"There is not just one extraordinary story that comes to mind when speaking about Janet Smetter . . ."

Sick days and snow days don't apply to Direct Support Professional Janet Smetter. She's a trooper. Once, during a snow storm she fell on some ice and lost a tooth, but wouldn't miss work with the people she served.

"Her supervisor told her that she could have called in and said she couldn't come to work. Janet said she didn't want to let anyone down or put anyone in a bind."
