Ariel Sosa - Anchor Award Winner for March 2011
Ariel is the most responsible and accountable student we have ever had the pleasure to employee. No matter what difficulties he is facing, he always makes sure work is top priority when he is at work. A good example of Ariel’s accountability was a day earlier this year. Ariel had a small crash early in the morning with his car that resulted in a flat tire and the air bag being deployed. He was telling me this story later in the day and I jokingly told him I hope he hadn’t been late to work. He replied that he had only been one minute late as he scrambled to deal with his car and get a ride to work so he wouldn’t be late. He said he knew we were counting on him to open that morning. I wish all my student workers were as responsible and accountable as Ariel!
Congratulations Ariel!
