Mr. Lewis,
I just wanted to drop you a letter and let you know that I’m out here
continuing in the field. I love my work.
This is me, working on a Macy’s project. We changed over all their
wireless terminals. I work for a company based in the East coast and I
am one of a couple of technicians they have out here in California and
we just finished a Walgreen’s project. I’m doing everything I learned in
your class and then some.
I hope for all your current students that if they really enjoy what they
are learning, that they see living proof in me, that anything is possible
with hard work and dedication. I believe that is someone finds in there
a trade that suits them, that they really can take it out to the streets
and build from there. I will never forget you, your instruction or the
opportunity that you gave me. THANK YOU AGAIN, SO VERY MUCH!
Your Former Student,
Sabrina
