November Student of the Month

Congratulations to the FVCC

November Students of the Month!

According to their respective instructors:

“Misael takes all assignments seriously and works very professionally in my class.  I always know that Misael is working on something and using his time wisely.  He consistently rises to the challenge of whatever project we are working on.  I appreciate the fact that he never gives up.”

“Mohamud takes all assignments seriously and works very professionally in my class.  I always know that Mohamud is working on something and using his time wisely.  He works well with others and is extremely reliable and responsible.  Mohamud likes to take our class projects and extend them, doing more advanced work and impressing everyone.”

“Students nominated Sean Spaetzel as November Student of the Month for always being positive, helpful, and creating strong designs.  I have noticed a big difference in Sean’s approach to design and pushing himself to manage customer relations and improving his work.”

“Nick has gone above and beyond what is expected of an Auto II student this year.  He is possibly my most dedicated student.  He also won 1^st place in the regional SkillsUSA contest.  He is the type of person who will be successful at whatever he puts his mind to.”

“Tyler is one of the nicest students I have ever met.  He is always willing to help others in the class and never complains when asked to do something.  He is genuinely interested in the material and always asks questions to help his understanding.  He brings in projects to work on and always jumps at the chance to work on a project that I bring in.  That kind of attitude and ethic will take him very far in this business.”

“Nicole is a great student.  She is hard working and has a great ability to stay focused on task.  She turns all assignments in and goes above and beyond helping in group assignments.  She comes to class with a positive attitude and an open mind to learn.  A pleasure to have in class!”

“Ken Wahab has been identified by his instructors and peers as Fire Science II Student of the Month for demonstrating strengths in the areas of:  character, attitude and disposition; respectfulness; class attendance; hands-on participation; leadership and responsibility; extracurricular activities (FVCC Fire Science Newsletter); fire service spirit; academics; good work ethic; and conduct.  The FVCC Fire Science program recognizes these characteristics as essential traits for future employment in today’s fire service.”

“Anthony Carlini has been identified as Fire Science I Student of the Month by his instructors as and peers for demonstrating strengths in the areas of:  character, attitude and disposition; respectfulness; class attendance; hands-on participation; leadership and responsibility; extracurricular activities; fire service spirit; academics; good work ethic; and conduct.  The FVCC Fire Science program recognizes these characteristics as essential traits for future employment in today’s fire service.”

“Sam always comes to class prepared and ready to learn.  He also participates in all class activities and does a great job of doing his daily checks on the equipment.  He took the initiative to set up and make a checklist for the “jump” bag to respond to emergencies.”

“CeCe is a very bright young lady that is excelling academically in EMT class.  She is an excellent student, and she is a pleasure to have in class.”

“Leo is one of the hardest workers in the classroom.  When others may be distracted, he is quietly pulling ahead.  He is extremely good at helping other students.  I don’t know what I’d do without him in this class.  He not only does his own work on time and with excellent results, but he also helps others every single day.”

“Johnny Franco was nominated by his peers as Student of the Month for his awesome design technique, hard work, focus, kindness, and sharing his voice in class.  I’m excited that Johnny is such a big part of the Graphics community.  He puts forth such a strong effort in everything he does; his input and critiques are honest and constructive.  His approach to learning and his peers will really make his future bright!”

“Ben has taken on some very difficult projects in class and has always finished them successfully.  He has great attendance and gets along well with his fellow students.  He is not afraid to ask for help but always tries to solve the problem himself.  He participates in shop cleanup, doing more than his share of the work.  He has some plans for bringing in some big projects, and I am excited for the challenge.”

“Caitlyn is an incredibly talented and intelligent young woman.  She is excelling in PBS and producing amazing quality of work.  She displays a high level of critical thinking skills.  Her work is always neat, complete and thorough.  She is always polite and courteous to me and others in class.”
