One thing that this ACA-122 class has taught me is how to email somebody properly; such as a professor, teacher, or anyone really. It’s impacted me because I had questions and had to email someone, but I didn’t know the correct format and how. The second thing is time management. Yes, you will have a ton of assignments due, but you have at least three weeks to do it for ACA. It impacted me because I do procrastinate and if you do that, it can be a problem for ACA.…

He is taking this class to continue to complete his bachelor’s degree in Homeland Security and Emergency management.…

A job paying more than minimum wage is challenging, but getting one right out of high school is rare. What if I told you that if you graduate from Weatherford High School with a $10 or more an hour job with only a semester of course work and clinical training required for the certification.

I thought it was amazing learning how to weld and learning how to connect metal by using equipment and objects. In order to become a welder you have to go to school for two years.…

A lot of people say welding is such an easy thing to go to school for because they think you have to do melt things together, but its actually pretty difficult to weld things together. the longer you go to school the more of the chance you will be more likely to succeed and find a better job and end up starting your own welding business and have other welders work for you.

Throughout the course, I learned different aspects of project management, and skills that can be used in the everyday life as long as involve interacting with other people. In this class I learned about how to be a better team member. This semester I was reminded of how important communication is and how people need to keep emphasizing it as one of the most important skills any person could possesses. The personality test was useful, I think it gave all of us a good way to start to see how everyone is different. It made it easier for each of us to better understand one another in how our unique personalities can be a challenge when working with others.…
