Hi there my name is Josie Fletcher, I am honored to have Received this scholarship! I am attending WWCC for the welding program. My future goal is to graduate as a certified welder as well as obtaining my CDL license while in college. I plan to travel the United States as a pipe line welder, I want to travel and expand my knowledge in the welding industry. My end goal is to go back to school after 5 or more years of traveling to become a welding instructor. I want to inspire young men and woman to join the trades just as I am. I never imagined myself being the type of girl to want to join the trades let alone welding. When I was 14 I was gifted a 1940 chevy truck in pieces. It was my dream truck, I have spent the last 4 years restoring it with my dad as well as taking welding classes in high school. Through that experience I realized how much I love to weld and to do fabricating projects. I hope to one day inspire young woman and show them that they can do whatever they put their mind to.
