Computer Support Specialist My Customer Service Class Helped Me to be Patient for My Passenger By Tadesse Feleke O ne day after I completed my Customer Service Cass at Carlos Rosario Public Charter School a male passenger flagged his hand on 1200 Pennsylvania Av NW and I stopped my cab at the corner for him. But instead of opening the door and getting into the cab, he started doing something on his smart phone. When I said “Come in, Sir”, I didn’t get any response. I said to myself, “What is he Digital photography. By Arturo McFields. doing? Is he playing with me? I should leave. He is wasting my time.” But suddenly I remembered what I learned in my Customer Service Class and I changed my mind by saying to myself again, he could be a deaf person. I kept waiting even though other drivers put a lot of pressure on me to go. Finally, the passenger came to the front side of the passenger window and when I opened the window for him, he held out his hand with his smart phone and showed me his destination on his phone screen with his request “Could you take me to Gallaudet University on 800 Florida Av NE?” I said OK and he entered and I took him to his destination. This is just one example of many benefits which I got by educating myself with help of Carlos Rosario Public Charter School. Teacher: Ceballos, AM 39
