Students in Industrial Tech Promisi Ty Herzog freshmneg n

Having a break during your school day from required courses is something that most people enjoy, and in the Intro to Welding class offered at CMR, freshman Ty Herzog says he uses this class as just that. “Getting to be more hands-on and having a little more fun than other classes [is] a break to your day,” Herzog said. “[In the future,] I’ll probably try and get two [IT classes] a year to get something to do in my day.” He says he got interested in the IT program
because his family “is into that stuff,” so that inspired him to take the classes and get involved with welding. Different from his IT classes in middle school, Herzog says the class at CMR gives him opportunities to try doing different things, with more hands-on work rather than bookwork. “It gives you a lot of life skills in general, like for fixing stuff, and if I ever did want to go into a career of some sort, I’d already be ahead in that sort of field,” he said.
Kolten Lawrence For an aspirant boilermaker, taking the intro-level IT classes would help in following that career, and freshman Kolten Lawrence is doing exactly that. “I am taking intro to electricity, drafting, woods, and medals. So far it’s really good. The electricity has been my favorite so far, but I’ve only been in two of them so I couldn’t tell you so far,” Lawrence said. “They’ll teach us a bit of safety and how to
do basic electrical work and drafting, stuff like that.” His favorite parts of the classes he has taken -- electricity and drafting -- is the circuitry section of his Intro to Electricity class, which he said was really fun. During these classes, he added his teachers were very nice, advocating that the teachers deserve a raise for the work they do.
