1. Where do I see myself 10 years from now? Was my learning in SPUP vital to where I'm leading to?

Ten (10) years from now, I see myself as a successful businessman, owner of 10 branches of computer hardware servicing and internet café all over the country.

My learning in SPUP is vital to where I’m leading to because in this institution their main focuses are the students. Much attention is given to us because they want the best for us. They don’t want our parents endeavor turn into trash so they are giving us the highest possible quality of education especially with our chose career or field.

2. Was IT the best course choice after all? (State the struggles you had in the course as well as convincing relatives/friends that it's the best course out there) Why not nursing?

At first, I don’t consider IT as the best course choice especially when I was in first year. I’m not really interested in this course. My parents were the one who decided of what course I am going to enroll. At that time, my sister was then a nursing student and I’m quite convinced that nursing is the right course for me to take but didn’t have the chance to tell this to my parents. As the school year started, my focused was nowhere to be found. I hate computers and I don’t have enough knowledge about it. At that time, I just let my sister do my project and watch her because as I’ve said a while back, I don’t have any interest about this course.

But 2 months later I’ve come to notice that I’m starting to love my chosen field. Why? Because I’ve realized that this course has much to offer. In our generation today, we can’t deny that technology is taking its place higher and higher and its our chance as IT students to take it as an advantage.

Why not nursing? It is simply because I’ve set my sister as an example. She passed her board exam last year and now is a registered nurse but don’t have yet a stable job. She’s working as a volunteer nurse for almost 6 months from now but don’t receive any salary or allowance. And I’ll never forget what the other nurses told my sister when she passed her board exam, “Welcome to the world of unemployment!” What I’ve also noticed is that, other nurses are not practicing their field in their chosen career. Some of them just apply to a telephone company as a call center agent just to have money. Nurses will just get rich if they go abroad but it also depends if they get lucky with the agency and hospital that they applied for. Compared to us IT students/ IT grad few months from now, we could just apply our chosen career without experiencing a lot of dilemma.  If you wish to apply in a company connected with your chosen field, it would be a lot easier to be hired for as long as you are equipped with full knowledge regarding IT but it won’t be a problem because what’s the point of graduating an IT course if you don’t know anything about it. Or if you don’t like to apply in a company and want to the boss of your own company, you can just make your own business like building an internet café and applying all you’ve learn like hardware servicing/ fixing a computer.

3. State everything you've learned in IT Management and Current Trends and the course subject experience itself. What part of it will you never forget?

What I’ve learn in IT Management and Current Trends are the generation of robotics and their laws. Through this, you’ll have the knowledge to create a robot. I’ve also learn the types of viruses and on how to fix it. One more thing is that, this subject helped me to become more updated with the newest trends of technology and who are those people behind the success of that matter.

The part or the experience that I will never forget in this subject was when we had a conversation and asked me what is the foolest thing that I’ve done to my girl and I my answer is that, “I don’t know sir, I just love her so much.” And the other one is when he shares to us his “kapalpakan” that he had done to a computer. I won’t also forget those words that he kept on telling us and that is, “I don’t want to see you guys to be just like an IT grad who’s just working as an encoder in a computer shop.” He also kept on telling us to study hard and that we can all do it. I really appreciate it a lot when he sacrifices his time to travel from Manila to Tuguegarao just to teach us and share his knowledge to us. And I thank him so much for imparting us not just his knowledge but also his experiences.
