”You’ve got a college degree? What are you doing here?” My friend asked. We both went to the same college, me and Madison, we were in the same dorm then we became roommates and best friends. After 4 years of college we both got a degree and she got a very nice job and me, well something happened and I didn’t get the job that I wanted because my dad had a heart attack the same day that I was going to my job interview. I didn’t go to the interview and I went to the hospital to see my dad. He was in the emergency room for a couple of hours. I was so worried that something would happen to my dad but it didn’t. He was ok and well, the doctor said that he just needed to relax more and not do heavy things.
After that I called the admissions office to tell them what happened and why I was not there at the meeting, but they said that was my only chance to get the position that I had wanted for years. That day was the worst day of my life. In the next couple of days I don’t know what to do because the job I had wanted is gone and I need to have a job for now, but I can’t go too far away because of my dads heart attack. I have to take care of my dad so I can’t go into the big city and leave my dad back here. I had found a job that is close to my dad. I worked in a restaurant as a waitress for a couple of months, then that is when my best friend Madison came to this restaurant and saw me working there. Then I explained everything to Madison why I didn’t get the job and my dad had heart attacks.
