my journey

             

           I started my education program at the age of four. The chapel in our purok was our school during my kinder 1 and kinder 2 at Nagas, Tambongon, Pantukan, ComVal. I spend my elementary grade at the same place, Nagas Elementary School. I graduated on the year 1998 with an honor. During the elementary years I was active in any extracurricular activities in our school. I became a part of the Student Body Organization as councilor, a delegate of Boy Scout of the Philippines Regional Scouting, a folk dancer and poster maker. My secondary level was at the same Barangay at Tambongon National High School, Tambongon, Pantukan, ComVal. There, I also part of the Supreme Student Council as Senator from first year up to 4th year. I was an active of any extracurricular activities. I received the recognition as the Second Honorable Mention during our graduation on 2002.

            To go into a tertiary level is quite hard for us because of financial constraints. My dreams to become a successful man someday motivated me to do some actions to pursue those dreams.  I worked as a houseboy; I did all the household chores all day and during night I went to school. I finished my associate degree in Computer Programming at Computer Innovation Center, Inc. Tagum City. The same with my elementary and secondary years, I was also active in any extracurricular activities in the institution. I was a part of THE LINK the school paper and I was a President of Student Programmers Club.  I still managed my time well in both work and school. I was awarded the Organizational Service Award and Academic Achievement Award during our graduation in the year 2004.

            At the age of 18, I started to work in a big establishment.  My first job was in JS Gaisano as Baggage Attendant for a five months contract and that was in July to December 2004. To earn a bigger salary, I applied in NCCC Mall Tagum. To my fortune, I was hired as sales associate at School and Office Supplies Department for a five months contract from July to December 2005. A months later after that contract, I was hired as a promodiser of Shining East Marketing Corporation at the same department of NCCC Departmentstore. I was connected in that company almost one year and a half. During that period, I decided to go to college. I enrolled BSBA major in Marketing Management at UM Tagum College. A bigger opportunity offered to me and that was why I spent one semester only during that period. I resigned as promodiser because NCCC Department Store hired me as Inventory Clerk and I need to focus on my work during my probationary period.

       There were a several times that I was on and off in schooling due to some unwanted circumstances in our family. I need to help my parents to support my brother and sister that are also in college. But, a hunger for knowledge motivated me to enroll again. Later on, I decided to prioritize myself and I enrolled again. But, on school year 2011-2012, I transferred to St. Thomas More School of Law and Business situated at Doctolero Avenue, Tagum City with the same program because there I sent my sister in college. Considering the lowest tuition fee they are offered and also it is not too far from my work place. On the school year 2012-2013 I enrolled back to UM Tagum College because my subjects were not credited in STMS.

            Presently, I’m on a 3rd year level now and at the same time I am currently working at NCCC Department Store.
