My instructor prepared me for success

My experience was everything I wished for and more. I originally wanted to go to school 2 years ago but couldn’t afford it and didn’t have any resources my school advisor Michelle was so patient with me and every time we got a no she encouraged me to keep trying not to give up on my goal and dreams. Fast forward I finally got the funding situated and I was time to start class. I was able to go to school from home because I worked two jobs at the time. Classroom was full of knowledge and a teacher that gave me nothing but facts and no personal point on to follow what the book tells you. Finished the course in a week. Next it was time to take the yard. When I got to the yard I met SUE !!!!!! The absolute g.o.a.t. I would not have made it past my offsetting with out her patience and attention to how I learn best. Sue was so hand on. She told class not to rush and finish but take learning this movements seriously and know why your doing the movement and how to fix yourself out of a wrong movement. If I had questions which was often and a lot of question I asked we talked about them then we practiced then we got out of the truck to look at how we got there. This will always be a mentor in my life. And I will never forget SUE out of Puyallup Washington I highly recommend this program to everyone I come in contact with because from start to end I got endless support and direction. I didn’t feel like a number or rushed. I felt heard I felt respected I felt like yeah this is exactly where you need to be and I was welcomed. That was so important to me and will forever be grateful that we got this CDL A together. Definitely the biggest win in my whole entire lifeeeeeeeeee!!!! Thanks 160 driving academy keep going keep changing peoples love for trucking into a career. I hope you guys are around for a long time so when I get done with my training over the road I can give back and be a teacher like Sue one day.
