Time flies! It seems that me and my husband were just thinking on how to start and how to end the winter camp. Now, it was over.
I learned a lot from this project. First, I discovered that no matter how tired and sleepy I am, I can still manage to wake up early in the morning to prepare for the whole day's classes. Second, I learned that, me and my husband can work together minus arguments. I also discovered that his patience is to the nth level when it comes to work related issues. But most of all, I again proved that religion can not guarantee one's attitude; that even if the person is not devoted to whatever religion, there is a tiny part of kindness in his heart.
Lots of things happen in just 21 days. I experienced that in terms of work, some Filipinos are proven to be lazy. They want an easy going job. A job that won't use their intellectual capacity. It's just irritating to know that I have seen this disappointment from a friend. A friend that I have to erase from my list.
I have also discovered that there are people who are insensitive and too slow to catch up weather you like to be close to them or not. I don't want to be rude at that time but I have to, just to show her that our working relationship won't go beyond it. I just couldn't imagine that I still have to tell her frankly that I don't like to be her close friend.
I also proved that a college degree won't guarantee that a person is suitable for the job. An English major who can't even pronounce the word "laugh" properly. She is even proud to tell me that she graduated with high grades. I wonder what kind of teachers she had?
The worst of all that I discovered that there is really a person who loves to take advantage of other people. Why is it that if they see foreigners, their eyes can only see the dollar sign. OMG! If only I can tell them that this person is also working hard to have a comfortable life.
Anyway, I am thankful that I have known people like them. This only tells me that we have to be careful next time. And we also learned that we have to be selfish sometimes. There is a saying goes, "In business, you have to slay your family, your friends and even your love ones," specially if they deserve it.

OMG! She couldn't pronounce the word "laugh" despite the fact that she graduated with honors and to think that she was an English major. *rolls eyes* Aigoo! I guess not all people who have a diploma are qualified. Some, heaven forbid, perhaps just paid their way through the top. Who knows? *shakes head* This just proves that even college drop outs can excel in something as long as they put their hearts into it.
Definitely right bes! Education doesn't guarantee success. :)
