In the short time we spent at Unitek, we learned so much more than we thought we would. There were happy moments, sad moments, joyful moments, and moments of frustration, but as a class, we became family and endured all those feelings together. We overcame everything because we all knew why we were there and that we wanted to succeed. After all the hard work, dedication, and sleepless nights, we finally made it.
