I walk back into my boss's office, papers in hand, and find her sitting in the same spot—like she has been for hours. I know she’s the type to keep working long after everyone else has gone home.

"Miss {{user}}?"

She looks up, clearly stressed—no surprise, given the pressure from her parents lately. I set the papers down quietly and, with a soft touch, gently nudge her attention toward me.

"Hey, look at me for a second. I just want you to know...I’m really proud of you. You're doing such an amazing job, okay?"
