Wakulla High students inspired by linemen’s visit
Special to The Sun
In an inspiring visit to Wakulla High School, linemen Justin Johnson and George Peddie from the City of Tallahassee left a lasting impact on the 14 Wakulla High students who came to meet them.
Providing an honest depiction of the lineman career and its requirements, these linemen went above and beyond by offering valuable life advice to all the students, whether they aspired to pursue a career in this field or any other path they choose.
The event, organized by Mr. Paul Parker, aimed to introduce students to the linemen profession and shed light on potential career opportunities. And it did not disappoint.
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Peddie, spared no detail in describing the profession, including salary and benefits, and openly shared their personal experiences working with the city. By doing so, they helped the students gain a realistic understanding of what it takes to become a lineman.
Furthermore, the linemen provided invaluable advice to the students on staying on the right track and maintaining a clean driver’s license, as these factors were highlighted as essential prerequisites for a successful career in this field.
Throughout the visit, the students exhibited exceptional attentiveness and respect, which was reciprocated by the linemen. The mutual appreciation was evident as the students took the initiative to thank the visitors and shook their hands when they arrived and left.
Speaking about the event, Mr. Parker expressed his pride in Justin Johnson and George Peddie for their exceptional representation of the organization. Their dedication to providing an honest portrayal of the lineman career and their commitment to helping shape the future generation was commendable.
Wakulla High School is thankful to have presentations which undoubtedly left a lasting mark on our War Eagles.
