In talking to him, you discover how incredibly mature he is for being just 21 years of age.

 Eventually, Fernando would like to pursue a goal of becoming an air traffic controller and is looking into school. He  has recently welcomed a son into his family and has gotten engaged. He is grateful of the opportunities he has received through Job Corps and is excited about his future.
