On this day, May 19, 2003, I had the privilege of graduating from a diploma course at STI Ilagan. Following my graduation, I was fortunate to be offered a position at the same school, initially serving as a Librarian based on my qualifications. I am grateful to Sir Rolando B. Fernandez, the COO of STI Ilagan, who recommended me to our superiors and played a pivotal role in my hiring process.
My experience working at STI Ilagan was immensely enjoyable. I had the opportunity to interact with students from various towns across Isabela province, forming lasting connections and memories along the way. While there were undoubtedly both pleasant and challenging moments, I believe it is important for us to embrace the experiences and lessons learned, and to move forward with a positive outlook. After all, we live in a free country where we have the freedom to chart our own paths and pursue new opportunities.
