TRANSCRIPT

Last year, I got angry at my boss for giving my promotion to someone else. I had worked hard and felt confident that it was my turn. But deep down, I was insecure. I started comparing myself to my colleague and became envious of his success. Every morning, I felt anxious and stressed just walking into the office. I even felt guilty for not being happy for him. One day, I snapped and embarrassed myself during a meeting by making a sarcastic comment. Everyone went quiet, and I just sat there feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. (95 words)
