My first Experience

This last Christmas vacation, it was my first time to go to other places in the city without my parents with me. It was only me and my co-members in our group research were together for our project in Social Science. Well our project is about the women in society’s standards, how they were abused and etc.

That was the first time that I realized that having a research is very hard. First we went to DSWD but we can’t interview anybody without sending a letter of request. So What we did is that we have to return by the next day to hand our letter of request. After that day we were all very tired so we went to Ayala to go to the national bookstore to look for some books to buy if we have money.

The next day we return to DSWD to give our letter but it was not accepted because it does not have any signature of the subject teacher. It was very tiresome thinking that I could always enjoy if I was just staying in the house relaxing and watching Prince of Tennis and Hikaru no-Go but what can I do, if I will not do it early I will suffer in the end because I will have my research all alone. So I sacrificed my happiness for my project.

It was also very funny because we went to places which were not familiar to me that much because we were searching for “Lihok Pilipina”. We were lost in our way there and it was very hot and we were all very thirsty, hungry and tired walking many kilometers just to reach that place and we never thought that we were going to the wrong side of the street so we have to go back from where we started. Then at last we reached it. But we have to pass our letter too and fortunately we were scheduled right away.

When we went back to Lihok Pilipina to be there for our scheduled interview we waited there for an hour but they told us that the person we were about to interview had already left for manila the day before and we were again rescheduled for another interview. All of us were regretting on what had happened. So we returned home with a heavy heart thinking about what we thought before we went there that day that we will finally be done in all our burdens for that project. It is not only us who were sad with what had happened but also our parents who were expecting that after that day our burdens would be finished.

So again the next day we went there and thanks to God our interview was finished, infact they gave us some resources so that we would know more about everything that we have to know with regard to their program. After that we divided the work equally among us. A day after that my mother arrived from Manila and on the next day we left for Carcar and there I spent the rest of my vacation days with my cousins, uncles and aunts and of course with my family also.
