“I had a take. The evidence changed my mind.”
Dec left a note
I can explain the circuit and still get lost in the worksheet. We need to look at both things.
College or an apprenticeship?
I’m considering an electrical apprenticeship. I’m still asking questions about the training and the work. It helps when somebody points me to a real person to ask, instead of deciding which path sounds impressive.
A take I’m rethinking
First thoughtI paused, so everyone assumed I did not know.
What I’m asking nowAsk me to explain what I tried. Compare that with the written task before deciding what it means.
That question matters in the case. Hear the other perspectives, look at the material and decide what you can explain.
What would you need to hear or see before agreeing with Dec? Keep one thing you know separate from one thing you are assuming.
