By Shelly THE JOB IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT

In times of hardship, a feel-good story may be exactly what you need to make it through another tough day. And during a time when coming together and helping one another is that much harder, a story about community could go a long way. One bus driver for an elementary school in Dallas, Texas, makes the most of his role by creating a job he loves and turning a typically mundane time of day into one that kids look forward to. Every day, Curtis Jenkins could simply perform the job required of him: Drive the bus, pick kids up, and drop them off. But instead, he cares about these kids so much that he goes beyond transportation. During each school year, Jenkins makes an effort to get to know each of his kids. He has conversations with them, learns about their hopes and aspirations, and even assigns them meaningful duties during

their rides. For holidays and birthdays, he takes time to buy gifts for every child out of his own pocket, and each gift is carefully chosen based on the child as he’s gotten to know them. He says their gratitude and excitement is his real salary. But if you ask any child on his bus why they enjoy their time with Jenkins so much, none of them will tell you it’s because of the stuff he gives them. Rather, it’s because he’s a caring adult who takes genuine interest in who they are, how they’re growing, and what they need. He’s there for them in ways that other adults sometimes can’t be. At AZCOMP, there’s no better way to label Curtis Jenkins and all he stands for than our core value “We Care About the One.” When we think collectively about what we do, whether that’s our jobs, volunteer work, or supporting one another emotionally, there’s no limit to the good we can create.
