It is in the Human nature to always desire change and want more, and when this does not happen we all feel a door to success had been shut on us and feel we have been deprived of all good things,
we feel sad and bitter without preparing for alternate means. Planning against the worst is the best way to counter any disappointment and failures.
Madam Rose had been a Janitor at a High School for over 11 years and she had seen both the bad and good times. Moderately educated, but she had managed to raise two grown up boys now in college;
once studying Medicine and the Other studying accounting.
In the 12th year of Madam Rose Work as a Janitor, there was a mass lay-off of workers. Although Madam Rose was not affected because she was never a classroom teacher, but most of her colleagues and friends were sacked. This had made the Head teacher/principal more tense and grumpy, looking for extra hands to teach the students.
Beforehand, Rose had offered to take classes Pro-Bono in the past but rejected several times as she was considered less qualified. Now in the ruckus of mass sacking the school principal with some of the teachers left wants her to start taking classes which she humbly declined. This is resulted in threats to fire her if she didn't comply which she never did and she got fired!
Just few months after she was fire unlawfully, she met one of her colleagues/friends who was laid off at the store, he had gotten a lucrative job as an instructor at a correctional home for youths. Rose was delighted to see her friend and she quickly relayed all that had happen to her to her friend. All the while her friend was smiling as she narrates and upon finishing she gave Madam Rose a complimentary Card to call.
The following week, Madam Rose called the number on the complimentary card and at the other end she was surprise to hear: "Hey Rose, we've heard so much about you and your experience with teenagers. When can you resume work with us?"
She got a job with a package that quadruple her payments in all her 11 years of working as a Janitor at the High School!
