Again... if you didn't get the email... I'm proud of Matt

Thursday, June 21, 2007

As you all probably have gotten the little card I made, Matt graduates today (June 22nd). What a quick 2 years it has been. Even Matt is in disbelief that it is done... for the most part. He has gotten through the basic automotive training, the Ford FACT (Ford Accelerated Credential Training) program, was top of his class 4 times earning SOC (student of the course) pins, and has obtained four ASE (Automotive Society of Engineers) certificates. Now he receives and Associates in Automotive Engineering and knowledge of the automotive industry from the best auto tech school in the nation.
He will work full time for the next week then he will take a much deserved month off. (He has been working part time and going to school year-round since August of 2005, gone 13 hours a day) He will start up the Volvo Safe program in August 2007, upon completion he is guaranteed a job, somewhere in the United States, although we have no idea where that will be yet.
He has worked hard, just as hard as any college student, if not harder. He maintained a 4.0 grad point average the whole time. I am bursting with pride to you all about his accomplishments. I hope that you are as proud of him as I am.
