Congratulations...But things like "I rule", "go meee", and "give me some props every one", isn't the attitude you need to be taking after passing one welding test. And, passing one test does not show your level of intelligence, only that you passed one test to a Code you don't know of. Be humble and don't throw too many accolades upon yourself. At 17, and knowing how to read any weld symbol (believe me, you haven't seen all the weld symbols out in the real world), and knowing how to weld in TIG, MIG, FCAW (how about SMAW, which is the first thing you are taught in most welding schools) is good, but realize you are only at the tip of the ice berg when it comes to welding. Mainly, be HUMBLE, not a braggart. Try to realize how much your don't know, and not center on the little you do know at this stage of your career. This is not to criticize your post, but I've seen many young men pass a test and then get shot down by thinking they know it all. Take your time and listen to the guys that have been doing this for many years.
