 REFLECTION #1
CLEARANCES

GETTING CLEARANCES WAS AN EXPERIENCE

THAT TAUGHT ME THE IMPORTANCE OF
PATIENCE. I HAD TO WAIT PATIENTLY UNTIL IT
WAS MY TURN TO PROCEED.
IN CONCLUSION, MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
TOWARDS OBTAINING CLEARANCE TAUGHT ME
THE VALUE OF PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE.
 REFLECTION #2
RESUME

WRITING A RESUME WAS UNDOUBTEDLY A

NERVE-WRACKING EXPERIENCE FOR ME,
PRIMARILY DUE TO MY LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN
MY OWN ABILITIES. I FELT A WAVE OF ANXIETY
WASH OVER ME, QUESTIONING WHETHER I HAD
ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO
SHOWCASE.
OVERALL, THE EXPERIENCE OF WRITING A
RESUME WAS NERVE-WRACKING, BUT IT
ULTIMATELY TURNED INTO A VALUABLE LESSON
IN THE POWER OF COLLABORATION AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF LEANING ON THE SUPPORT OF
OTHERS.
 REFLECTION #3
BIODATA

WRITING A BIODATA PROVED TO BE AN

ANXIETY-INDUCING EXPERIENCE FOR ME,
MAINLY BECAUSE I LACKED CONFIDENCE IN MY
OWN ABILITIES. DOUBTS LINGERED, MAKING IT
CHALLENGING TO ACCURATELY PORTRAY MY
SKILLS AND ACHIEVEMENTS. HOWEVER, I AM
INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE TIMELY
INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT OF MY
CLASSMATE.
IN CONCLUSION, IT TAUGHT ME THAT EVEN IN
MOMENTS OF SELF-DOUBT, THERE ARE OFTEN
INDIVIDUALS AROUND US WHO RECOGNIZE OUR
POTENTIAL AND ARE WILLING TO EXTEND A
HELPING HAND.
 REFLECTION #4
APPLICATION LETTER

WRITING AN APPLICATION LETTER HAS ALWAYS

BEEN A DAUNTING TASK FOR ME. THE THOUGHT
OF PRESENTING MYSELF EFFECTIVELY ON PAPER
TO SECURE A JOB OPPORTUNITY SEEMED
OVERWHELMING. THANKS TO MY CLASSMATE
KARL, WHO SHOWCASED MY SKILLS AND
ENCOURAGED ME TO APPLY FOR A SPECIFIC JOB,
I GAINED A NEWFOUND CONFIDENCE IN MY
ABILITIES.
IN CONCLUSION, IT ALLOWED ME TO DELVE DEEP
INTO MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY, ASSESS MY
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, AND CLARIFY MY
CAREER GOALS.
 REFLECTION #5
MOCK INTERVIEW

MY FIRST MOCK INTERVIEW WAS UNDOUBTEDLY

A NERVE-WRACKING EXPERIENCE, I CAN'T HELP
BUT ACKNOWLEDGE THE OVERWHELMING
ANXIETY AND NERVOUSNESS THAT CONSUMED
ME THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. AS IT WAS MY
FIRST TIME PARTICIPATING IN SUCH AN EVENT,
THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN AND THE PRESSURE
TO PERFORM WELL WEIGHED HEAVILY ON MY
SHOULDERS.
IN CONCLUSION, IT ALLOWED ME TO CONFRONT
MY FEARS AND GROW AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
 REFLECTION #6
WORK IMMERSION
DAY 1

MY FIRST DAY OF IMMERSION I FOUND MYSELF

PRIMARILY INVOLVED IN THE BACKEND
OPERATIONS, ASSISTING MY CLASSMATES
THROUGH IN THE BACK.
AS I SPENT MY TIME ON THE PHONE, I DEVELOPED
A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF CUSTOMER
PREFERENCES AND NEEDS. MY EXPERIENCE IN
ASSISTING CUSTOMERS OBSERVING THE
EFFORTS OF THE SALES TEAM HAS PROVIDED ME
WITH VALUABLE INSIGHTS.
 REFLECTION #7
WORK IMMERSION
DAY 2

MY SECOND DAY OF IMMERSION, I HAVE COME

TO APPRECIATE THE ART OF PERSUASION AND
THE IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION IN INFLUENCING CUSTOMER
DECISIONS.
ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN
THE FACE-TO-FACE INTERACTIONS WITH
CUSTOMERS, I PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN
SHAPING THE IMAGE OF PASTILLAS THROUGH MY
POSTERS AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS.

