ANEESAH DAVIS: You have a choice to be here or not be here. The choice for me to just actually just stay here is just, I love it. I love it here to be honest and the opportunities that it allowed me to have and grow. That's basically why I choose to stay here. SONORA HOWSON: My favorite part is probably the people I work with. I mean I'm interested in the procedures and I feel like we do a lot of good. But like the thing that has me excited to come back every day is just that I work with such an incredible team. Really talented people and it feels like a family. I know that's like kind of trite to say but it does feel like that. ALVIN MANIGAULT: One of the things I was really impressed with my time being at UH, just from a managerial and leadership perspective, I think they do a phenomenal job. My leadership specifically in terms of just being involved and engaged and also listening as well to matters, issues or concerns and then working to establish some type of implementing change. I think subsequently for me as an employee, it really makes me feel as if I'm heard, my voice is heard and that also my perspective can have an impact on the overall overarching picture as well.
