For the past two months, Ms. Victoria Burge, one of Pueblo’s most beloved campus security monitors, took a break due to medical issues. Finally, on April 1, 2015, she returned.
Though it was a struggle coming back, she said that she is very excited to continue her Pueblo career for the rest of the year in better health.
“I fought to get back to you guys, but that’s how bad I wanted to be back,” said Burge.
Upon Victoria’s return, many students welcomed her back with hugs and warm greetings.
“When I was gone, some of the students decided to draw me pictures, and they got sent right to my mailbox,” said Burge. “As I opened these cards, I sat by my mailbox and cried my eyes out realizing how much I needed to return.”
Victoria’s return confirms that she is not retiring any time soon.
“During the beginning of the year, I promised the freshman class that I would stay for all of their four years they were here, and to watch them graduate. I keep my promises.”
She paused and said, “Pueblo has stolen my heart.”
