After high school graduation.

I was born and raised in Morocco. After my school education, I found myself between two crucial and life changing decisions. I had to decide, either to stay in my home country and continue my academic studies there, or to move abroad to a more developed country where I could explore greater opportunities and advantages. After so much consideration, I had to decide what would be the best for me and my personal goals.

Therefore, despite the challenges, I was determined to follow and pursue my dream.

I decided to move abroad even if though it was an emotional decision for me, especially after of my mom tried to stop me. knowing that if I stayed in my home country would have been close to my family, I knew it wouldn't provide the fulfillment I needed for a successful career. I had to take a risk and follow my dreams, even if it meant leaving my comfort zone and facing uncertainty in a foreign land. It was really hard, but I knew it was the right one even if it meant leaving my family in tears.

After a couple of months we started dating, I was really exited and happy that I ended up dating my crush.

At first, it started with innocent flirtation until he starting touching our waists and getting too close to us physically. I knew it was a big problem since everyone started saying it and complaining about it. I had to report it to the manager, but he did nothing. I felt betrayed, so I had to report it to HR.
