My husband used to be a mechanic. He loves to work on cars, and he is passing his knowledge down to Ryan. Whenever Junior is under the hood of a car, Ryan is right there beside him, watching every move he makes. Recently, Junior has started to allow Ryan to actually help him. He will tell him which wires or bolts or things to remove, and Ryan loves doing it. It makes him feel so important.
Junior's friend does body work. He repairs dents and does car painting, and Ryan loves going to his shop and watching him work, too. If you ask Ryan what he wants to go to college for, he will tell you he doesn't want to go to college, he wants to go to trade school and work in the collision repair service industry. I think he will be really good at it, because it is something that he really enjoys doing. I am slowly talking him into taking car repair and body work classes at our community college, because these days, with cars being computerized, he will have to know more than how to tighten bolts and bump out dents. I even think there is a program through the high school where he can begin his training. I am so proud that he knows what he wants to do in life, and has thought about it enough to know what steps to take.
