Meet
Rene Martinez from Pahokee, Florida
In November of 2007 many of us at National
Training had the pleasure to meet Rene.
Rene was one of those students when you
meet them you know is something special.
The word we got from our instructors were
nothing but positive and the mention of
his name made them smile a bit which is
hard to get them to do sometimes.
Rene's story is an inspiring story of a
young man that had a goal and a dream and
succeeded. Rene succeeded because he remained
enthusiasitic about his goals and knew he
could achieve them if he kept his focus.

Rene's story in his own words...enjoy.
"Hello
my name is Rene Martinez. I was born in
Mexico and came to the U.S.A. when I was
9 yrs. Old. First of all what got me into
heavy equipment was in 2006 when I was working
for USDA planting cane for experiments and
they were using a huge tractor to pull the
cane. While working in the hot sun I was
given a hat to help keep me cool. I took
a look at the tractor operator sitting there
in the air-conditioning. A few minutes later
I came to the conclusion that I could operate
that machine.
A few more days went by and I saw more and
more pieces of heavy equipment and I said
to myself again “I have to do that
and do it good”. So here I am because
I knew I could it, but not without the instructors
showing me what I didn’t know.
So I would like to give the instructors
of National Heavy Equipment Operator School
a special thank you and to all of my classmates…good
luck."

What Rene's Instructors
thought.
"Rene
was very enthusiastic both in the class
and in the field. He showed strong willingness
to absorb all the information he was given
and put it to use. Any critique was met
with a change of operation exactly like
he was instructed too.
I am personally very proud of Rene for exceeding
even my standards and expectations. Rene
is an exceptional student/operator and person.
Congratulations and good luck with your
career—you’re already a success."
