NARRATIVE REPORT
First week
“New environment”
“Job training empowers people to realize their dreams and improve lives”

-Sylvia Mathews Burwell

With this activity that I joined for the first time, I fully understand why it was called
an “immersion”. It is enable us to grow and to realize that life starts at the end of one’s
comfort zones. Having the immersion was really good start to experience how does it feel to
be in a work place. Finally work immersion was done, in four weeks. During my stay at
Municipal Social Welfare and Development office (MSWDO) I learned a lot of things. I
learn to value my time and disciplined myself in waking up early. During immersion week I
learned quite a few handy skills and information.

On my first day as trainee, I felt nervous to commit mistake because I was a student.
Ma’am Mercedes Pagulayan oriented us on the things we should do in her office. After that,
ma’am Haydee Canapi (MSWDO) and ma’am Mercedes Pagulayan gave us a task to do, we
count all OSY in every Barangay and then record it. Second is that we helped the staff to
entertain clients. On the other day our clients were senior citizens, I assist and interview some
of them. Until our first week is done.

Second week
“Learn new things”
“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life”
-Confucious
In my second week in my immersion. I was given the task to interview our client that
will undergo for pre-marriage counseling. I asked first their names, age, address, occupation,
and educational attainment. In whole week we just interview a client.

Third week
“Be patience”
“The only source of knowledge is experienced”
-Albert Einstein
It was our third week when theres a client for counseling. So we asked for helped to
Sir Rino. After that we wait again a client in a whole week we interview and entertain people.

Fourth week
“Mastered work”
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”
-Eleanor Roosevelt
In the 4th week, still we did what we used to do. Wait for a client and interview them.
After that we told to our client that they need to come back on Friday morning at exactly 8:00
am. After that our supervisor told us to have a disciplined. On Friday morning it is our last
day to our work immersion. As I enter to my workplace we fix all the chairs for our client.
They were going to have a counseling, while the lecturer is talking I just listened and don’t
make noise. They talked about what is marriage, family planning and the rights of child. In
the afternoon we just wait another client our workplace.

REFLECTION
These 160 hours of immersion is helpful and meaningful experience during Senior
High School days. It is amazing you can gain knowledge, ideas, insight and background in
choosing what course you are going to take in college. This experience helps me on how to
be a responsible, better person and a successful professional someday.

In my case, I was so to fortunate enough to have my immersion at municipal social


welfare and development office (MSWDO) because in the strand of HUMSS. I am very
much happy because working at MSWDO is one of my dream job in the near future and
spending my immersion there, even in just a short span of time had really opened my eyes on
how fun at the same time, stressful to work at social welfare. After a few weeks of
immersion, I have realized some things that will be useful for my future. First, discipline is
very essential, next is patience. Patience when it comes to clients especially in entertaining.

Next is respect it is very important to be respectful. And lastly, always posses a positive
attitude because positivity is next to tranquillity.

I learned how to manage my time carefully, making that I got to finish all the work
tasks as assigned to me. I learned how to interact with people in the workplace and I learned
how to professionally deal with people. I realized that social workers are not only skilled at
clinical, casework, group facilitation, family work, housing and financial referrals, intake,
crisis intervention and community development, they are also called to run-in services,
problem solve, listen, and advocate. My confidence has increased through their
encouragement and opportunities and to stop outside of my comfort zone and to try new
things. I am glad for another experience that I will treasure the most. There I have
experienced new things that aren’t familiar with the things I usually do at school.

Narrative Report
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”
In our first week in staying at MSWD we experienced a lot; Just like we interview our
client and assist them.
In our first day, we had one couple and these couple take the exam and hade marriage
counseling. After that ma’am Ched gave us some paper works to do. Second day I helped Sir
Gabriel to interview some client that is seeking for Financial Assistance. 3rd is that we also
assist the senior citizen until the last day of first week. In are last day of first week we have
also 5 couple. I think? Who take the exam and we told to come back on Friday. And these are
what I experienced in our first week.
Every time we have client I learned how to become patience, because patience is our virtue.
As a day’s pass by we learn something new, we experience everything new. In our 1st week I
observed that it’s not easy to become a social worker especially if you have a lot of client.
You really feel tiredness, Because in our first week our client is senior citizen and were really
tired when I go home I realized that as work we need to act like a professional to become
respect full especially for client.

