REMEMBRANCE
:
Jai and '2' were 21-years old as they stood elegantly in their
Shimmering White Lace Dresses
, just a few minutes before their wedding. While gazing intently into each other's eyes, their memories drifted to prior years when they were two little lost four-year-old girls in pain.
Sarah Jackson
Sarah was reared in the poor and predominantly black section of her N. Florida community. Her color tended to be more of a tan, which indicated a mixed ancestry at some point in their family tree. She was quite a good student, always maintaining a B-average or 3.25-GPA. But, with her family being poor, she also needed to work, helping out her parents, and therefore attended a local community college (CC), majoring in applied business.
Like many southern black families, Sarah's family was Christian and members of the First Baptist Church. Sarah was active in many youth groups until she completed high school. Then, she drastically reduced her church-related activities due to limited free time between waitressing four days a week and CC evening studies for her Associate's Degree in Applied Business (AAB).
In late 2005, Sarah was violently raped by three men while returning home from an evening CC course placement exam. She was left for dead along the side of a quiet street, and it was quite fortunate that a late evening jogger noticed her lying there in the darkness and called 911 for help.
The rapists were never found or prosecuted for their hideous crime, leaving Sarah with an unfortunate gift. She had been a virgin before her rape, so subsequently, Sarah was devastated by a positive pregnancy test six weeks later. Her sole biological daughter
Kim
, now sixteen years old, was the end result of Sarah's violent rape.
Once her pregnancy was confirmed by a second test, Sarah came under intense pressure from her family, friends, and, surprisingly, several church members to abort the fetus. It seemed that her rape brought shame on her family, as well as their church community. Their answer to Sarah's dilemma was 'no baby means no shame.' It seemed that Sarah, '
the rape victim
,' was being unfairly punished by those who supposedly loved her. She felt as if the weight of the entire world was on her young shoulders.
Sarah did a lot of soul-searching for two weeks regarding her belief in what was right or wrong for her with this difficult choice. She finally decided to take her pregnancy to term because she felt this was the clear and proper path for her forward in this life.
She was basically forced out of the family home by indifference and into a rooming house for young women.
Sarah spoke with a female doctor at a Planned Parenthood affiliate clinic about her stress and depression. This caring doctor provided her with 'free samples' of medication that is sometimes used to treat pregnancy-related depression.
The Community College program studies also added to her stressful situation, so she withdrew from the subsequent two semesters.
Desperately needing a stable income that was not dependent on tips, Sarah scoured the want ads daily. She knew that her pregnancy would definitely be viewed negatively by any prospective employer(s). Sarah had also only completed the first year of her Applied Business Studies-A.A.B. degree. This would limit the type of job she could apply for while meeting the minimum education requirements.
Sarah saw an intriguing want ad listed in the local daily newspaper for a manufacturing company (Win Exexx), new to their N. Florida area. The company intended to open a regional production facility, including a shipping department there in the next six months, and currently had an 'advance team' in place. If successful, the new company would provide hundreds of really good-paying manufacturing jobs to the area.
Win Exexx needed to quickly hire a few local persons to speed up their new plant development since the facility was soon opening. The paper's want ad listed an 'Executive Office Assistant' position but did not list any minimum education requirements, specific duties, or work experience.
Sarah decided to apply immediately and seek an interview. If she was lucky and they hired her, she would have a good-paying job until her expected delivery date in seven months. She dressed as nice as possible with her limited wardrobe and took a bus to the Win Exexx office.
Sarah introduced herself to the receptionist and "asked about the office assistant position listed in the newspaper?"
The receptionist told her "she needed to make an appointment to schedule an interview with their new Vice President." He was quite busy with many different issues as the company rushed to open this new facility.
Sarah looked disappointed with her reply but politely thanked the receptionist for speaking with her. She then asked, "If she could apply now and make an interview appointment while she was here?"
The receptionist stared intently at Sarah and then introduced herself as Helen, with Sarah responding with her name.
Helen asked her, "If she had taken the bus here?"
Sarah replied, "Yes, she read the want ad and immediately dressed to come quickly for an interview."
Helen told Sarah to wait in the chair next to reception for a moment, and she would speak with the new vice president.
Helen went into Mr. Erickson's office and said, "Boss, there is a young lady named Sarah in reception about the newly posted office assistant's job."
"That was quick. Did you take Sarah's application and schedule an interview?"
Helen said, "no, and she knew this was unusual, but maybe he could speak with Sarah now since there seemed to be something different about her?" Helen continued, "Sarah read about the job, then immediately got dressed and took the bus here to apply."
Luck, fate, or destiny was with Sarah as Mr. Erickson was quite impressed with their thirty-minute conversation. She was open about her rape and resulting pregnancy, her family rejection situation, and her need for a regular job.
Mr. Erickson thanked Sarah for her honesty and said, "Yes, she was in a difficult situation for a young lady."
Finally, Mr. Erickson asked Sarah, "would she work in a temporary status for one month and then meet with him again to discuss a permanent job?"
She excitedly responded, "absolutely, and she could start right now!"
Mr. Erickson laughed, commenting, "She did not ask how much the job paid?"
Sarah replied that "he had been honest with her, and she trusted him to be fair with her pay."
He told her the hourly rate for the temporary status, and Sarah was "stunned" beyond belief.
He rang Helen, saying "he enjoyed speaking with Sarah, who agreed to start in a temp spot today, possibly helping her in reception this afternoon."
She asked Helen "to teach her the basics of working reception for the next hour," and she could work independently from that point. If she needed help, Sarah would ask Helen to give her more directions for the questioned item.
Sarah had a great afternoon, answering phones, giving directions to their office for potential employee interviews, and cheerfully helping out whenever someone asked.
Helen was still busily working when the company closed at five o'clock, so Sarah stopped by her office and asked, "If she could help her with anything?"
Helen answered, "Thanks a lot." She was quite pleased with Sarah's strong work effort today.
Sarah had worked diligently for a week when Mr. Erickson called her into his office, where Helen was already seated. They both were really pleased with Sarah's work, and Helen knew about her difficult personal situation. She was offered a permanent job with an immediate twenty-five percent pay increase.
Fast forward seventeen years to 2021. Sarah, now thirty-seven years old, was now VP of USA Operations and General Manager of the N. Florida facility. She still reports to Mr. Erickson and is now in line for a promotion to President of Win Exexx Worldwide. Her boss, Mr. Erickson, is now in line to assume the CEO position.
