When my dad announced it was “Bring Your Child to Work Day,” I was thrilled. I had always wondered what he did at his job and what his office looked like. So, when he told me that he was taking me to work, I was excited beyond measure. We left early in the morning, my dad in his usual business attire and me in my best dress, hoping to impress his colleagues.
However, when we arrived at his office building, it seemed strangely quiet. I didn’t see any other kids around. My dad led me through a series of hallways until we reached a small, cozy break room. “Wait here,” he said, giving me a reassuring smile. “I’ll be back soon.”
