My name is Javier Cardenas. I work for Stober Drives.
We produce over here, uh, gear boxes.
I also have full student in Accelerated Opportunity Program.
It's been about 20 years since you know I was step in school, this was back in Mexico.
I've been back and forward on trying to go to school but actually it was difficult for me
between work and family and, you know, find the time to do it.
What I like most about the Accelerated Opportunity program is that I can get a degree in a short period of time
and also you know, they offer classes online, and they work with me on the schedule.
It's a great opportunity for me because they let me, you know, work and go to school at the same time.
I want to be an engineer when I graduate from college.
My advisor helped me a lot.
All the process and taking me to, you know, basically by hand, "This is what you are going to do; this is next.
"This is what you can do. This is what you don't want to do," and guides me perfectly to whatever I need.
One thing I really like is the hands on. They know what they are talking about. They tell you what to do, how to do it
more than, you know, just read the book and, you know, you are on your own. No, no.
Math you know, it's been a challenge for me because my language, my accent. I think you notice that.
I see, you know, the future. I can see.
If you work hard, you will get whatever you...you cannot even imagine.
Just work hard.
