Plans after College

03-14-22 | Eurydice

Our college graduation will be few months from now but I'm still undecided of my plans after my exit. It's just so satisfying to look back in the past where I was still in Middle school. I was a hopeless girl that time because I'm not certain if I can study in college due to financial problems. But with the help of our Lord, I was able to find ways and here I am, a graduating college student after almost 4 years of suffering, I mean almost 4 years of studying.

I'm a little bit sad as of the moment because I don't have work experiences. I'm still here in our house and I felt like I'm already a burden to my parents. This made me decide to apply for a work and I'm now waiting for my phone interview. This will be my second attempt of finding job and I hope I'll succeed this time.

The feeling of being a burden and "palamunin" even if I'm already in the right age to find work really hits me hard. It's just so sad because I was included in the K-12 program. I got jealous of my batchmates who were able to earn money and help their family. But I'm still happy because my family are very supportive to me. They didn't pressure me to find job and advised me to study well instead.

Since they were so supportive and they believe in my capabilities, I decided to make a list of my plans after I graduate. According to my teacher, planning will make everything organized and methodized. Through planning, I'll be able to be guided on what to do with my life.

My plans after college

Find a job

I really wanted to experience what it feels like to become an employee. Someone who needs to finish a specific tasks in exchange of salary. My first three choices is to apply for a position of office staff, english tutor and CC agent. Firstly, I wanted to become an office staff because I love to manage filing system, record information, update paperworks, maintaining documents and word processing. Secondly, I also love to become an english tutor especially in Chinese students because I have a little bit background of basic Chinese terms since we have a Mandarin Subject when I was in first and second year college. Lastly, I want to become a Call center agent because of salary. That's it.

Take review classes for LET

To tell you honestly, I'm not confident of the knowledge that I have right now. Last week, the PRC posted the list of the LET passers and I was shocked because out of 22,454 examinees, only 12,074 passed under the secondary level. Looking at this results, I was afraid that I might not able to pass that's why I really need to take review classes. Aside from that, I'm not that good in Math. I know how to do simple equations but I'm still afraid because I'm not that good in analysis especially in problem solving. I really need to focus on this subject.

Establish my own business

My boyfriend and I talked about this already. I told him that I wanted to become a business owner. I want to manage my own time, I want to do whatever I want. I want to be a boss to be exact. He then gave me an idea of the possible business opportunities that we could take in the future. "WE" because he will surely be my business partner. I really need him because he's excellent in Math and that is his forte since he graduated business administration. I'm hoping to achieve this plan with him by my side.

Closing Thoughts:

Planning ahead of time will help us to be guided on what to do in the future. Those plans that I have mentioned will be my motivation to strive harder. We are responsible for our own future that's why we need to exert our 101℅ efforts in preparing not just our own future, the future of our family but for the future of our kids as well.

Let me end this by giving you this qoute:
