What makes Dustin our Student of the Month? Simple, He is tenacious. He studies late at night and on weekends, putting in an incredible amount of hours. He showed his steadfast determination to get an amazing job and provide for his family when he kept studying instead of asking for a leave of absenc...e when his wife came home from the hospital with their newborn baby. He is pulling incredible double-duty caring for his loved ones and keeping up with his studies. His course progress is proof of his extraordinary efforts. Many of his teachers remember what that was like and wonder aloud, When does this guy sleep? He is hardworking, likable, and proactive. He has a great attitude that will serve him well when he jumpstarts his career, which promises to be as amazing as he is! #vace805 #VUSDstrong #CareerTechEd #JobTraining #vaceCTE
