One of the experience that HAS marked me throughout this process of automotive mechanics was in this last module when we were building electrical circuits and a colleague did not realize that when WE WERE connecting the circuit to the multi-outlet in the CLASSroom/ WORKSHOP the cables were going to overheat and They were obviously going to burn. AT the end, they did not disconnect the circuit, smoke began to come out of all its components and I had to put out the fire with my foot.

As if that were not enough, they also damaged the power strip and briefly THEY turned off the entire warehouse with a switch the size of a pencil cutter. We were all laughing at what had happened including the teacher. DEFINITELY, It IS a funny experience to remember and always keep in mind.

A day in automotive mechanic class, the teacher asked us for some materials to make some circuits in class. We started with the circuits and when we we're testing them in the 110V, we made a short film and left the classroom without light for a moment. Then we thought that we dices the circuit and when we tested it again we made Made a electric chock and y burned the circuit componentes.

My studies were carried out from 2006 to 2016 at the COLEGIO PSICOPEDAGOGICO TAPSANDES WHERE I STAYED from second grade to eleventh grade. I liked every part of my time at school. It was ACQUIRING A LOT OF knowledge. I learned, I laughed, I cried, I travelLed, I met many people, every day was a new experience. I thank TO my father Rubén Darío Noreña Roncancio and TO my mother Maria Graciela Jaramillo Paz Because of their support, their company, and the ENCOURAGE me to complete my studies since they were always there, I also achieved commemorations, first places, and DIFFERENT recognitionS from the institution.

Anecdote

I was in the workshop carrying out a diagnosis on a motorcycle in the workshop where I work. After doing certain diagnostics and WE DID NOT find the fault, I MADE a diagnosis in the power system when I saw that there was no spark in the high wire system. I askED the technician to perform a current test. The technician performs the same test and I was electrocuted by the current that circulates through the high-voltage cables. It was a moment of laughter because the current shock was hard. Which left us with a great experience and in another diagnostic to do it in a different way and not get electrocuted.

In my free time I like to watch movies and series and sleep a lot. On the weekends I go biking with my daughter, I watch soccer games on TV and we go out to lunch at my parents' or my father-in-law's place.

MY ANECDOTE IS WHEN We were in electricity class with THE Professor Eduardo Malagon making a high and low beam circuit following the steps of the electrical diagram for this type of circuit. In the previous day's class we had tried to make the circuit and it was not possible to make it work because we did not have the connectors and what we did was to join the wires manually and we COMMIT several errors in the connections to the relays, plus the fuses we had damaged which we identified by testing with the multimeter.

In conclusion for the next day we decided to use another diagram that a classmate gave us and based on the components we already had: 2 LED bulbs (high and low), half a meter of red wire and half a meter of black wire, 2 fuses, 2 relays, 2 sockets, one (1) 2-position switch and several male and female connectors (copper), my group made step by step the assembly of the circuit. Once we had assembled the whole circuit Miguel Angel went to the classroom for the Automotive Battery to verify that the circuit worked well.

FINALLY, When Miguel arrived with the battery he connected the black wire to the negative of the battery and I connected the red wire to the positive of the battery without any protection in the hands, immediately the circuit shorted and each of us felt through our hands an electric shock that made us jump and let out a couple of swear words, and we learned that although the voltage for this type of circuits is very low, we must always but always use personal protective equipment (gloves) to avoid these dangerous situations.

THE Last year in the first module WHEN we were disassembling the rear brakes of a spark and Hernan was installing a spring and he hit me with the spring and cut my finger.

One day in a practical class, my classmates and me were doing a compression socket to an engine, our teacher came with us and helped us, but when we were checking the compression on the pistons, he said "be careful with your eyes" and then, he said that, I poke out to the engine and a piece of toilet paper flew out of the engine and hit me in the eye, it was painful but also funny.

[11:58 p. m., 27/5/2024] ALEX: Anecdote in the second module of automotive mechanics, suspension and steering, my car had a fault in the morning and it was a sound in the left tire and when I got to class I was worried and I told the case to Professor Eduardo and he told me that it was nothing serious and I became more worried and decided to investigate on my own that it was an engine mount. Due to this, I did not take the car again because I thought the car was going to fall apart, so the teacher often asked me what had happened to the car and I I told him that I was waiting to advance further in the topic to have more confidence and I decided to take him to the institute once again and in the workshop between the two of us we discovered the problem and it was a buffer because of this the teacher always comments on the topic in a funny way in class

Beyond automotive mechanics and soccer, I also have a special fondness for spaghetti, a dish that has always accompanied me during the simplest and happiest moments. I love the speed and design of cars, appreciating both classic models and the most modern ones. Personal relationships are also important to me; I value the company of women, cherishing deep conversations and shared experiences. In summary, my life has been shaped around these passions, giving me a unique perspective and a constant purpose.

NOW, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU MY ANECDOTE: One day, I was working on a friend's car that had a peculiar problem: it wouldn't stop honking. Every time he turned the key, the horn blared WAS STOPPED, causing a commotion in the neighborhood., SO, HE DeCIDED to fix it, I BREAK INTO the task WITH THE CONFIDENCE that I could resolve the issue.

After checking the usual suspects—fuses, wiring, and the horn itself I found nothing wrong. I decided to call it a day and went to bed, leaving the car's hood open. The next morning, as I approached the car, I noticed a squirrel darting out from under the hood. It turned out that the squirrel had built a cozy nest right on top of the horn's wiring, chewing through it and causing a short circuit. FINALLY, Once I relocated the little guy and repaired the wiring, the car stopped honking incessantly. My friend was grateful, and we all had a good laugh about the "squirrel mechanic" who almost stole my job!
