By facing our challenges and overcoming them,we grow stronger,wiser,and more compassionate.-John Templeton
Good day beloved hivers,@mariajasmin is back sharing another experience with so many learnings. Exciting right? Now , without any hesitation,let's get started.
My journey of being a senior high school student may end ,but the lessons and determination that taught me will forever be here.Now,allow me to share you my journey as a work immersion student way back when I was in senior high school.
Being an immersion student is not really easy.At first, it was very exciting because we would be entering a various companies and gain knowledge about business.However, you will face another challenges including the requirements that are needed especially the expenses .
Fast forward,after compiling the requirements we immediately proceed to the interview on November. I was very nervous at that time ,but luckily our interviewer was kind and we didn't have any difficulties. Instead,she gave us feedback and guide that we can use in the future. Finally, we could move forward on preparing things we would bring to the company.
December 2024 was the month of our work immersion,the day that we've waiting for.All of the students and teachers are all prepared to go to their assigned companies.
Now let's proceed to the company where we are assigned which is Emcor located at Capt. Abella, St. Sambag Bogo, City Cebu.By the way we are two students who went to the company , and on the next day ,another two more students will join us within 15 days .For our first day, the assigned teacher accompanied us to show the location and introduced us to the manager. What a big WOW ! From the moment we steeped inside, the warm welcome from the staffs was truly heartwarming.
Within our first 5 days in the company,our manager oriented us ,we introduced ourselves,the staffs made us sing because that's their routine when there is new in the company.So,even though I'm little bit nervous, I'll just go with the flow and enjoyed it since the staff was very supported.
And here we go, of course for our daily routine as what our manager mentioned on the orientation.Before anything else, we must clean the store in the morning and after we leave at 5 pm , help the staffs if needed,arrange the papers ,list the names on the computer and lastly,entertain the customers. So , without any hesitation we did that everyday.
On the next day, students from other school came for their work immersion as well. They are 6 students and looks so very confident .Meanwhile ,my two classmates also came so we are now complete.One day our manager decided to give us a challenge together with the students from other school,she told us to make a video clip for their Christmas Wheels of Fortune. Whoever got the most views would receive a prize from her.
Everyone felt so excited but,I also felt worry because I know that the students from the other school were also good.But then suddenly I realized, that no matter what happens, whether we get the price or not , I am still thankful and grateful for having this kind of opportunity,it is a big help for me to enhance my skills in communication, marketing and self-confidence.But still, we fight and have hope on ourselves to win this challenge.
After editing and posted the video we always checked it day by day , tagged and mentioned the people we knew. We are so nervous because the video of the other students were too fast of having the views. Our emotions are mixed, excited, nervous and having some fun while mentioning the people.But still ,they have the most views and it was very fast to gain their views.
Despite of those overthinking,the staffs cheered us on, reminding that there still hope since the deadline isn't that close. Futhermore,winning isn't always guaranteed, sometimes this can motivaye us to improve.
Within a few days in the company ,the lessons and the experiences I had encountered deeply shaped me into a better person. The lessons I've learned to their company gave me insights about businesses , how to deal with the customers, how to run a business ,how it's transactions work and how to effectively improve a business. Additionally,the struggles I faced and the knowledge I gained during those days significantly enhanced my personal growth and progress. Now,all I can say is, no matter what the result will be, I'm still proud of what we've accomplished. This will only serve as our guide to become stronger in the future.
That's it for now dear hivers, my part 2 will be publish soon . See you on part 2 to find out the results and witness another experiences and learnings I've encountered. Have a good day hivers !!!
