Last week, I was the guest speaker for my daughter’s class.
Her professor sent household a letter to all the parents, asking for volunteers to speak about their works. I didn’t feel anything of it until my wifey suggested that I go. I’ve been an Heating, Ventilation plus A/C specialist for over 20 years, although I didn’t feel the kids in her class would want to know anything about heating and air. When I expressed this to my wifey, she helped me see a different side. My wifey thought it would be a good learning opportunity, because kids didn’t learn about heating and air on a normal basis. They could experience a boiling or frosty room, however not have any idea why the air around them felt a particular way… Once she 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 simpler terms for children. My daughter’s face lit up when she saw me walk into her classroom in my Heating, Ventilation plus A/C uniform. I spent time explaining how the air in their classroom was 71 degrees, because that’s what their professor set their control equipment to. The control equipment on the wall is what decided how boiling or frosty their room felt. Then, I explained how a furnace produced boiling air and the a/c produced cool air. The kids were enamored by my Heating, Ventilation plus A/C work, and they had a lot of questions about boiling and frosty air.
