Today, I completed two trips for Uber. One of the riders worked for the U.S. Department of Defense as a psychologist and was heading back to Germany, where she would live until next year. She was in Florida on vacation to take care of her 92-year-old parents, who were dealing with various health problems (who wouldn’t at that age). The rider shared that she was 62 years old and had two brothers and three sisters. She mentioned that she never had children, which I think is an admirable decision. I picked her up in Manatee County and took her to a hotel in Hillsborough County, Florida. Driving for Uber allows me to meet interesting people from all walks of life and learn about their stories. It’s always fascinating to hear about their experiences and the reasons behind their decisions. As an Uber driver, I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with people and provide a valuable service
