My Work, My Identity

"Assuming that you are already ten years into the work that you have chosen for yourself. How will that wok create you identity? How do you want others to know you or judge you because of the work you do?"

          Assuming that after a decade, my profession would be a doctor and by that time, the population in our place has increased. A lot of problem has arose - the main problem is the health of the people and how are they supposed to pay  for it especially the poor.

         First of all, I will propose an action to the government to provide more professional doctors and nurses to help me perform medical missions in every place wherein there are many people suffering from illnesses. This way, if ever the illness is transferable, it would be best to target the first place where the sickness started.

          For example, if a flu have spread out in a certain area in our locality, let's say in Tocucan, then I will lead the medical mission there to prevent further spreading of the flu. But going in that certain place, where the flu has started is a risk on our part, so in order for us to be secure and will not caught that flu, we will be careful in our work. It is a hard task but to risk ourselves to prevent the spread of the disease is good. At least, the sickness will not spread throughout the locality and will infect more people and will later on die. Like what they said "Prevention is better than cure."

          I will also give a free medical check-ups. This free medical check-ups will help the citizens maintain their proper health and avoid sickness that are present in every season of the year.
The performance we do in our field of work whether we do it positively or in a negative manner, can create the type of person we are in our work. One is not only known as efficient and or effective to be known to the public, one can also be a lazy worker who is just doing his minimal part just to keep the job.

          Everybody wants to please other people especially the boss in any office. It is a normal thing that as a worker, one should be known as an effective and excellent up-to-date worker.

Unlocking the Quote

          "He is nothing who can do nothing. He can achieve nothing, fulfill nothing, without working."

         The quotation means that a man is nothing if he cannot do anything because he is too sluggish or if he is too lazy to do his work. He can never progress and he will never fulfill his dreams. He does not deserve a good title for him to be known for.

         A man's ambitions will be wasted if he will not start and work for it. He will never fulfill his dreams is he will still remain lazy and depend on others.

         For example, if you belong to a poor family and you have high dreams which you want to achieve. But you're too lazy to work and is always complaining to do your task, you can never achieve those dreams of yours. How can you achieve your dreams if you are like that? Your dreams will never come true if you just sit, relax and sleep and just wake up one day and all of your dreams came true. Life is a struggle, you must work hard, before achieving your dreams and going to the top, you must first shed a lot of sweat before you can fulfill your dreams.

CAMPING TRIP

          In our life we encounter many experiences that are either memorable or embarrassing. In the experiences that we come across, we socialize with others and we have an adventure with them.

          Camping time! Finally we were ready to go. Clothes were prepared, foods were ready to be opened and I already felt the excitement inside of me.

          Everybody was ready and we left Bontoc. We rode on a jeep. Genalyn, Leah and I shouted at the top of our voice when we started and left the town. We were so excited that we didn't notice that the road was getting rocky and dusty and the ride was getting bumpy. While we passed by a barrio, I heard the children playing and crying and even the dogs barking. I smelled the feces of carabaos and chicken and even garbage and decaying animals, as if people didn't mind about it. We reached our destination, Ba-ang, Banao, Bauko. I saw booths and people enjoying and excited to meet us. My heart was beating faster and faster because of excitement. It was as if my heart would explode that time.
          The field was green and wide. I heard the birds chirping, cows mooing and insects buzzing. Near was a river where you can see people washing clothes and taking a bath. The great thing about the field was surrounded by pine trees which gave fresh air.

          People were sitting, putting up tents and some were cooking. I smelled delicious foods that were cooked, even from a distance. I heard the laughter of people excited and who enjoyed being there. Excitement was in the air that time.

          Then the jamboree proceeded. There were contests such as search for the cleanest tent, slogan contest, poster making and search for the troop that recycles almost everything. We all joined the contests. We tried our best in maintaining our tent clean. We submitted four posters and recycled most of our wrappers. Among these competitions, I got involved in the last contest, the slogan contest. I tried real hard to let our team win. We submitted five slogans and among these was my work.

          Every troop was determined to win the contests. Some roamed around to see for themselves the work of others. Some didn't mind if they won or lost, they just enjoyed what they were doing. All contestants, coaches and co-coaches were very persistent; some were panicking that they might not finish their work on time. But all of their works were completed before the judgment day.

          After all troops had submitted their outputs, the judges evaluated these. We looked at all the work of the others, they were all beautiful. They made hats out of papers and newspapers. They also made a purse out of food wrappers. Some of them made use of nature and others used artificial beauty. All of the works have their own originality.

          The most awaited day come. They were announcing the winners in every contest. In poster making, we ranked the second place, where we made use of nature as our theme.In recycling, we won fourth place, because we made place mat out of wrappers of juice which they said it's very common. In search for the cleanest tent, we ranked third. While in the slogan contest, my work was included in the top five. My work ranked number three. After hearing the result, we were so happy and overjoyed. But when we received our prize which was a bag of biscuit, most of our expressions turned sour. I was so angry for I hated the prize. Our coach said that we were still lucky to be in the top five in almost the entire event even though our works were simple compared to others that were very creative. After hearing what our coach said, we realized, especially me, that camping was all about sportsmanship, enjoying and having a price of biscuit was still worth the effort. Later that day, I found out from others that their prize was also a bag of biscuit. We enjoyed every moment and accepted every defeat at the camp from that day forward.
