A WAVS welding graduate visits the Bissau campus to encourages students and staff

Welding graduate Amarildo Mendes stopped by the Bissau campus recently to thank his teachers and share about the impact the school has had on his life.

“I’d like to tell the school thank you very much because of the opportunities I have now and the ones I’ll have in the future,” Mendes said. “It’s because of the school that I have them. If not for this school, I wouldn’t be able to earn what I need to follow my dreams.

Mendes continued: “There’s one quote that I would always see from John Kennedy that says ‘Don’t ask what your country can do for you, rather ask what you can do for your country.’ The quote is one that’s impacted me and so I’ve adopted it for myself. It’s not important to focus on what others have or haven’t done for me – it’s important to focus on what I can do to make a change.”
