This kid works hard but boy does he ever love to play hard too!
Since finishing his initial trades schooling 5+ years ago, Jacob has spent more than 9000 hours working full-time learning so many new and valuable skills through on-the-job, hands-on training (and has also been afforded the opportunity to build his own personal portfolio as well with the countless side gigs he does in his free time). In addition to working, Jacob also attended 3 separate in-school training sessions spread out over the last few years (covid slowed this process down), each of which were 10 to 12 weeks in length (the final one just finished 2 days ago) in order for him to complete his Apprenticeship program before being eligible to write his journeyman exam and fulfill his dream of becoming a fully licensed Electrician soon.
But before that last stage of his journey begins, he leaves today on a two-month, well-earned adventure-of-a-lifetime.
Science tells us that people who work hard and play hard in life can maintain stronger physical and mental health, stay motivated and be more satisfied with their lives.
Life lesson #1: “make our work and our play indistinguishable.” ~ Simon Sinek
I’m a very anxious Mama Bear today as I’m sure you already figure but I am also just as equally proud as well at all of the hard work you’ve put in and success you’ve achieved over the past 5+ years which have gotten you to where you are today and earned you oodles of playtime.
Keep working and playing hard Jacob and have the best time along your travels. Be safe and don’t forget to send lots and lots of pics (I’ve perfected the art of living vicariously through my children by now).
I love you to the moon and back, forever and a day.
