Adulthood….funny stuff

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

I was always curious and excited about my life after college, so I went exploring things more independently. I thought it was time for me to free myself, I took off and went far from my home town. With courage and will to survive and thrive, perhaps, in an unknown and uncertain journey.

Job interviews…

Jumped into three job interviews right after making my decision, without any expectations. I did put my courage into great use, the self-confidence I developed mid-college and mustered courage. There I was, for the first time I was asked. What is it that you can contribute to the company? Frankly, I have no idea of how a job interview goes and I was like…This is it? It’s intimidating for a novice like me. I thought I’d fail, but to my surprise, I did make it! Passed all three interviews from different companies, and I chose the one that offered me to start right away.

First day…..

It wasn’t something that I expected, I felt like a rat inside a tiger’s den. People are looking at me with contempt. But, I ignored it all. I thrived and became the favourite of our department head (don’t get the wrong idea though) I became someone our department head trusted since I devoted my time and skills to good use, I was an auditor. I was surprisingly good at investigating things, since I was a criminology graduate, made sense.

But….

That wasn’t the first time kind thing that I wanted to talk about….rather…my first time to be in a medical. clinic for my pre-employment medical appointment. I wasn’t sick, I wasn’t worrying about anything including my health….

I was scared of needles! That pre-employment medical inclusion in my first things as an adult, sent me to a blackout after the nurse extracted some blood from me. I was shaking, I was trembling and I had no choice but to get through it. I fainted…it was the funniest thing I ever had in my entire life, and it left me with such a memory that I could not forget. My first time as an adult, an independent one!
