I recently received a review of my Drafting classes from the mother of a former student. Thank you Danielle for the kind words!
Drafting 1 - As a parent who taught high school for ten years before home schooling my own kids, I still struggled with my son’s learning style. His slow steady approach to life was frustrating and his lack of excitement for achievement left me with the feeling he would never find a class, let alone a career, that filled him with passion. He loves to draw so Mr. Murray’s Drafting 1 course was an answer to prayers. My son bloomed, even with his slow steady style, under Mr. Murray’s understanding direction. The need to achieve understanding and perfection (100% on assignments) before moving on were a blessing which opened his eyes to details and the need to be precise. After this first course, he is talking college and a future that, before, seemed to be just a way to get by in life. The possibilities are opening up!
Drafting 2 - All I can say is wow! This step by step course in designing and all the intricacies of building a house… just wow! This was really fun to watch and made me want to jump in and learn too. My son was excited and would come get me to see what he had done in each lesson. By the end of this course, he has a set of blue prints to build a house which he showed to a contractor friend who was pretty impressed. He even recommended a few people in the business who may need an AutoCad guy!
Drafting 3 - This was the course my son was waiting for. He jumped right in and only asked me to help him out a few times. He is now independent on the AutoCad program, creating his own images and bringing them to life in three dimensions. Challenging, but so much fun. To see my son grow up over the past year of this course has been amazing. His dedication and love for this is only compounded with knowing that he will be attending the University next year to continue this study. He asked if he could have a 3D printer for Christmas. We have created a big, beautiful, bold monster, that I adore. Thank you Mr. Murray for being there when my son needed extra guidance along the way. Thank you for calling us from across America to make sure he really understood something before moving on. Your guidance has been invaluable and a blessing to his future.
Ok, I know I am gushing… but you really do deserve it. Thank you!!!
