Last week, I was the guest speaker for my daughter’s class.
His professor sent apartment a letter to all the parents, asking for volunteers to speak about their jobs.
I didn’t think anything of it until my husband advised that I go. I’ve been an Heating and A/C professional for over 20 years, but I didn’t think the kids in his class would want to know anything about heating and air. When I expressed this to my husband, he helped me see a different side; My husband thought it would be a fantastic learning opportunity, because kids didn’t learn about heating and air on a normal basis. They could experience a warm or cold room, however not have any idea why the air around them felt a certain way! Once he explained this to me, I decided that it would be fun! I put a lot of time into my presentation, because I needed to “dumb down” my message into easyr terms for children. My daughter’s face lit up when he saw me walk into his classroom in my Heating and A/C uniform. I spent time explaining how the air in their classroom was 68 degrees, because that’s what their professor set their temperature control to. The temperature control on the wall is what decided how warm or cold their room felt. Then, I explained how a furnace produced warm air and the air conditioner produced cool air. The kids were enamored by my Heating and A/C job, and they had a lot of questions about warm and cold air.
