Lazarus Tabanesa Cuban has worked as a waiter for 20 years in the cafeteria of the Faculty of Computer Engineering at Universidade da Coruña, in GaliciaSpain, has been included in this year’s promotion limits based on student demand.
“It was the children’s idea. There were other years when they also asked the administration to include my picture, but before that they wouldn’t allow it and now they do. I have my charm. I say things to the students. I encourage you. For me, going out on the sidelines is more than just a prize, because I go out with kids who are like my own.”Lazaro, 56, admitted in statements to The voice of Galicia.
Tapanes has been living in Spain for 25 years and for more than two decades between 10am and 7pm. He serves breakfast, coffee, appetizers and daily menus, and does it so sweetly that it ends up as a Fitness Trainera friend and advisor to his clients, the students he helps deal with the boredom of long study hours.
“It’s one of the cafeterias on campus that’s always packed. The cook and the boss are good and I’m selling pretty well”comments jokingly Tabanes, who is especially proud that on graduation day the parents of many students wanted to meet him.
He says he’s been hearing about computer engineering for so many years that he doesn’t hesitate to say that if he takes an exam he will pass it.
“It is great to see Lazaro on the edge of computer science even though he has no idea about mathematics. He deserves to be there and feel the way he is, an important part of the lives of young computer engineers and those who will come to the college cafeteria in the coming years. He will approach them.” A Cuban who is friendly with the drink and gives them some tips they will never forget,” concludes the Galician newspaper with this sentimental look.
