John Durand Jr
Summary
My name is John Durand Jr and recently gradated high school from Manchester West High School. In high school I was on honor roll for all four years and was also a part of varsity sports including football and lacrosse. In addition I was in NJROTC which is a program that uses the military to teach and instill values of leadership in young students. In NJROTC I was involved in the program for all four years of high school ,and achieved the rank of Cadet Lieutenant. During my last year of NJROTC I was given the position of Executive Officer which is second in command of the whole program. That summer they gave me the opportunity to go to Leadership Academy where I learned the skills of leadership, hard work, discipline, and organization. After high school I am now pursuing a career in electrical line work. I went to Manchester Community College and completed the Electrical Lineman Program. I graduated in the winter of 2021 and also tested for my Commercial Drivers License A which I received at the same time. Now working for Local 104 Union as a Lineman Apprentice. In my free time I participate in multiple men sports leagues and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
