This blog was made a few years ago when I was still in college.
PROFESSIONALISM! This was Ma'am Nano had taught us to be. That is what people should learn as they go along with their career. But mind you people, it is really hard to be as such. If only, people would keep in mind the righteous things, then everyone can say, " I am Professional".
Let me share this experience to everyone to enlighten the minds of those people who do not understand me. When I was in first year high school, I really didn’t care to be a good student since I was a shy type of person and I was often downgraded by my classmates. That time, I lacked self-esteem, and self-confidence. It even came to a point of doubting myself why it was happening to me. But then again, "life goes on" as they say. I continued working on with my requirements in school even though I was so down and hopeless. I also felt so alone that nobody cared for me although my friends were there to comfort me. This kind of feeling continued until my third year high school life came. Third year high school life was my worst nightmare of all. Since I was downgraded by my classmates, it even came to a point wherein my grades were failing. Our class adviser, Mam Agnes Rimando, who was there to look after me, supported me in any way that she could do. I still continued my studies with the help of my friends, teachers and of course my family.
When the time I got failing grades on the third quarter, I realized that nobody could help me except myself but of course with the guidance of God. By that time, I realized, I has to challenge myself for a change. I was so happy because I successfully surpassed that trial that came into my life. When I was in 4th year, I already gained confidence with the help of my mentors Ma'am Rimando, Ma'am Cristita Ferrer, my 4th year adviser and other teachers not to mention. They gave me strength and they supported me all the way especially Ma'am Ferrer. In this chapter of my life, I had learned to be independent especially when we had our quizzes, assignments and examinations. I was able to top the class in Physics, Values Education and Mathematics. I’m not bragging or something. I did not expect that to happen because there were other students who were better than me. So, i learned to be professional and I know I am. I hope you understand what I have shared to you. And at least have an idea what I’m trying to point out here.
Those people who still don’t understand me, well just keep in mind that I’m just doing my part and as I do my part, I am the one responsible for all my actions. Just do whatever you want to do but you must also remember that I will also do whatever I want to do. Before you create a nightmare of your own doing, try to anticipate what would be the outcome of your own doing and try to think if it is right or not. Remember your ethics? Remember what Ma'am Nano had taught us and be able to apply it and that’s the only time you will understand what I’m trying to stress out. I still remember the things happened during our field trip and I was so disappointed in almost all the 4th year students. But anyway, that was past and I’m sure you have learned your lessons and be able to see and realize your wrong doings.
To be professional always needs great responsibility, power and courage to do it. Be patient and persistent in everything that you do, and most of all love and respect your work in school. If you can do it without anyone controlling you then you can say, "I am Professional".
