"Immerse yourself in a life that moves you, because what you surround yourself with is what becomes your life."- Topaz
June 2, 2023, a schedule for the Culmination Program of the Work Immersion of Senior High School students. 110 students were about to achieve their certificates of recognition and everybody was excited and thrilled as they will celebrate the moment of success!
The Preparation
The Preparation of the said program was not been easy but the tasks were divided to make it a little lighter. There was a group assigned to the Physical arrangements, another group for the decoration of the stage, another group for the table skirting for the presidential table and the reception venue, and another group for the preparation of food.
I was assigned to the table skirting for the guest and tables for the reception. We made it easy with the help of my students.
Students were eager to learn how to do the table skirting and they learn it while doing and following the instructions. It will be easy to teach when someone is interested in what he will going to do.
Chanaaan!!! Our presidential table was ready!

Next Tasks! The Tokens and the Certificates
The preparation of tokens and the Certificates will be given to the guest. There were twelve guests or shall we say business firms that became our partners for the immersion.
In gratitude, we will give tokens and certificates to them. We were thankful to them that they accepted our students and they let them experience face the real world.
The Reception Venue and the Food were ready!
I'm thankful to my colleagues who lend their helping hands and were so active in preparing the food for the guests.
The Program
The program started at almost 2:00 PM with the grand entrance of the students. The girls were seated on the left side part of the stage while the boys were on the right side.
I led the prayer and followed by the national anthem played by multimedia.
Welcome remarks were delivered by our School Principal.
This was followed by the insights of the selected students where everyone said they had great moments when they stayed at the firm and were thankful for the opportunity to work in the field and the business firm welcomed them without doubts and hesitation. They treated the students like real employees in their firm.
The Giving of Certificates
The certificates were given to the business firm and were grateful beyond words for the time they accepted our students.
The Inspirational Message
The Inspirational message was delivered by Mrs. Fuentes, I always listened every time she talks and shared messages, especially inspirational messages. Words from her always inspire me to move forward, her words of encouragement. She talked about what is in Immersion and why there is a Work Immersion. She told the students that the moment you step in the door of the business firm your willing to Experience what is in the real world in terms of having a job and when you are already there you have to Explore explore things new to you and then next to it Enjoy. Same with when you are in your job...Strive hard to reach the goal of success! This phrase was retained in my mind as she shared her message. My salute to you Ma'am!
***The Dance Presentation!!!
The dance presentation from the three sections of Grade 12 made me realize that they were thankful too to their business firm. Their expressive dance demonstrates their thank you message and I enjoyed watching them.
The Giving of Certificates
The moment that the students were waiting for, the moment of giving the certificates. The fruits of their hard work and dedication. They strived hard to this certificate and they were proud to receive it.
Photo Opportunity with all business firm partners, with the Principal and guests.
Self-Realization
An excellent achievement indeed from the sacrifices and experiences they exceeded. Everything had been paid off and I come to realize that anything will be possible if you aim to achieve no matter how many struggles and circumstances encountered. There may be ups and downs and this may be part of the story when you succeed.
That's all for now Hivers. Hope this inspired you to move forward and reach your goal in life. Have a great day everyone and God bless
