If you're a student that likes to, you know - that wants to go into the trades and have an incredible job, and you're a student that loves the electricity or whatever it may be, in all honesty, a lot of times when you walk the halls people may - other kids may look down on you a little bit. It's not fair. It's not right.

Just as a good workman never blames his tools, so the diligent student never blames his paradigm
