Narrative:



Best Summer Ever

A year ago, I’ve experienced the most productive and memorable summer ever in my whole life. There was this opportunity offered by an agency located mainly in Manila to go to the United States of America (USA) with a specific location of Virginia Beach, Virginia. The visa that they offered was a J1 Visa or also called as Student Visa, which allows student to work in USA in a limited time of three months. I, as an on-going fourth-year student by that time was in doubt of the offer for I’m afraid that maybe it was just a scam and in fact a graduating student has a lot of necessities to be made. But due to the influence of my friends who were really interested, I was convinced. The preparation was tough and hassle for there are a lot of requirements and steps to follow. It includes the getting of a passport and the most knee-shaking part was the interview in the US Embassy. Thank goodness I fulfilled and accomplished all of it. So it is really a “Hello America!”

It was my first time to go outside of the country. It was also my first time to be apart to my family for the longest time. It was also my first time to work. In my first and a half month stay, I have worked for two jobs. My main job was a rental attendant in Cherie’s Bikes and Blades Rentals (CBBR). I am responsible for fitting guests with rental equipment, advising them in proper use and care of equipment, and monitoring the return of equipment. Also maintaining a clean and organized rental shop. Compute and record the cost and accept payments. I worked as a part-time in a factory of US Surf as an inventory associate, that works with the company supply chains to make sure that inventory is on route, on shelves and well-stocked. Also record keepers for materials, report creators and supply trackers. After a while, I resigned to CBBR due to my manager’s unfair treatment. By that, I also gave up the factory. With perseverance and luck maybe, I was hired to be a housekeeper in the Best Western Oceanfront VA. I am responsible for making sure all assigned areas of the hotel are clean, neat and tidy.  Assist and accommodate the needs of the guests. After shift, I worked as a part-time sales associate in seven-eleven (7-11). In which I provide prompt, efficient and courteous customer service. Maintain a clean, customer friendly environment in the store. Ring customer sales on an electronic cash register. Receive cash from customers and give correct changes. Perform all regular cleaning activities and other tasks that are included on job assignments. Yes, I have to work two jobs to survive the living expenses and for travel purposes especially on rest days. In my new jobs, I enjoyed my stay for I have gained new friends. The managers and inspectors were also taking good care of me and treated me well.

It felt that time was ticking so fast. For the time came that I needed to go back to the Philippines. It was hard to say goodbyes to the people that became a part of my best summer. Also, the memories and the place. Working in America made myself to become a strong independent woman, to exchange cultural differences, and to gain unforgettable memories and friends.

Descriptive:


The Country’s Eagle

Rodrigo Roa Duterte, known as “Digong” and dubbed as “The Punisher”, for his strong image and voice to influence and discipline everyone. He was a Mayor of Davao City, a highly urbanized city on Mindanao islands for seven terms, totally more than twenty-two (22) years. He has also served as Vice- Mayor and as a Congressman for the city. He is the first Mindanaon President of the country.

Passed through the large sized door and walked in a heavy fabric carpet of Malacañang, Digong together with his two handsome sons and two elegant daughters made a grand entrance as the country welcoming him with full of love and support as the new elected leader and as the sixteenth President of the Philippines. Smartly dressed in a Barong Tagalog with a design of the Philippine flag, he truly represents the country and not just a mere color of a party. His oval shaped face with wrinkled skin and stands archly, showing that he’s already aging. Also, you can see it through his eyes that he is compassionate and loving to his beloved country. In his speech, you can say that he is a man of his words. Whatever he will say, must be put in action.

“A leader must be a terror to the few who are evil in order to protect the lives and well-being of the many who are good.” A quote from him expressing that behind of being a bad-ass, his inner self showing a soft-hearted being that only wanted the greater goodness of his beloved country, the Philippines.
