Week one
I am excited to meet new people and to see what my future profession holds for me. I fear that I might damage somebody's car and not have money to pay for the damage. I am able to scan for codes on any vehicle, and I am able to change oil without any mistakes. Now I am good at basic car maintenance.
Week two
I learned how to use this machine to recover and recharge your vehicles ac.

My boss had to flex on me with his all white tool box that cost $20,000, with no tools inside. It was the first white tool box ever made by snap on which is like the Gucci in tools.

This is my little cart that I use to carry tools, oil filters, oil, and coolant. when I am doing oil changes and other work.

The challenges i've gone through was burning myself with oil when doing changes. My plan of attack was using the new lift my boss had installed so know I am able to move out of the way when I start to drain various fluids. My co-workers taught me how to use my brain rather than muscle when forcing things back into play being that it could be drain plugs or filters.
Week three
I didn't really use any skills that I got from highschool to help me out with my work all of everything I knew was self taught and being able to focus and function in a real place of business. The only project that I could relate with school is when Will Raschke let me and ryan build a go cart for a project. That is one of the major things I could use to relate with my work.
Week four
Well my externship has really influenced me into switching into that type of career my boss is willing to pay for my schooling to become a mechanic but it's hard to chose because my parents each day and night were always on me about how this field isn't good and I won't be making that much money. My mom keeps wanting me to be a nurse and said that is one of the only job that sounds perfect but in reality I might end up losing my shit when I have to work I job I don't like.
Week five
I am thankful for my boss for being able to teach me of how this profession runs and getting down to the nitty gritty and every detail of each car I work on.I am also thankful for my manager for teaching me how customer service works and how to attend to a customer no matter the situation. and last but not least my co-worker for telling me stories about how he first started out and how he had seen some wild shit.
walkaround of my work
I was able to see the legend him self David Buschur
My boss's son launching his evo and blowing his tranny hitting 180.
