Graduation is Near!

Good afternoon everyone!

First of all, I just want to thank you for taking the time to view my blog. Today, I just want to reflect a bit on what has happened this month and a bit of what I plan to do in the months to come. It's been one hell of a ride these past four years at iPoly high school. We all knew this day would come, and it's finally arrived: our graduation. It's the final stretch of the race... just a few more meters to go. However, by no means does my graduation from high school mean that my journey will end from there. We may be approaching the finish line of this race, but only to begin training for a new one in the fall. In the next few paragraphs, I just want to give a word of thanks to everyone that has contributed to making my senior project a success.

Mr Hunzeker,

Thank you for being such a supportive teacher. You provided me with so many things, such as the materials I needed to carry out my activity. Your expertise in electrical engineering was greatly appreciated. Thank you for providing with invaluable insight into your field and for giving me the educational incentive to pursue my ambitious goals despite their inherent intricacies.

Allen Barreno,

Thank you for allowing me to mentor at your company over the past nine months. It has been an extraordinary learning experience for me as both a student and a worker. You've taught me so much about the field of electrical engineering and C.A.D.D., and I feel truly blessed for having the opportunity to have found BERG Power Engineers. God Bless you and your family.

Yagi and Jason,

Thank you for helping me achieve my drafting projects throughout my mentorship at BERG. You provided me with very valuable tips and tricks for Microstation and AutoCAD that I will cherish and utilize as I pursue my dream of becoming a power engineer. You and Jason were very hospitable when I first entered BERG that hot August morning nine months ago, and I just want to tell you guys that I am grateful that you guys were such a great help to me and I hope to be able to see you two again in the near future.

Amanvir Sudan,

Thank you for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to allow me to conduct an interview with you. The knowledge and insight about engineering college and the field of power engineering that you provided is more valuable to me than you may realize. I am truly grateful to have met you at that SEL seminar this past March. I wish you the best of luck as you continue to grow and expand your horizons at SEL.

The Senior Team,

Thank you for providing me with the rigorous and competitive opportunity to pursue a mentorship and create a final project centered around our field of choice. This project has been such an eye-opening experience for me. Nine months ago, my former self would've deemed a project such as this impossible, but now that I have finally completed it to the best of my ability, I feel so much more confident not only about myself, but my skills as a worker, drafter, and a student. I hope to carry out the interpersonal and technical skills I have attained through this project in my everyday life and professional environment.

The iPoly Faculty (teachers),

Thank you for providing me with a rock-solid foundation in utilizing comradeship and communication to develop my skills in problem-solving and delegating. Without you support, this project wouldn't have had a solid base to launch from.
