Achievements and speed bumps!

“I am worthless, that’s why they fired me” Words hardly making their way through the moist eyes and trembling fingers.“No, that is not the case. You know it is because of the COVID” A comforting voice.“I don’t know. I was never so unsure about my career. I am not ready to handle this crisis. I
