Man I truly love what we do because there are so many different perspectives we learn from. This one made a big impact in my heart and made me see construction work in a new lense. Growing up, Latina,I often heard that if you didn’t pursue higher education, construction was a reliable way to earn a living. I saw this firsthand with my dad, who, despite not knowing English, could still work in construction. I always considered it a backup option. However, working with Mel from Hoffman Construction and Viktoria from on this project really changed my perspective. I’ve gained a newfound respect for those in construction and the trades, recognizing their valuable contributions. This experience has also deepened my pride in my culture. As Latinos we are known for hard work but never did I look at it the way does. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t realize how valuable construction is! If you’re in construction all I can say is thank you! Thank you for building the roof over every building that shelters children, thank you for building those walls that help keep people alive, thank you for spending countless hours in miserable weather conditions just so the project gets done in time for someone to come work in and provide for their families. We are NOTHING without anyone in trades! Thank you Please follow for more information on their mission!..
