Mietek Gawron of Wayne and is a senior from Maranacook Community High School in Readfield enrolled in the Automotive Technology program for the second year.
He decided to take the program for a second year because he has liked how the program allows him to learn by actually doing and having real life experiences. When he is not in school, he can be found working on one of his four vehicles that he owns.

The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative board approved 25 proposals that will provide more than $3.3 million in scholarships for Colorado students, including funds to Colorado Mountain College students.
The money will match locally fundraised scholarship dollars one-to-one during the first round of awards for 2020-2021. This funding will support more than 2,349 students across the state. The scholarships are multi-year awards ranging from $500 to $15,000, depending on the program and a student’s financial need. Most students will receive the scholarship within the next two to four years.
From South Plains College:
Madelynn Rodriguez of Morton is a freshman in her first semester pursing her Basic Certification in Automotive Collision Repair.
Her father, Marcelo, is a mechanic by trade but he also likes to rebuild classic cars. He wanted me to help carry on the family business, she said. I have always been pretty artistic. I ve always liked drawing and painting. In high school I was in a lot of art competitions. And I participated in art quite a bit. So, he just automatically knew that I was already talented in this area.
Rodriguez said last year she attended a Senior Sneak at SPC where she encountered a female student who was in the collision repair program. Following their conversation, Rodriguez said she felt the program would be a good opportunity for her.
