ASHLEY ORTEGA:
Within the last year,

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:16.329 align:middle line:84%
I changed my major to
mechanical engineering, which is

00:00:16.329 --> 00:00:18.190 align:middle line:90%
why I want to do this program.

00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:20.350 align:middle line:84%
I feel like it's
probably my best

00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:25.390 align:middle line:84%
bet to get the hands-on
experience before I try walking

00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:28.750 align:middle line:84%
into anything that I'm not
experienced with-- especially

00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:32.250 align:middle line:90%
if it's just book experience.

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:33.990 align:middle line:84%
One thing I really
like about the faculty

00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.860 align:middle line:84%
here is that they help us out
a lot, especially when there's

00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:38.730 align:middle line:90%
a lot of confusion.

00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:42.580 align:middle line:84%
With the hands-on portion there,
they have experience themselves.

00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:47.100 align:middle line:84%
So sometimes the
students working

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:51.420 align:middle line:84%
together, we can't all gather,
we can't all figure it out.

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:54.010 align:middle line:90%
They step in and they help us.

00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:56.910 align:middle line:84%
But they don't take
it over for us.

00:00:56.910 --> 00:01:01.440 align:middle line:84%
It's a lot of them applying
their own personal experience.

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:04.239 align:middle line:84%
If I were to tell a future
employer anything about myself,

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.340 align:middle line:90%
I'm a very hardworking person.

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:08.580 align:middle line:90%
I'm dedicated to the team.

00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:14.030 align:middle line:84%
I'm willing to do whatever
it is to get through a task.

00:01:14.030 --> 00:01:16.260 align:middle line:84%
I don't really
think that there's

00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:20.440 align:middle line:84%
anything that could deter me
from accomplishing something.

00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:23.170 align:middle line:84%
If it's given to me,
I'm willing to do it.

00:01:23.170 --> 00:01:25.750 align:middle line:84%
It's just a matter of having
the opportunity at hand.

00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:28.110 align:middle line:84%
It's a learning
experience, and I might not

00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:29.710 align:middle line:90%
have everything that I need.

00:01:29.710 --> 00:01:33.400 align:middle line:84%
But I'm always
willing to work it out

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.250 align:middle line:84%
so that I do have
everything that I need.

00:01:36.250 --> 00:01:39.000 align:middle line:90%
