What's the most important thing you've learned at NBSS?
I have learned to trust myself in making decisions where I do not yet how they’re going to turn out. Being able to explore beyond my comfort zone and dig deep inside of myself to showcase my true abilities of craftsmanship. Being around like minded people has open my eyes to the many versatile opportunities that are within the trades. Carpentry has allowed be to seek past my self limitations and form a new level of confidence to successfully keep enjoying this journey that I have embarked on.
What is your favorite NBSS experience?
My favorite experience thus far about NBSS has been the many small lessons that have continued to teach me huge things. The small lessons have a special place because they have taught me the most. It is never a dull moment when these lessons continue to show up throughout the school year. It also shows that no matter how small the detail, in the carpentry trade, the smallest details tend to be the biggest solutions.
