Graduation And Salary Distribution
I suppose this is what they mean by the "smile of success" after all, who wouldn't brighten when they received their salary, right? And due to my facemask, it's not really that obvious that I'm smiling, but I am.
Since the LGU provided the first half of our wage for SPES and the DOLE provided the second half, the first half of our money was actually already given to us last month, but the DOLE portion took much longer.
After a month, we can now declare that we have successfully completed our contract. SPES and PESO will jointly host a graduation ceremony for us to recognize our accomplishments. I'm still thrilled to go to a physical class, but because it's being held on the same day as my first laboratory physical class, I assume I'll need to take a leave of absence for this graduation. Actually, I'm writing this an hour before the event to pass some time before I attend the event. I'm wearing my SPES uniform and identity card for the final time, and all I want is the chance to be a SPES beneficiary once more over the next summer break.
I'm happy to say that after 20 days, I was able to become friends with a few frequent LGU staff members with whom I can still greet when we make contact now. I'm also considering what to buy for my family once I start receiving a paycheck because my mother will probably tease me later to "treat them out of my paycheck" just as she did when I was doing online selling. Given that the first half of my pay is immediately sent to my savings account in order to ensure that I won't continue to spend it on unnecessary purchases, I believe it is time for a celebration now that I'll receive my entire salary since I didn't have one before. Since I haven't made up my mind on what to get for my family yet, I imagine that I will continue to consider what I should buy to share with them both during and after this event.