WORK IMMERSION
DAY 3

THIRD DAY OF WORK IMMERSION, AS I ARRIVED

EARLY, I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEND A
HELPING HAND TO MY GROUP IN ARRANGING
OUR BOOTH.
PARTICIPATING IN THE BAZAAR AND SELLING
OUR PASTILLAS WAS A REWARDING EXPERIENCE.
IT TAUGHT ME THE VALUE OF TEAMWORK,
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF BELIEVING IN WHAT YOU'RE
SELLING.
 REFLECTION #9
WORK IMMERSION
DAY 4

THE LAST DAY OF SELLING OUR PRODUCT,

PASTILLAS, I AM FILLED WITH A SENSE OF
ACCOMPLISHMENT AND SATISFACTION. AS THE
LAST DAY OF OUR SALES CAMPAIGN
APPROACHED, THE EXPERIENCE OF SELLING
PASTILLAS AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENT HAS BEEN BOTH
ENLIGHTENING AND REWARDING.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
PART OF THIS PROJECT AND FOR THE VALUABLE
LESSONS LEARNED ALONG THE WAY.
 REFLECTION #10
WORK IMMERSION
DAY 5

THE FIRST DAY OF THE EVENT, HUGYAW, WAS

PARTICULARLY MEMORABLE AS WE SET UP OUR
STALL WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION.
THE EXPERIENCE OF SELLING OUR BEEF TAPA AT
THE BAZAAR AND HELPING MY CLASSMATES
WAS A VALUABLE LESSON IN
ENTREPRENEURSHIP, COLLABORATION, AND
PERSEVERANCE. IT TAUGHT ME THE IMPORTANCE
OF EFFECTIVE MARKETING, CUSTOMER
ENGAGEMENT, AND THE POWER OF TEAMWORK.
 REFLECTION #11
WORK IMMERSION
DAY 6

THE LAST DAY OF THE HUGYAW EVENT BROUGHT

WITH IT A MIX OF EXCITEMENT AND
EXHAUSTION, BUT IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
MY CLASSMATES AND ME TO COME TOGETHER
AND SHOWCASE OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS. I
VIVIDLY REMEMBER STANDING BESIDE KARL IN
THE BACK OF OUR BAZAAR STALL, PATIENTLY
WAITING FOR THE RICE TO COOK. SELLING BEEF
TAPA AT THE BAZAAR WAS NOT JUST ABOUT
MAKING A PROFIT; IT WAS ABOUT COMING
TOGETHER AS A TEAM, LEARNING VALUABLE
ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS, AND CREATING
LASTING MEMORIES.
IN CONCLUSION, THE EXPERIENCE TAUGHT ME
THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSEVERANCE,
ADAPTABILITY, AND COLLABORATION IN
ACHIEVING SUCCESS, AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF
SUCH AN ENRICHING EXPERIENCE.
 REFLECTION #12
OVERALL
REFLECTION

DURING MY WORK IMMERSION, I HAVE HAD AN

INCREDIBLE OVERALL EXPERIENCE THAT HAS LEFT
A LASTING IMPACT ON ME. THROUGHOUT THIS
JOURNEY, I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK
ALONGSIDE EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS WHO
HAVE GUIDED AND MENTORED ME, ENABLING ME
TO GROW BOTH PERSONALLY AND
PROFESSIONALLY.
OVERALL, HUGYAW WAS A CELEBRATION FILLED
WITH JOY, ENTHUSIASM, AND A TRUE SENSE OF
COMMUNITY. IT PROVIDED AN AVENUE FOR
EVERYONE INVOLVED TO SHOWCASE THEIR
TALENTS, PASSIONS, AND CREATIVITY. THE
EVENT NOT ONLY PROVIDED ENTERTAINMENT
BUT ALSO SERVED AS A PLATFORM FOR
INDIVIDUALS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES,
INSPIRING OTHERS AND CREATING LASTING
MEMORIES. I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO THE
TEACHERS FOR ORCHESTRATING THE HUGYAW
EXPERIENCE, AS IT HAS ENRICHED MY LIFE IN
COUNTLESS WAYS AND ALLOWED ME TO
WITNESS THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF
COLLECTIVE CREATIVITY AND CELEBRATION.
