Best of times: “I take great pride in mentoring the kids. I try to instill morals and a sense of responsibility in them, and I tell them about how valuable an education is for moving up and forward in life.”
Worst of times: “When I have to clean up poop.”
Strangest moment on the job: “Two or three times a year, boys will smear poop on the bathroom walls. I think they do it as a dare, but the joke’s on them because they’re the ones picking up poop with their bare hands!”
If he were a superhero, he’d be: “The Flash. If I could expedite my movement, it would make my job easier because I could speedily complete each job and move on faster to the next.”
