Also to prepare me for the in school material I will be doing as well. Such as the National Electricians code book, which is what he calls the electrician's bible.
A qualified electrician is a person who you can ask a question and he will look at you and say if you look in the NECB and know the exact place where the section for your question is and will answer that question.

He would always have his tool belt on in the work area and would have safety glasses.
What I am looking to do after completing my studies would be to either go back into studies in business and look to build my own company, or I would be looking to start on a job site.

    I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school.

As of now, I am relying on multiple scholarships, some that support me for one school year in which regardless I am forever grateful and others that support me as long as I am reaccepted in to the acting program.…
