Your Everyday Hero: Harold C.

Hi, this story is about my school janitor who is always working around my school no matter what the weather or if he's sick. He still comes to work; even when we have a snow day or it's a holiday. He still shows up. But people at my school really don't understand just how much he does for my school and church! His wife died about three years ago, yet he still comes. Someone stole his wife's Bible he had, and it contained all her important papers. He'll probably never see it again, but I told him I'd try my hardest to find it for him. His job involves cleaning up after us kids, putting out the lunch tables for lunch, sweeping the floor, shoveling snow in the winter, and helping with checking in the bus attendance at our church. He's really a great person. He even helps me with my homework. Plus when he gets hurt at work, we try to get him to take a break and go to the doctor, but he says he doesn't want to leave his job! And that's the story of Mr. C. my janitor.
