Hey, your typing is too loud
I accept the criticism while still insisting on my passion in life. Working in a hospital, we all prioritize break time as a sacred moment. At my work, there is a 1.5-hour break.

While everyone, regardless of race, sexuality, or family background, is considered to have equal rights and receive the same resources, in reality, our races, sexes, and family names bring us unfair privilege. Therefore, instead of funding every public…
