Q: What were your thoughts when you were selected for the Student Care and Control team?

A: I had already done the drill in 2002 at DAEP, only 60 kids, no problem. Now doing the drill at ROJH, 800-900 kids, I’m nervous.

Q: How long have you prepared for your role on the Student Care and Control team?

A: I have been preparing for 13 years.

Q: What are you nervous about?

A: Losing a kid. I want all my kids and others to be safe.

Q: Why do you think you were selected for this role?

A: I care about the kids here.

Q: What do you think your greatest strengths will be as a team member?

A: To do my job to the best of my ability and to keep all the kids safe.

Q: What is your opinion about the mock disaster drill?
A: Good, we will never know when it’s going to happen. But the teachers have been to many safety training and that is a high priority.

Q: How do you think the drill will go?

A: Good. I have the same goal as I do when I come to work as I do as a team member: to make kids safe.

Q: How do you think the drill will benefit students?

A: I think it will teach and expect them to take drills seriously as if they were real.

Q: Is there anything else I should know?

A: Wear your ID all day every day, especially on Friday [mock disaster day].
