Gerry, who is now a guy in his 60s, was once just a young child trying to make his way in the world; everyone has to decide the best way for them to receive a living and have the dignity that goes along with earning their way through life.
- Unfortunately, Gerry was actually not the world’s greatest academic student in high school, and after graduation he unquestionably didn’t guess what to do with himself.
And then, one random day, he remembered that one of his lecturers had advocated to him that he could start reading a trade such as plumbing or heating and A/C; since he was more interested in “being cool” than in “actually working in shit,” Gerry applied to the tech center’s heating and A/C course of study, and once he passed the state’s heating and A/C certification exam, he was able to land a task with a pretty good heating and cooling company, but he worked diligently for them and was a diligent employee. The heating and A/C purchasers all seemed to all have a soft spot for Gerry, as well. They enjoyed it when he came to their homes to fix their oil furnaces and air conditioners. He was thoughtful and respectful and didn’t ever waste their time. He got right to his job on the air conditioner, and most of the time he could figure out what the problem was pretty quickly. The owners of the heating and A/C company took notice; Gerry joined the labor union and met other heating and A/C workers around the state. They all took notice of Gerry’s hard work, as well, but as a result of his good reputation with other heating and A/C professionals and the heating and A/C purchasers, Gerry moved up the ladder and got additional responsibility and a few pay raises.
