A few days ago, I got a message from one person who was my coordinator. We worked together for about 2 and half years since he was a freshman. In his university days, He was not allowed to go to university and meet these classmates and seniors in person. he worked at the company which I belonged to. At first, he had strong motivation and many hopes for his career, but he had something in his mind and changed his job. I was sad about his leaving, but I hope he’s luck in his new job and handed my contact address in case any trouble he could reach me. One year later his departure, he sent me an email! In his mail, he said he failed to change his job, and I felt that it was a sign from him and made a plan to meet. Looking back on my career, I also had the same experience that I really wanted to share with my suffering about my work. At that time, I was moved to the new division. There was the head of the division who had worked there for so long and one more who was also moved with one-way ticket. Two of them were not used to at all!! They didn’t exchange any words and each of them blamed each other though me. I was not a messenger pigeon at all but if they had something in their mind about the other, they spoke to me. It was very awful. I was very stressed in that environment, so I wanted to tell the senior of the main division how the division was. But it was annoying for them and most of the seniors of the division thought I was a very selfish junior who couldn’t endure the situation. I really eager to meet the mentor in my work but I didn’t and to listen my voice. So, when I got his message, I wanted to do what I wanted to have and be told at that time. That was enough to listen to my voice and feel empathy, maybe. So, I did the same thing to him. I might not be his mentor, but I hope that I am a good senior to him who can encourage his future. ## Images 1.
