“As a relatively healthy guy, I joined the sick bank to help others out. 我一点也不知道，在六个月的时间里，我从相对健康的身体变成了需要进行改变生活的手术，这将使我在接下来的大部分学期都不能上学。 Thankfully, I was a member of the sick bank and they helped out once my leave was exhausted.”

“I had been a Pellissippi employee for 5 years when I found myself in need of taking some extended sick leave. 虽然我有假期和病假，但我在能够重返工作岗位之前就耗尽了。 作为生病银行的一员，我申请休假，毫无疑问得到了批准。 It was a relief to have the sick bank benefit when I needed them to provide additional days I did not have accrued in my leave balance.”

“I never thought I would benefit from the Sick Leave Bank. 我加入是出于一种利他主义的感觉。 这似乎是在生活一团糟时帮助同事的一种简单方法。 然后我的生活天翻地覆。 病假银行是我们在佩里西比州立大学给予彼此关怀的具体体现。 I can never properly thank each and every one of you who gave a day to help me through the most difficult period of my life.”