Reflection
So far, my experience there was fun at the same time, I can say that it is also somewhat
boring because most of my time was wasted by sitting and waiting for nothing. Why?
Because there are seven immersion students there, including me. And because we were that
many, things to do are also divided .All you have to do is wait and be patience if there is
something that is assigned to you.

After a few weeks of immersion, I have realized some things that will really be useful for my
future. First, punctuality is very essential because in this simple way, you can how serious
you are to your job, next would be patience. Patience when it comes to the tasks that they’re
going to give you, as well as the times that you’re just waiting for the next task that will be
given to you, even if you already got bored waiting for nothing.
In our 160 hours stay in MSWD, we know how to mingle with different kinds of people we
met and we were glad to know about them. We admire the people there because they are very
friendly.

REFLECTION
One of the best moment you will experience during a grade 12 student is the work
immersion is a galactic blessed to experience this experience was a heartwarming. A
unforgettable one, by this moment I learned a lot. you will learned how life it is the reality of
being a successful one. For almost twenty days experiencing a work immersion outside the
campus I could say that it is such my first time to felt like a real employee that it should be a
responsible in every time. For me I learned that we should have a patient in doing a work or
task.
Be yourself and if someone disappointed at you don’t mind it rather prove to them
that you can do it for the second time better mostly listen carefully in every instruments of
your boss to avoid some mistakes. I learned that you should talk to them in a formal way,
train yourself to come early in your office manage your time and always at the exact time act
a matured enough.
In my experience I can say that I truly enjoyed every day I went to our agency
because they treat us like a real employee. They are very kind and generous, mostly they are
real with us and always advising us what are the better things we should do, they care us like
the way we did too the way you communicate to other like the way you talk to them must be
in a good manner and right conduct learned to love the things what must you hate to do wear
a formal dress in every time you will go to the office. Don't dress what you like and wants,
respect the rules and regulations learned to wait for the break time. This work immersion
experience taught me to be as a professional learned to listen others opinions. Respect all the
people you will met everyday leave a good memories and grab all the opportunity in your life
be a role model and prove that you deserve all the things you've done.
Having experience in a work immersion change me indeed make me as natured enough
bring me in the reality that life is full of struggles. Life is not early for achieving your dreams
and goals. Every success you're done behind is there are many mistakes and struggles that
you will encounter first. As I've experience this it helps me to get ready in advance so that
someday I know what are the things I will do and not being ignorant in doing a tasks in the
work don't be shy who you are. Have a confident at yourself.

REFLECTION

In our first week in the LGU is all that I can say is it’s a tiresome, but happy because
we have done a nice job and help them to minimize their works. I learned that being like
them who do the works is not easy, even if it is a file’s that need to sign .It also hard because
there many files to fix. And also in that first week I learned to understand well the writings of
the employees. In our second week I learned how to work on the Pass Slips and I learned how
to scan that I don’t know before .In our third week I learned that being alone in a work is very
hard ,because you need to hurry up your works to finish it on time ,and for you to finish all
the works that you need to do in everyday. In our days, weeks staying at LGU is tiresome, but
Im proudly saying, I was very happy that I was been there, because its good in the feeling that
you work, and I experience a lot that I never experienced before ,and I am happy also that I
meet other people that are kind, and to become their friend.

many people needed their services. I am so happy to be experience being them. Ma'am Ched

NARRATIVE REPORT

In just four weeks of staying at MSWD I learn so much things and experience what I
haven’t experience in my whole life. I also learn how to be more patient, and to communicate
with other people. And I learn too how to deal with their behavior.

