At the end of September, Construction Trades spent a few weeks over in North Point in Neshannock Township at a job site for roofing. When we asked the shop to write down a few thoughts about their experience, most of what we heard was that it was a good time in which they learned a lot.
Here's what they had to say:
"This week was a lot of fun," states Nothing can replace working on something with your crew. Hopefully we can get more chances to take on jobs like this one." ~ Austin Campbell, a sophomore from New Castle.
"Aside from the hard work and beat up hands," Logan Michael, a senior from New Wilmington, tells us, "it was one of the nicest roofs I've ever done with Mr. Seminara."
Sometimes, it is more than learning about angles and skills. "Working together to get the job done is more efficient with a group effort." ~ Madelyn Foster, junior from New Castle.
Christian Tanner, a senior from Neshannock would agree with Madelyn. "I learned what can't be taught in a classroom setting."
Carpentry students are truly following Confucius' old adage, "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life!" Austin Woodruff, senior from New Wilmington concurs "I had a good time on the job. It wasn't too hard, and I learned a lot."
Ashley Long, senior from New Castle, adds, "I realized that if you do it the right way, you will find yourself having fun and getting the job done correctly."
Overall, it seemed like construction had a great time helping the community and benefited greatly from the experience. They learned a lot of new skills and are excited for the next job site opportunity.
