What a Wonderful Experience!

Life is really, really great! I had finished my practicum  in Bontoc, Mt. Province. Last January, I had been down about the results of my medical examination. But God is great! There was just a mistake about the chest x-ray result.  I can't still believe it. It was already done and the most important thing is that I am healthy.

My stay in Mt. Province was very challenging. In this field experience we were able to reach out with people. In return, they showed us life in reality. These people made me realize that human ecologist has a great role in the society. As I had worked with these people, I became more concerned for their development. I became more responsive to the needs of the community. Working with them in this field experience gave me inspiration to strive more and continue what I have started as a student taking this course.

Like other works that I have experienced, this practicum will be a memorable one. However, it was different because in this practicum, I saw things more clearly. I was able to apply the different things I have learned in my course subjects. I was honored to work with people with different personalities, different cultures and different beliefs that made this experience interesting.  This field experience taught us how to do things in different ways. We managed to finish the study even many trials had encountered by the team. This field experience taught us how to be more decisive and thrive well for a common goal.

Every day in Mountain Province was a new learning experience that someday will help us more readily adapt to new situations. This learning experience from this practicum deepens our character and makes us more inspiring to the people around us. But it will not be the last for it is in the different experiences that we learn new things.

To Team Lubon, thank you for the wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing your life with me in the practicum, I learned a lot from our individual differences. I will miss the things that we did in Bontoc including household chores and the different surprises. I will never forget how we did our data gathering in Lubon, tadian. Lastly, it will always be remembered how we survived the adventure in sagada, Thank you for the friendship. I will miss you, my younger sisters and brothers.
