were a easy target to the threats of the virus and as well had a newborn baby in custody
who indeed needed my close care so I was torn between making a drastic move to help
protect the lives of the vulnerable in my care department as well felt a threat to my beloved
one and for the first time felt like giving up the job to pursue parenting but rather stayed
true to my oath and served my client to a state where I was detained in a college for
quarantine and treated like lesser being despite the sacrifices knowing too well this was a
occupational hazard when was confirmed virus positive. This memory is haunting but I felt I
did beyond and I didn’t deserve the treatment meted on me for my good job.
