The First Day

The First Day...technically




Yesterday was more of an introduction or the “getting to know the place” part, where there was more of me fixing the papers and our immersion teacher getting things clear with the optometrist than getting actually "immersed" with optometry. But still, technically speaking, yesterday was the first day of my immersion.




I reckon I could say that the first day of my immersion went smooth enough. I immersed at the Eye Power Clinic which is at Poblacion, Nabunturan ComVal. I guess one could say that I was somewhat of a nervous wreck in the morning as I didn’t know what to expect from the immersion proper, much less know the attitude of the one that is supposed to be guiding me through it. I fixed a few papers here and there, and got ready to get to my immersion spot. When I actually got to the place however, I realized that my anxiousness was for naught, the optometrist was super friendly and I reckon I would learn a lot from her for the next couple of weeks. She let me go home early as she was going to go somewhere so the day basically ended with basically just an introduction. I can’t help but say I’m a bit hyped about what I'd discover and the things I'd learn from this entire experience. 
* As one might notice, there really isn't any pictures on the inside of the clinic...that's because I really can't bring myself to take pics inside on my first day.
*Today I also discovered the post title feature located above the page where you write the post...yup, it took me that long to notice that.

The last day of the first time

Yesterday was the last day of the first time I got to observe and learn what I’d probably be doing six years from now. Going into the clinic yesterday wasn’t as stressful as the first time I went there (as that was more of me being paranoid so as to what would my situation there would be), it was more of, like the previous days, me thinking of what other new things I’d get a glimpse of or experience that’d help me picture out what I may be doing in the near future. The day went off fine, the doctor explained a few stuff to me, like finding the optical center of a lens and stuff, and gave me an idea of how to translate computer readings into useful information that you can use, and how to write them in a prescription as well. The day flew quite fast after but I believe I could say that I learned a lot during that day, just like the last ones, and I’m really thankful to them having me there and welcoming me. Looking back, the whole experience really gave me some enligh

Just a Post on Human Trafficking    Human trafficking occurs when humans are used for the purpose of forced labor, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker. It may include providing a partner in the context of forced marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and evisceration. Human trafficking is considered as a crime against the person amply due to the violation of the victim's freedom of movement through coercion or because of commercial exploitation.    Although human trafficking may vary from different areas, it almost always targets and tries to exploit vulnerable situations. Persons that seem to be vulnerable can easily fall prey to human traffickers. We see these in multiple different circumstances. One of the root causes of human trafficking is political instability, or amply poor political conditions, which may lead to a country having civil unrest, militarism, and an image of it as constantly havin

Some of the stuff that I learned...

I learned quite a few things during the immersion period, here are 18 things summarizing what I learned during that period of time. 1 Being punctual- Apparently during most of the time of my immersion period my parents weren’t at home (during in the morning) so no one really did wake me up during that time. Something compelled me to arrive early however, (maybe it was the fear of disappointing my supervisor there) and somehow I managed time really well and got on time every day (or at least most of the times). 2 Taking the initiative on doing certain tasks and being adaptable- During the immersion period I learned how to build up confidence and take responsibility for my actions, as well so doing certain tasks without needing to be ordered to do so. One must also be attentive as to the available work at hand or if someone needs aid in doing something. Furthermore, I also realized that for one to be efficient at doing his /her job one must be willing to get out of his/her
