Humble by Jose Juniel Rivera-Negron
That day I went for a long walk. On my way I stopped at a supermarket. I was looking around to see anything to take a photo of, and from far away I saw this gentle-man. He looked like he was working hard in a hot summer day, and specially on this crisis time of covid19. I watched him sanitized every single shopping cart by hand. I moved a little closer and press the shutter, so I walked to him, and I made a comment to him, I said, “is tough working this days”, he agreed, he told me that it’s harder and the worse is that some people don’t care, they don’t appreciate the hard work we do for them, but he also said that there is more people that does care and appreciate our hard work, because they know we are risking our lives out here. I admire this man for his humility.
