Last Saturday, I went for the Service Excellence Training at William Angliss Institute. Partially, I regretted why I applied for the event usher job alone instead of persuading my friends to go along. However, on the other hand, I felt that I have made a right decision because I stepped out of my comfort zone to conquer my fear. Through the training , I met people who came from different walks of life. The knowledge on providing quality customer service imparted was somehow much similar to what I have learnt in my diploma.3 years of studying Retail Management did helped me in someway. I would considered this training beneficial because sports hub paid for our training and we could get a certified WSQ certificate.However, there's still written & oral assessment before we can made through it.
Recently, I started doing some serious reflection. What I want to do in life. How the part time jobs I'm taking up will benefit me in anyway. When my music instructor questioned me on which career path I'm gonna take on after I get my degree, I could not give her a precise answer because I'm also uncertain of my goal in life....
I realized that I have been working hard. I'm really proud of myself. Ever since I'm 16 , I started working part time. I stopped relying on my parents for my monthly allowance when I'm 17. I learn to be independent since then and I work to pay for what I wanted. I don't buy branded stuffs, etc. Maybe that's why my parents allowed me to pursue what I have interest in, from learning language to music. Besides that, I have no curfew , I could go overseas with my friends during holiday. I'm really fortunate. Because of my situation, I have grown to be mature in my thoughts and actions. The parents at my working place are always saying that I'm sensible and hardworking, and how can I juggle between work and study. Believe me, you can handle them well if you have parents in their 50's still working hard to lessen your tuition fees burden. And yes, I have no social life. I work from morning to evening every weekends, and sometimes after school. But I still believe that few more years down the road, my life will be better than now. Not only that, one of my friend's situation is worrying. Besides Univ fees & Poly repayments, she had an additional house mortgage to pay. And she's of the same age as me. However, we are optimistic that our life will be better after we get through all these hardship. The hurdles in our life.
Another thought in mind was regarding to my FB status few days ago.
