"I graduated from IntelliTec College in the automotive program. I was working in the morning, so I did the night class. I just stuck through, kept coming, and if it wasn't for the instructors that I had, I wouldn’t have graduated for sure. I’ve learned a lot. Now I know each little thing in a vehicle is a system and it makes it a lot easier to work on vehicle performance."
