LIFE AFTER GRADUATION IS REALLY SCARY, FOR ME.

I AM DONITA MARIE B. MANTUANO, TAKING UP BSBA-FINANCIAL

MANAGEMENT, AND CURRENTLY A 3 RD YR STUDENT.

LET ME TALK ABOUT TRUE CALLING. The question “How do you see yourself years
after graduating?” is not new to us. If anyone was scared about graduating, it was me.
Like many of my peers, I must have missed the lecture about finding your true calling.
But, my relatives keep on reminding me that I have a job waiting for me. My aunt kept on
saying, “Just three more semesters, you will be the one to replace my position in the
bank when I retire. I recommended you to the office already.”

LETS PROCEED TO THE EXCITEMENT AND PRESSURE. Do know what it feels like to
get excited on the offer and at the same time feel pressure about your environment? It is
not that easy. I’ll tell you. Even though others might say, “You’re lucky, you have a sure
job that is waiting for you.”

Yes, I consider myself fortunate but, that is not always the case. I don’t want to be
dependent about that specific thing. I don’t want me to feel that very assured and tranquil
just because something’s waiting for me. I just want to finish my studies without pressure
and without the feeling of much assurance.

GOD’s WILL. If it is in God’s will and I really got the job that my aunt’s offering me, I will
be happier because I will not be hanging after graduation. I will just only take the
necessary requirements to pass the job and get an experience or best, enjoy the job and
be promoted to a much higher position.

Needless to say, I wasn’t exactly lost with nowhere to go. I’m sure that I will not reach a
dead-end but a cross-road and I will be more careful in choosing the right exit. Reaching
22 years old, I know I have a lot of options more than I realize. And what’s important is to
become a famously strong-willed and decisive human-being to know where life would
take me.
