I've been always my parents pride and joy. I was a good student, and now a good daughter for them; I give them decent amount of money every month. I take them to a gourmet place every payday, and pay good money for a morsel, this is the lifestyle my parents and I, and all of avarage korean people persue. This is the epitome of happy family I always pictured. And today, when I went to office as always, my boss gave me a forceful 1 year break. It was, in effect, a layoff. I was crushed. I appealed to him to take it back, but they were very decisive. I'm now out of job. My parents really rest on my income. I needed a job, I combed through the available jobs but nothing appealed to me but this one. I only applied to one position, and I'm pinning my hopes on this particular one. Earlier today, they called me and apolozied they butt dialed. But luckly I could get a chance to pitch my career and I got an interview. I indulged myself to a nice dinner as a celebration. It will all work out well itself.
