As an adult, there are many fine childhood memories that I have.
Looking back to a much simpler time, it is amazing how much things have changed.
One of the memories that stick out to me is watching my father repair heating and air conditioning units. You see, he worked as a heating and cooling technician for a HVAC company, and so seeing him repair HVAC devices wasn’t all that uncommon. I remember being utterly fascinated with watching him work on those HVAC machines, and I could easily spend over an hour just observing. I knew for sure that I wanted to become a heating and air conditioning specialist just like him when I grew up, and I made sure to watch and listen closely whenever he was working and trying to teach. There was actually one time he was allowed to bring me to his workplace, and I really got to see what being a heating technician was all about, it was definitely one of my favorite days back then. I remember thinking I definitely wanted to be a cooling tech when I grew up. However, when I hit my teenage years and tried repairing cooling devices myself, I quickly realized that although I have my father’s looks, I don’t have his HVAC talent. I couldn’t repair HVAC machines at all! My dad told me I would improve, but after several months of working, nothing changed. I have kind of grown to dislike working on and repairing things now, and I am glad I didn’t become an A/C worker, although it was fascinating to watch as a kid, things are different now.
