Working Essentials

It’s so silent. The only sounds heard are your own footsteps. It didn’t seem like reality. You check your phone to see the time; it’s only 8 A.M. You ask yourself, how in the hell are you going to last until 1 P.M.? All of a sudden, people start coming up to the door left and right,…

Keep Pushing

Sneakers squeaking on the floor, the echo of the basketball dribbling on the floor, the crowd roaring and the coach is yelling at the team.
