school every day. And she made sure that I was first with Career Source. Career Source really helped me with a gas card to help me get to school.
I am sorry about all this time that it is taking to tell you all of this, but it is just how this experience was. It is a really great opportunity. So I am so thankful to Career Source and to my mother because she helped me while I was taking classes with Career Source. That is why my mother matters so much to me, and I would never forget her.
I am thankful that all of you are here to hear me talk about this, because every student means so much to me, as well as my teachers and my parents, especially my father, because he had a chance to ride up here a few times with my mother and meet some of the great people that are here at this great place in Sanford.
It was really, really fun coming up here two hours every day. It was a great opportunity.
And so Jance really helped me understand the wiring that is inside of the air handler. And then you have Nate. Nate helped me understand about the condenser. Then there is Kevin. Kevin was right next to me in class. He helped me through whatever I needed, like getting some of the notes that Danny was telling me about early in the morning. I hope that he passes his test and that we see him, especially for the OSHA.
So thank you all so much for this. God bless you all. Thank you.
Yay.
One of the things that James did mention was Career Source. We owe a lot to Career Source. They have been very helpful, very beneficial, and supportive for a lot of different reasons. True Tech Tools is also part of the family. They have been very helpful, and they help us with tools and the great things that you all get.
Another company, Kaos, helps us with some donations and a lot of the stuff that everybody broke down system-wise and put back together. I appreciate Kaos’s help as well as, of course, Tropical Air of Central Florida. This is their location. We did a lot of work because of them, and without their support, their knowledge, and Andrew and Robert, we would not be able to function.
So thank you all. And again, Career Source. The next video that we are going to watch—James made mention of that individual, but let us see what the video has to say. If I could only get this next person to not speak so much.
