I know it sounds naive and maybe even a bit stupid, but I didn’t go to HVAC certification school because no one told me what the HVAC stood for.
- I’m not sure if they thought I was kidding when I asked them why they used initials? I didn’t know and I wanted an explanation of what I was signing up for.
The men who were at the HVAC booth were clowning around with the guys who were standing there, and may have thought I was with one of them. I was sure I didn’t look like the type of girl who would hang around with jocks. After standing there for almost ten minutes, one of the men offered me an application, but he was laughing when he handed it to me. I went home and told dad how condescending the guys were at the job fiar, and told him what happened at the HVAC desk. He told me what HVAC stood for. When he said it was heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, I felt as stupid as I must have been acting. Why didn’t they say it was furnace and air conditioning repair. I had never heard the acronym before, and all I wanted to know was what it stood for. I still want to sign up for classes so I can work on furnaces and air conditioning units, and next time I’ll know to sign up for HVAC. No one will deter me from my mission, regardless of how stupid they think I am. I will be an HVAC technician, now that I know what they do.
