Taiwan

December 2, 2008

Recently, I have heard many stories about the people around me who got fired. I feel vey sorry for their misfortune.

One of them is about my ex-roommate. She is a girl that I admire very much. Her parents got divorced and they didn't take care of their kids well. She has made a living alone since she was in junior high school. During the school days in college, she even worked in the daytime and attended school at night. She studied very hard and got good grades.

Few days ago, she called me, telling me she was fired. I feel sad for her but it's too bad that there is nothing I can help her. I only encouraged her not to give up and tried harder. And then the chance will come.

She doesn't like the people in Taipei much but still decides to stay there longer because she has some relatives there. She said that she'd like to continue working in business field, but recently, it's difficult to find one because of the poor economy. 

I was told that currently more people are forced to take unpaid holidays. I don't know how long they can survive in the situation. May god bless the jobless.
