Overall, the past few months of school during this global pandemic have been interesting and complicated to say the least. With in-person classes turning into virtual classes, it has made my time at New Institute of Technology difficult. It has made me much more grateful and lucky for the time we get on campus and in-person and the resources that we had full access to pre-COVID. Luckily, my school turned into hybrid classes meaning we have classes online for what can be taught online, but then we have our in-person hands on labs twice a week which has been amazing. The past two quarters here at New England Tech have been extremely fun and interesting. With the time we have in person we spend that doing electrical industrial motor control labs which has been so much fun getting to wire up our motors and see them in action. My next and last quarter here at this school will focus on Green and Renewable Energies which is what I will receive an associate degree in. During my Christmas break, I spent my time back on Martha’s Vineyard working as an electrical apprentice with Robert Young Jr. Electrical Contractor who I have been working with for over a year now. This is where I will resume my apprenticeship full-time once I graduate from New England Institute of Technology in June 2021. All and all these past few months have been a blessing and a curse. It has been an unfortunate and difficult time but that has only made me stronger and hungrier for what the future has to offer. I am extremely grateful for all of the opportunities that MVYouth has blessed me with and am excited to see where they take me.
