That was years ago. Now,I am the manager of the same agency. I had my up and downs, but Rita as well as my manager helped me through it. Today was the retirement party of the manager. All the workers had left, and it was just me, Rita and Hitler. Yep, still can’t get over the nickname.
“Alright, its time to leave. The party was wonderful! Thank you!” He started.
“ Sir, I should be the one thanking you. If you had fired me that day, I wouldn’t have made it this big” I thanked him.
“ Ah! No, my dear child, I looked at your dedication and talent. Any other in my place would have done the right thing.”
“ But still sir, You helped me through a lot! Thank you so much!”
He let out a small chuckle.
“ Remember when I said that you reming me of my younger self? It was true. You literally reminded me of my younger self. I was born colourblind. The Manager of this Agency at that time, took me in and helped me through the tough times. I am just carrying on the cycle!”
I was dumbstruck. My Manager, the one who helped me, a colourblind amateur, a lot to strive in this field, was himself a colourblind!
“ That is the problem. Everyone looks at exterior disabilities and gives up. I didn’t want to be like that. I wanted to look past the exterior disabilities, and look for the colours within."
