Dennis Vakulchik, Lynnwood High School

Carpentry Program

Mother’s name: Svetlana Bagnovets

Father’s name: Yuriy Vakulchik

Instructor: Scott Hammond

What this class means to me: This class means a lot to me because I really love to build things with my hands and carpentry comes to me naturally. I am really good at it and this class has expanded my knowledge. This class is a really good thing to have because later on in life I would be able to get a job anywhere in the construction field.

How this class has helped me: This class has really helped me because every day I learn something new and or a better way to do something I already know. This class has taught me everything I need to know to be able to repair my house. Or for that matter just to have a second job to fall back on if my first job does not work out.

Future career: Take over my dad’s construction business and then later open up my own car mechanic shop.
