On this new experience of mine, I have learned many things and had many realization. This
made me realize that I am really growing up and there are a lot of responsibilities that we
cannot avoid facing, guess we cannot be “forever young”, and our time of playing around is
ending and we should already take life seriously. This experience gave me a glimpse of the life
of an adult working to earn for their families, I had a glimpse of how they coped up from
traveling long distances just to go to work, equipment malfunctions, overtimes and kids calling
for money for their projects or hang outs. Like the pressure that we are feeling right now as
students are nothing compared to what they are feeling, yet they did their job without letting
out a single whine.
All in all having this kind of experience made me grow and realize how little my knowledge is,
on this field. Although tiring, I can definitely say that my weeks working at the motor pool of
Department of Public Works and Highways was worth it.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
Having this experience, I have learned many things. I have learned that I have to sacrifice many
things, I have learned what it’s like to be an employee, and I have learned that you can’t have
enough time for anything else during duty. In skills aspect, I have learned how to use a printing
machine because seriously I have no idea how to use it, I learned how to organize and dispose
files and I learned how to do paper works like making a request slip. On the attitude
department, I learned how to be patient flexible in terms of what job was given to me, patient
despite the problems on orders, cooperative with my coworkers so we can finish our jobs
efficiently and friendly even though I’m really bad at making friends.
PRE-IMMERSION ESSAY
Work immersion is a program and one of the course requirements of high school students
for graduation. Work immersion makes the students become familiar with the work, related to
their specialization. So as a student this is a way to help me gain experience and enhance the
skills that I probably have for the sake of my future and for the job that I’ll choose.
One of my expectation during the work immersion is that the company will treat me well.
Because this is my first time and literally have no idea about this I expect that this will be hard
for me, so as a student I will do my best on every hard things that’s I’ll encounter during the
work immersion. I will cooperate with the company and I will make sure that I can be useful to
them during the immersion. I also expect that I will meet new faces, friends, challenges and
especially difficulties that will surely give me a hard time.
