For the last three weeks Graham has been going to Peterborough every day to attend his Basic Carpentry courses. He’s still an apprentice and before he becomes a journeyman, he has to complete Basic, Intermediate and Advanced training.
I joke around that Graham going to carpentry school would be like me going to gardening school…getting to do something you love every day for eight weeks would be a breeze! But I give him more credit than that. I’m sure it isn’t awesome fun to get up early every day and go to school in one’s mid-thirties, sit in a classroom or shop all day and do homework and write tests, but he’s in there and he’s loving it. He’s good at it. He got 100% in one of his classes. Who does that?
He does.
I might not tell you often enough, Graham, but I’m grateful for the sacrifices you’re making in this journey toward your new profession. I’m so proud of you.
It’s so inspiring to see people who are able to pursue something that they love like that.
Aww, what a nice post. Good job, Graham!
And is that Twitter I see on your laptop?
Such a great post, its nice to see such support and passion to go after your dreams. Yay.
Well, done, Graham. Keep up the good work.
