She also buses tables, hostess, and talks about the School to people. l'm learning management and orga- nization from my job, she stated. Her overall opinion of her job is: lt's hard manual labor when we get busy, but the people we meet makes it fun and interesting. We are learn- ing how to work as a team here.
