Marks of a Noble Intern

"There was never been an overwhelming feeling than to be on the grandstand taking the bird’s eye view of the event. I had my goose bumps and a teary eyed."

In my four years of stay here in Cebu City, this was my first time to witness Sinulog sa Kabataan. I was tired then accomplishing the tasks given by our supervisor. My co-interns as well as I went here and there, so busy preparing for the necessary things for that event. I took the event as something so usual for it happened every January. What was I up to for that very moment was to have my long hours of stay on duty be credited on my daily time record.

I had the idea that as soon as the event would start, I and my co-interns will have our break. True enough, we were given some minutes to rest. But it was a little bit strange when the beat of the drums tried to hit our ears. We became lively and cheerful that we all went out and went on the VIP area of the grandstand. There was never been an overwhelming feeling than to be on the grandstand taking the bird’s eye view of the event. I had my goose bumps and a teary eyed. More than being so delighted on how the performers crafted the enthusiastic dance in honor of our dear Sto. Nino it was my great pride to be part of the making of that annual festivity. Even in my little ways, the event was made possible because of the true and noble pursuance of the tasks handed upon our palms.

I always see to it that I would never be a liability in the workplace specially that event organizing is a tough job to handle. Taking the initiative to accomplish a task is what I really learned about in my working area. It then enables the supervisor and the rest of the staff to draw positive thoughts on what we truly do and of course, the genuine trust always follows.

At the end of the day, though we were in so much exhaustion, taking this great chance to be part of this grandest celebration perhaps bare into our minds how professionalism works within us- to perform the best of us in the right place at the right time.
