I was Entering as a working Student here in (NDKC)  Notre Dame of Kidapawan College, Kidapawan City, Philippines since 2005 of October. I was though that i have no chance to go to school because of financial problem that my parents cannot afford. but God Give me a chance and he listened my prayer that i can go to school to continue my study. I was very dissapointed when i was applying the month of June and there is no slot for me, I thought a hundred times how can I approach the Administator to accept me. In the month of September I went again to the NDKC to apply again for the second Semester hoping that they accepting me. I give my Application Letter to the Incharge and she said i will back next day for the exam, she added that if I will pass the exam she will accept me as a working student. I was so happy then preparing for the exam. During the Examination day I was so nervous yet prepared and surprise because the examination was so difficult it is more on abstract reasoning. The only thing that I put in my mind is to passed the examination. After the examination the examinee told me to back again next day. Since, I finish my examination at around 12:30 before I go home I eat first my Lunch.

                  I went back to the NDKC for asking if I will Pass the examination, the good news is I will passed and the Incharge of the said Scholarship (GIA) Grant in Aide said that i will be started on Monday, I so happy, Thanks God for answering my prayer. I came Back and first day of my work is cleaning the Comfort room, sweeping the ground and etc. this is basis and training for me, If i will survive the training then i will be a part of GIA Scholar or Grant in Aide. During the Enrollment I was get Difficulty on how to enroll my self. The thing that i do is to observe to the other enrolees also, then I did my enrollment in one day.

My Work as A Working Student (GIA Scholar)

           For One Semester  I will Assigned as a Janitor in The Comfort room of the School its hard for me at the same time Im shy to my Classmates  but later on I can handle it and proud to my self. Very enjoy when together with my co-working we are in duty time. sometimes if there are many students use the comfort room the thing that we should do is we put Moriatic acid on the floor because there are some students staying i the comfort room fixing their selves for almost 1 hour, so we put moriatic acid for them to go out the comfort room. Then we are staying at the stock room of the CR laughing for them and sometimes we say. Go away from here. sometimes we make them scared until they leave the comfort room. My duty is afternoon only during morning is my class ours. Sometimes when we are in duty, together with my companion we after we clean the area we scape from the duty and we go to the shopping market. After an our go back to the area and check if the area is still clean if not, we go to the Library and study our lessons. 

               For almost 6 months I will assigned to the Comfort room. Summer 2005 our adviser fired me from my duty area and she transfered me to the Presidents Office as Student assistant of the President’s Secretary it’s for almost 3 months only. But then the Presidents requested that he needs a big Muscled man to carry the cartoons and some documents, Our Adviser of the GIA transfered me again to the Registrar’s office High School.  At first I fell alone because my boss did not talk to me or even asking something, but days after days they talk to me and welcome to their heart. Until now for almost 3 years I stay here and fell comfortable with my boss.    

            First Semester is over, and now the second semester class is already started. First day of class there are many students are still enrolling and others are attending their classes.

           My class started on 9:30 in the morning, happy because we see each other again with my classmates and friends, but not shocking, our professors gave us many assignments and reports for the next day, its so challenging, its different. Different professors the same strategies. Now we are facing many homeworks and reports to do. Going to the Library, Internet for additional resources research here, research there, copying assignments to the classmates. Talking about copying assignments? its normal to the students, but for me, I always do my assignments and I did not copying to my classmates unless I got a difficulty on it. Most of the time, actually they are copying my assignments syempre studyante hindi talaga maiwasan yan I know you too are copying your assignments during your are in school right?.

             Doing my assignments I will do it alone because of the reasons. First, I want to fucos of what should i do. Secondly, I want to learn on my own and I want to give efforts on my works because if you do your own work you can answer of what your teacher asking. But today there are more student dependent on their classmates. I have my classmate one time a year ago she is always depend on her classmate, she even did not give effort if the teacher gave her the task such like reports.

           After my class, Go back to the office and work again as part of my taskas a working student. you know I am so happy as a working student because they gave me a chance to schooled again. I think the one factor they accepting me is because I am also a working student during my high school time. And because I promise them to do again of what i did during my high school performance. I am very thankful also because the administrator of the school accept me directly. I did not expect this. I am so happy because we are about 75 applicants as a working students and I am the one who are qualified. And now I am enjoying the benefits they are given to me. and I am so lucky because my bosses are good “Mga mababait” silang lahat
