    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Well, in my family, there are many members with whom I want to work in my future. But here I would like to talk about a person who has admired me a lot. And I always prefer to work with him in my future because I feel comfortable. He is none other than my grandfather. He is well educated and also teaches me a lot of things about the culture and the latest time. He teaches me a lot of things, what is happening around us. He is not only wise but also knowledgeable person. He teaches me a lot about what is happening around us and how to handle the situation when we have no any clues.

    The family member who I want to work with me in the future is my wife. The way I want to work with her is, because already she was my baby's compatible, so she knows everything about me, that is my strength, weakness, so she could perfectly match me in my work. For example, if I am being a medical professional, if I am dealing with a patient and if I am missing some clinical signs, she will be the perfect person to find what I have missed and she will definitely help me to find out those and without any ego I will be able to accept those mistakes. If some other person is there in her place, automatically my ego will start working, so it may be difficult for me to accept all those things. Now recently we had a patient who came to us with retinas of eye, so automatically being conjunctivitis being the most common differential diagnosis, I was more of the opinion that this could be conjunctivitis, but my wife found out that the patient is receiving an injection for bone strengthening, so there are reports that my medication can cause retinas of eye, so at that point of time it is her presence that actually helped me a lot. So in all aspects I feel that my wife will be the best person to work with me in the future. If you ask me who will be the next person to work with me, I will tell it will be my sister, but we are of different professions, so I don't know.

    I always dive into the idea of working with my mom since I was young. Usually, when I get to know my mother, when I gradually started growing up, I get to know that she is one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable person in my family. She is very passionate, ambitious and she is the one I would always like to have a set business with. She has such a good sense of clothing and pairing of many outfits together. I would like to have a clothing brand with my mom because she is good at fashion designing and even making clothes by her own. When I was young, she used to prepare beautiful dresses and outfits for me. I used to have a varied amount of dresses in my closet and everyone liked to admire it a lot. It would be a good decision to set up a business and a firm with my mom because she is the one who has always been so motivated to set up a business of her own and I have always been willing to work with her. We have always been thinking about the ideas and about the things we would like to showcase in our fashion design closet and the showroom which we present before the world. Overall, it would be a good idea to work with my mom in near future.
