I just got back from the SkillsUSA Leadership Conference, Illinois Chapter in Springfield and had a great time. When I first competed I thought it was lame, but when it was over, it was so worth it. This will be my second time going. Last year at the State competition I received a gold medal-customer service, and silver-job demonstration. This year, 2010 I received a gold-job interviewing, silver-job description. Another competitor, Lluvia Collazo and I will be going along with three other competitors from the HVACR department from Elgin Community College, Elgin, IL. From there we will be heading to Kansas City, MO for the Nationals in June.
As a matter of fact at the state competition the HVACR guys dominated the state skills tournament. So for any ECC students reading this, be sure to congratulate the guys for the great work that then have done.
Have a good one and ttyl
