Certificate of Service as the student assistant at the computer lab 2013.
In 2012 I was so concerned about my
shyness. I was so shy and insecure because of where I come from and my previous
experience and body shaming I had to go through during my junior and high
school years.
I decided to apply for a
part-time job at the Computer lab as a student assistant on campus. I
submitted my curriculum vitae and they phone me and ask for my time table I
submitted it and I got the job. I was so excited and scared. I was excited that
I finally took an action about my problem and that I got a job, I would get an
extra income and at the same time, I was not sure what I was getting myself
into. Bear in mind that I was extremely shy plus I am from rural areas and cannot
communicate properly in English. But I had to face my fear and I hate limiting
myself.
I am a firm believer that they will
never be a perfect time for anything because the word perfect does not really
exist in real life. At the computer lab, I had to stand in front of the
students and walk around the lab attending to students query and make sure that
the students adhere to the rules and regulations of the lab. On the first day,
I did well and was excited about the next day and the students I was working
with were so helpful and that made things so easy and exciting for me. After
that I became a new person, I became better and more confident in my own skin. I
was awarded a certificate of service. I was so happy, proud and inspired by
myself.
