I recently had a student who needed to fast track his education by staying late to attempt to complete all his required class and lab assignments. The area he was training in was his weakest point in the automotive field. This young man had the thoughts of leaving school to go train for his military duties he would soon be expected to perform as well. So, with an active military assignment and his current class assignments, hw had already started to expect the worst case outcome from fast tracking his education. Together him and I stayed after class late and helped him to get a better understanding of the area he was training in, with the one on one help, we found that even with the military duties and the fact that this was his worst area of expertise, we were able to get him through it, and in turn, just a little caring went along way, and the student scored very high on his written test and he performed very well on his hands on lab task. This being said he was able to leave for military duties with hopefully as clear of a mind set as we helped him with in class.
