ON WHAT I THOUGH WAS A WHIM, I DEICIDED TO TRAIN AS AN AUTO TECHNICIAN AT SANTA FE COLLEGE IN GAINESVILLE FLORIDA. WITH OVER 30,000 PARTS, THE AUTOMOBILE HAS REVEALED ITSELF AS THE ULTIMATE PUZZLE FOR MY INSATIBALE CURIOSITY . ONE PART CAREER PIVOT, TWO PARTS REALATIONAL ASTHETICS, AND A DOLLUP OF PATRIARCAL SYSTEMS, I AM THE LONE WOMAN (AND IDENTIFIABLY BLACK PERSON) IN MY COHORT. AS IT STANDS, AN EVOLVING PHILOSOPHY IS EMERGING FROM MY CLASS NOTES/STUDY GUIDES/SHOP WORK, WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE. I’VE FOUND THAT AN EXPLODED DIAGRAM CAN BE EXTREMELY INSPIRING…

IN OTHER NEWS, I’VE GOT TOOL SETS, IMPACT DRILLS, STORAGE CARTS, MULTIMETERS, AND SCAN TOOLS TO ADD TO MY ARSENAL. IF YOU’RE SO INCLINED, PLEASE DONATE TO THIS PURSUIT VIA GOFUNDME.

WITH GRATITUDE,
