-Mary Borchers
It may sound like an oxymoron, but our 5’-11” administrative
assistant Mary is afraid of heights. And not just the looking-over-the-edge-of-the-Empire-State-Building
kind of heights. She’s even nervous when climbing a stepstool to hang some
signage at the office.
When facing our fears at Choice One, we certainly go at it
head first (I mean, that stepstool Mary is on is a good two and a half feet
off the ground). But in all seriousness, even if we each face our personal
fears in baby steps, we collectively commit to helping each other when things
get tough. When an individual makes a mistake, we all take responsibility for the
failure. There is no “I” in the Choice One Team. Well, except for the “i” after
the “o” in “Choice,” but you get the idea.
Taking baby steps is easier when you have friends to catch
you if you fall. Mary may never overcome her fear of heights (apparently
spiders freak her out too), but at least she knows that if she stumbles, all of
us at Choice One will be here to catch her. Or at least point and laugh before
helping her up.
