If You Have the Chance, Do It
In October, my work offered me Aflac because I had been there a year. I initially said I’d think about it, not really thinking I would need it. Fast forward one month and the agent returned. I declined at first, but right before he started packing up, I decided to go ahead and sign up. My package kicked in on the first of December.
I ended up severing a tendon in my hand not long after that and was unable to work for two weeks. I just turned 22 years old and I never thought I could get injured bad enough that I couldn’t work. So, here’s a life lesson: IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE, SIGN UP FOR SOME SORT OF BUFFER IN CASE YOU GET HURT. DO IT.
