There are really not enough words to describe the experiences I had with Four County EMC but I’ll give it a try in this blog post. \u00a0I didn’t know what to expect on the first day as I am the type of person who is little shy at first till I get to know you…funny that I’m a teacher. \u00a0Anyways I knew at the end of the first day I was going to have one of the best experiences of my life. \u00a0A lot of people, including myself, don’t understand everything that goes on to running power to your house. \u00a0We take flipping that light switch and lights working for granted. I got to learn how power is provided from when the phone call comes in from a member to the power line being connected to the house. \u00a0Everyone I got to work with was beyond nice and welcoming. I got to climb poles, set poles, dig a trench which is much harder then it looks. I got to go up in the bucket several times to see how it is to work up in the air. And I got to experience how hot it really is in North Carolina in July…let me tell you it is HOTTTT which is why I have a whole new appreciation for the guys who do this job.<\/p>\n

During my time at Four County they set up a schedule that would let me experience everything single job that is done behind the scenes. \u00a0I like to joke I was the most well rounded employee they had, lol. Little did I know they would even let me experience a power outage as a member. \u00a0One weekend during my time with Four County we had some bad thunderstorms roll through the community in which I live. \u00a0Long story short a HUGE limb fell on the power line and snapped it. Seeing the fast response to get my power back on made me proud to be a member of Four County. As a teacher I would not be able to experience anything like this without the Kenan program. \u00a0I can’t wait till the video comes out that documents a little glimpse of my experiences with Four County. \u00a0Till then here are a few pictures so show some of the stuff I got to do.<\/p>\n
