Unsung Hero #22 – Tsion Kibron, Food & Service Worker at Epicurean & Company
➖➖
“My mom and I moved to the United States last year. She’s having a really tough time adjusting to the culture here. She doesn’t speak English very well and it’s hard for her to find a job. I’m working hard now to help her financially.. Family is very important part of my culture in Ethiopia – we have to support each other. I’m taking sociology classes at Montgomery College and working here as a cashier on the side. Working and going to college at the same time is tough but it is teaching me a lot.. I’ve learned how to manage things by myself –I even pay for my own phone bills and pay for my school! This is my first job and I’ve already learned how to be independent!”
