first day! 🎀

Here's how my first day of OJT went!

Our call time was 7 AM, so I woke up at 3 AM to get ready. I left home at 6 AM—yes, it takes me hours to prepare (I'm just a girl). I was already nervous by that time because it was already 6 AM, and I was still far from my workplace. I was exhausted even before our work began. I live in Barangay Ususan, but I got assigned to Barangay South Signal, and I didn’t even know how to get there. I had to ask my classmates 😭.

Luckily, I arrived at around 6:30 AM. I checked the barangay hall, but I didn’t see any of my coworkers. So, I decided to go to McDonald's to buy an iced coffee because I was super sleepy at that time. After getting my coffee, I went back to the barangay hall and finally saw two of my classmates, Nelson and Echo! It was already 7:30, and our supervisor had just arrived. She told us we had to divide into two groups: A.M. and P.M. sessions. My classmates and I chose the P.M. session because we wanted to stick together, and I also have a hard time waking up early.

I was surprised because we didn’t actually do much that day. Our supervisor just gave us an orientation about what we’d be doing in PESO. She also explained the rules and dress code we need to follow; she told us to wear black tomorrow (I don't have any black-colored clothes that are not revealing😭). She dismissed us early, saying our work would start on our second day. Before going home, I treated myself  Llao Llao, a little reward for surviving my first day of OJT. Like they say,  "Celebrate the little things."
