Feathers, Fins, and Fettuccine: A Compass Client Story

By Shannon Laird, ILS Facilitator

Compass & Cooking

I am excited to introduce Jesus  to our Compass community!! Jesus has been with Compass since 2020, and this is one amazing fella. Jesus has some special talents and a few of them are cooking and creating YouTube content. Jesus has always wanted to create cooking videos and has found a platform that will reach many people from all over. Some of Jesus’s legendary dishes originated from southern Italy in a town called Naples. One of them is made from thin noodles, savory meats and a rich sauce.  It can be made with either Marinara or a cream sauce. Jesus Prefers making his dish with the Marinara sauce and adding fresh parmesan for exquisite taste. Hopefully one day you will be lucky enough to satisfy your taste buds with Jesus’s special recipe.

Birding

Another secret I will share with you is Jesus’s love for birds, particularly doves. I would say that he is  a bird enthusiast, which are also known as birders. Did you know that birds have a special role in the ecosystem and play an important part in environmental balance! Jesus’s passion for birds is more then just a hobby. He has multiple cages set up in his home and takes extremely good care of his feathered friends. But birds are not the only animals that interests Jesus . He can also be called a fish enthusiast! That is right – Jesus has mini aquariums set up in his home. Setting up and maintaining a fish tank involves careful attention to things like water quality, temperature, and the specific needs of different species. For Jesus this provides a sense of responsibility and patience. Others can appreciate the soothing presence of a well-kept aquarium because it provides a tranquil escape from daily stress and creates a serene environment.

Rocking his new job

Recently Jesus was able to land a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant. Some people would say that does not sound exciting but working as a dishwasher in a restaurant is a demanding yet essential role that forms the backbone of the kitchen operation. This job involves more than just cleaning dishes; it requires efficiency, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. dishwashers ensure that all kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, and cookware are thoroughly sanitized and ready for use, maintaining the hygiene standards crucial to food safety. Overall, working as a dishwasher builds a solid foundation in teamwork. Jesus is rocking his position and loving it.
