seventh day! 🎀

Interactive seventh Day

I can’t believe it’s already my seventh day here, and I only have three days left to work! Time flies so fast. Yesterday, Ms. Christine told us that there wouldn’t be any more separate A.M. and P.M. sessions. Since our OJT is about to end, we now have to work for the whole day.

Today, I arrived at the workplace early (as usual). Ate Meriam, one of the barangay staff, assigned me to assist her at the information desk. She showed me what I needed to do, and I ended up interacting with a lot of people. I was super shy at first, but Ate Meriam made sure I felt comfortable. She even told people, “Ah, she’s introverted,” which made me laugh because, she’s not wrong, I do tend to respond with fewer words. 😓

As the day went on, Ate Meriam and I talked. She was curious about me and asked about my future plans. We ended up having this deep conversation about life, my goals, and even some of my school problems. It felt surprisingly easy to open up to her, and I really appreciated how supportive she was.

I spent the whole day working, talking, and bonding with Ate Meriam. I felt so comfortable that I didn't interact with any of my workmates except for Zoilo and I completely forgot to sign my attendance sheet, Ms. Christine scolded me because of that😭. Lesson learned: don’t let good vibes make you forget your responsibilities!
