Hi Eddy!

This must have been such a tough experience for you. Feeling sick but still pushing through with work is never easy, especially when you’re a trainee and don’t want to show any weakness. I completely understand why it was difficult for you to say that you weren’t feeling well. Sometimes, we feel pressure to keep going no matter what, even when our body is telling us to rest.

You handled the situation well, though! Even though you tried to keep working, you listened to your body when it got worse and made the right decision to inform your manager. That takes courage, especially in a professional setting. Going to the hospital and getting diagnosed with COVID-19 must have been a shock, but I’m glad you were able to recover and continue working from home.

This experience shows your dedication, but also the importance of knowing when to take care of yourself. No matter how important a task is, our health always comes first. You did the responsible thing by stepping back when you needed to, and that’s a really valuable lesson.

Your writing is clear, and I love how you shared your personal experience with honesty. Keep practicing, and don’t be afraid to add even more details about how you felt during the experience, it will make your story even more engaging. You\'re doing a great job! Keep it up!
