Editing my first year of metal
#metaal #studeren #eerstejaar At the beginning of September I started a new education. A whole new one. Something I'd never really done before. With my high sensitivity and incentives, many were persuading me to think carefully before I would do this. The graphic lyceum in Utrecht did not become him. Every Thursday, my fiancé had a period of time, and since I was in the neighborhood, I was always there. He's in mechatronics engineering. A lot of teachers recognized me as the girlfriend. In March 2019 I came by for an intake interview and a day in practice. The teachers recognized me when I came in and were quite surprised that a girl came in. That day I learned to sign off, centering, soldering and welding a little. I really liked it and focused on this training. Metal machining.
I came into a class with six guys. They all seemed very experienced with words and tools. I didn't know what everything meant, but I knew how to do something. I became very good at theory and technical drawing. Before practice, I could still be afraid not to know what to do or do things wrong. I knew a lot of machines were very dangerous and I was afraid of losing something or getting hurt.
In the beginning of the year we got the chance to obtain a VCA certificate. Another thing that was very difficult for me. I barely knew what all the words meant, and it was too much information. I didn't pass this exam three times, so I didn't get it. My mentor was pretty worried about how scared I could be and how sensitive. He got the feeling that this education wasn't for me. We looked for a study coach together that I could find it well with and have been able to tell a lot. As a result, my mentor was able to understand and understand that I show a lot of commitment and can get far with some help. Also my theory teachers came to me a little more often to help if they thought something was wrong. My mentor and I visited a construction company together so I could take a good look at everything. I still wanted to do it. We continued to look at what help I could get. I've had failure fear training for a while which didn't help so well and Madam from the SSC. She was able to help me get a modified schedule so I could get some rest from my stimuli.
In early 2020, things started to get a lot better. I saw my coach less and I was a little more in practice. I learned a lot more and began to like it much more. Especially in those shoes with steel noses and a dust coat I felt a little more confident. I knew how to use everything and how everything worked. My teachers even say that I'm a little better than everyone else because I'm perfectionist. I need to have everything exactly on the millimetre right and that is also very important in the metal. My classmates have always been nice. I don't really have friends and I certainly don't see people my age. I also found this very difficult. I noticed that I could speak well to my teachers about everything.
Exactly when I was all around, we were no longer allowed to go to school. Corona was too close and we had to lockdown. For two months, I've barely been able to work at school. Sometimes some homework but not much else I could do. I knew we'd have seven weeks of internship in May, and I'd be helped with a place. Corona made me worry that this wouldn't work. Actually, I was also afraid that I would never keep this up or save it. New people, new territory, all-day practice. I was terrified of it. The company we were looking for didn't want interns until September, so that didn't become him. Later, my mentor sent a name and number. I thought calling was terrified. Still, I did it and I could come by the next day. I came to see the company the next morning.
It was messy, cozy and just right for me. Not too many people worked and the workplace wasn't too big. She made a lot of things and used a lot of machines I already knew.
I could explain that I can absorb a lot of incentives that could take me out so I don't have to make whole days. When I think it's okay, I can just go. They're helping me well and they've been able to teach me a lot this first week. Now I have to do an internship for six weeks before my first year is officially over. I've changed a lot this year. I really hate my VCA, but I can take away all the negative. I can adapt well and like everything and good to do. I have a striking red everywhere that gave me the nickname “Lady in Red.”
My father had an installation company. I could probably have learned a lot from him if he was still around. I hope he can be proud.
