My Experience in Punlaan


    During Grade 10 days, our Culinary Teacher referred us to study in Punlaan School.
She told us the benefits we can get if we enroll in this school.

"If you study in Punlaan, You can get 100% sure job there. The school will be the one
who will look for a job for you. 1 year in school, 1 year for OJT. Free ingredients and
Transportation Allowance!."

     Because of this, I get inspired and I want to study in Punlaan. But I lost hope because
5"2 in height is required. I always pray to God that Punlaan will still accept me despite
the fact that I am 5"0 flat. Until the entrance exam day came. I thought I won't able
to take the exam because of my height. But then, I feel thankful because they still let
me take the exam. I took the exam carefully and seriously. After class we are practicing
for our cheerdance. During the break, I checked my phone if my mother contacted me. But
it turns out,there is unknown number texted me. I've had a second thought if I am going to
open the message or not. I chose to open it. I get shocked when ma'am Angelina said that
I passed the entrance exam and we are having the Preliminary Interview, and I proceed to
Panel Interview and had a Medical Exam. Until the day of orientation and enrollment. I thank
God because he blessed me to study in Punlaan. I will prove that even though I am not that
smart, I am not that tall, I will do my best to be fit in this school.

     June 2, 2016. This day is very memorable. A new chapter of my life. I will never forget this
day because I am the earliest student who entered. As far as I remember, I came in 6:15 in
the morning. I doubt if there is really class. I laugh and told to myself, "Maybe I'm just too
excited."

     Days,weeks,months had passed. I can tell that I am happy and I am learning not only in academics
but also in real life. Punlaan School brought happiness in my life. Being a student in Punlaan is very
tiring. I experienced an extreme review for exams which I don't usually do even before. Looking for
a peaceful place to review, or during my traveling I spent my time in reviewing. Sleeping in the
jeepney because of being too tired, went to SM MOA alone with my bestfriend Len. I also learned
how to greet people I see because I don't greet at all. To talk to someone using English language
continuously. Getting advises from my mentor that can help me to improve my way of living. To have more faith.

     Now, we are in our baking laboratory, finishing the term 2.