On my first day as trainee, I felt nervous to commit mistake because I was just a
student. Ma’am Mercedes Pagulayan gave a brief orientation about her work in her office
after that she gave a task for us. Then, she and ma’am Haydee gave another work, we count
the OSY of every barangay and then record it. Second, are we helped the staff of DSWD
Regional to interview some of the senior citizen that is seeking financial assistance. Until we
finish our first week of staying at MSWD.

On the second week of our work immersion, we did not have much work to do.
Monday, we had just few clients that we interview and we gave test for their pre-marriage
counseling. Tuesday, we had just a couple of client that we interview and we gave test for the
pre-marriage counseling. And like also on the following days until we finish our 2nd weeks.

Third week of work immersion where there are few couples that arrive in the office
for the pre- marriage. Because ma’am Ched was absent that day we ask help from Sir Rino if
what we are going to do. And because Sir Rino was pity to the client he makes a way so that
they’re not going back for counseling.

Fourth week this is our last week of staying in MSWD, as usual we did what we
usually do in the office. Monday morning in that week ma’am Ched was get angry because of
some undisciplined that she observed that is not good to see, in the past few weeks. And
because of that she asked to us to go inside the office then, she gave us an activity to answer
it. After that she said that we’re going to explain our answers, after we explain it she gave a
brief advice to us about being disciplined and our limitation. Friday morning this is our last
day in our immersion. As I entered in the office we immediately arranged the chairs for our
clients that will undergo for counseling after a while the counseling was already started,
while the lecturer is ongoing. We just listening on their lectures about, what does marriage
mean is, family planning, and the rights of a child. After that we just been waited for another
client in our workplace until afternoon.

REFLECTION
“Experience is the most teachers of things” (Julius Ceasar).This quotes keep me reminding
me that I should be always grateful because I learn so much things once in my life. I realize
that having a work immersion was unforgettable experience and really good start to
experience how does it feel to be in work place. For the instance, I was very blessed to have
my work immersion in Municipal Social Welfare Development Office (MSWDO).
At first, I was really nervous to communicate with other people. I’m a quite person at
first, I never really talk up around with the people to whom I’m not comfortable with, unless
were so close. I thought that the staff there was rugged but I was wrong, they are so
approachable and communicative, ready to talk with and to impart the knowledge that they
have about working and other staff. So far, my experience in immersion was a pleasure and
fun at the same time. I can say that it is also somewhat boring because most of the time was
wasted we’ve done our task. Because there are seven work immersed including me. We were
that few so things to do are not divided. All you have to do is wait and be patient if there is
something that is assigned to you or if there is a couple of client to be interviewed. My most
memorable experience in work immersion was that, I interview and assist some of the senior
citizen that seeking financial assistance. It’s like you are a real MSWD worker, I really
enjoyed it.
After the work immersion, I discerned some things that will really be useful for mu
future. First, punctuality is very important because in this simple way, you can show how
serious you are to your future job, next would be honesty and sincerity because when it
comes to work place it’s actually has some way on your decisions; it can gain loyalty. Then,
consistency is especially important in work place because it will lead you to patience and
perseverance to the task that they’re going to give you, as well as the times that you’re just
waiting for the next task that will be given to you. I believe that if you are persistent you will
get it, if you are consistent you will keep it. Don’t stress out yourself for your work, if it is
not done yet, try to give a break then continue it, life goes on; breathe deeply, calm yourself
because calm people have better attitudes. Know your limitations because not all people can
deal with your personality, be a genuine and true person because being like that will makes
people happy to you. Always have a positive mind because positivity is next to tranquillity.
Surround yourself with a positive people because I believe that if you are always with
negative people who complain everything then you will also become a complainer and see
the world as negative as they do. Lastly, don’t be afraid to say what you want to say because
your opinion is a matter for everyone.
To sum up it all, I learn so much things and experience what I haven’t experience in
my whole life. I learn how to deal with their behaviour. I learn how to budget my time. I learn
to cooperate and my social life becomes wide because I’ve been together with so much
different kind of people. I am forever grateful for this experience that I will treasure the most.
