The school test was coming up. She was nervous, so was her son. He knew what it meant, how important it was. A fork in the road. He could go on to a good career, a real partnership with the best Agents, a bright future. Or he could be on the slow lane. She tried to settle his nerves. She told him about the test she had at work, how having a second tier partner wasn’t a disaster, how she could still work, progress. She didn’t talk about what it felt like to feel you weren’t ready for the best.
