my fourth year May 1, 2010

It’s my fourth year

I still remembered the feeling when I walked inside a room full of hopefuls like me, dreaming of life’s content and a big shot at the corporate world. My first day in training is like a big step towards what I’ve been wanting for. A job, steady income and my own money at last! The job I have right now is my first job; I started to work at 21 since I know my mom would have a hard time financing my tuition fees and needs should I decide to finish another year of school. I totally understand why that’s the case and I swear that I’ve never felt relieved yet so excited in my life not because I’m done with school of course but the new chapter excites me so much to even bother that I will end up as an undergraduate. I’ve struggled to familiarize myself with directions in an unfamiliar city. I know I need to be confident enough If I want to be accepted in the company that I’m applying for and it just felt so great when I learned that I made it. I don’t know what I felt that time. I feel like crying and jumping at the same time. I made it.

Four years later, here I am, reminiscing that moment. Wondering where I would be if I’m not seated in a cubicle with my head set on. I’m wondering where my guts would have taken me have I failed my application. I can still see clearly myself that day, wearing a white polo, brown slacks, high heels and an air of confidence that was my sole weapon to be where I am right now.
