Wildcat Worker of the Week

Miguel

Name: Miguel
Age: 17
Years at TSBVI: 10
Dream Job: Working in a hotel doing Laundry or Housekeeping.
Current job: I clean in Dorm K, the Rec. Building, and the Vocational Building. I work two days a week. I take out trash from different rooms. I vacuum, spray and wipe windows. I use gloves, and paper towels when cleaning windows.

I sort of like the job. I think its great to go to different buildings and not do the same thing over and over.
