After 3 and a half years, I’ll finally get to take on one of the biggest hurdles of my course, the internship. And to make it all official, we had the coolest ever pinning ceremony the other day. It was supposed to be solemn and forma,l but I guess solemn and formal doesn’t fit our batch that much. It was really fun and memorable for me even if it was just simple. I’m a bit sad though because my mom was not around since she had a seminar at Tagaytay that was scheduled earlier. But I understand because she doesn’t really have a choice. I was still glad because my sister came though she came very late. I still loved that she was around. I wanted to show you lots of photos during the event. However, because my dad was the only one present during the ceremony, I didn’t have that much photos since he’s not really the techie kind of guy. I had the opportunity to have my pictures taken and to take pictures only before and after the ceremony. It’s good enough though. At least, I have some remembrance. So here you go.
I got bored so I did this while waiting for my dad to bring me my white uniform.
Me in my white uniform! Yay! I think I look weird though.
Now I think you should meet my family. Meet my dad! A lot of people tell me we look a lot. They say I’m a carbon copy of my father. I’m not entirely sure if I agree with that. Hehehe. You be the judge.
One thing is quite evident in this picture: my dad and I don’t share the same skin color. But I’m not really sure if this has always been his complexion. Maybe he was lighter back then. I think asking him would be a good thing to do. Oh well. So, here’s a picture of my sister and I. We’re a bit wacky.
Now, meet a few of my batch mates and friends.
In all these things, I give glory to God. I actually asked God that for a birthday gift, I wanted to be an intern. But lately, He has been giving me so much more. It’s overwhelming how good He is! There’s a lot of miracles to this achievement and I can really say that if it wasn’t for God, I would have not reached this point in my life. It’s amazing how God works and He never fails to leave me in awe all the time. It’s amazing how He loves and how generously He gives to His children. I just am so happy.
The pinning ceremony is not even the beginning yet. It is however the mark that I am beginning a new journey. That journey begins soon. I am glad that I am here, but I also feel nervous, scared, and very uncertain. I know that I am not the most skillful person among my batch mates, but this is still a learning experience, an opportunity for me to develop my skills. And as another day passes by and I get closer to the beginning of my internship, I’m reminded of what my cousin told me: I can do this because I have God who will help me. The past years have been evident of God’s ever present help for me, His grace and His love. Thus, I will face this experience with hope and just know that God is on my side, and I will finish this. I will give what I can to honor my parents, and most of all, to honor God who has given me this great opportunity.
