My cousin is an extremely smart guy. On top of that, he is very confident and resilient. Because of this, it was incredibly hard to see him so broken and defeated two Christmases ago. Although he did his best to hide his true feelings, you could see through him and see that he looked like his soul had been crushed.
The reason that he seemed this way because he had been laid off of his job. This hurts anyone, but because he had excelled at his job and was on the track for a promotion, it was even harder on him. Fortunately, although this event bruised him quite badly, he’s not the type of person to ever give up.
Therefore, it was wonderful to visit him in Detroit last month and see that not only is he back on track, but he seems stronger than ever before. I went to visit him for several days, and he could not be in a better place right now. It took quite awhile, but he eventually secured a new job, and judging by how he’s living and the accomplishments he told me about, he will be rising through the ranks of his new company in no time!
