Accountancy is way different from what I have imagined. Though it has been my choice
in high school, I was expecting it to be more on math-like problems and procedural
computations. Since I was never been patient enough in memorizations, never I once
thought of becoming a nurse nor a doctor in the future. What made me settled in this
course is because it was introduced to me as an in demand in the industry when I was
choosing a career that can easily give me a decent job that could be helpful to my
parents in the future. Unfortunately, I realized in my second year that I should not
underestimate my course as what I did in high school. I completely forgot that Business
Law is also essential in this course which caught me off-guard. My greatest challenge in
this course is memorization and in addition to that, wide coverage of topics which
makes it more difficult to comprehend.
Gratefulness and Confidence. Those are the qualities I imprint on myself for the past
few years. Gratefulness - to all generous and kind people who have helped despite my
incompetence in some areas and granted me a chance to further improve myself in
some ways. And Confidence - from all the experience and lessons that gave me
courage and strength to achieve my goals and to believe in myself no matter how
difficult the obstacles I will be facing might be.
Fortunately, I was able to continue this course in such prestigious school with high and
demanding standards. Never have I choose to leave things half done nor accomplish
tasks recklessly because ever since I was young, my parents have persistently
inculcate to me that I must be responsible enough to take the consequences to my
decisions. Regardless if my decision is right or wrong, I must be strong enough to take a
stand on my actions and thoroughly grasp any lesson I can learn from all situations. A
wise and commendable person used to say, Once you start something, dont stop
until youre done., never lose hope on whats in front of you and just think of how
good and happy you will be once you reach the end of your goals.
This is Michelle Angelli T. Capiral, an upcoming fourth year student, and is delighted to
share to you my experiences and lessons I have learned during my internship program.
Aiming to give you anticipation and encouragement after taking a sip on how the reality
and environment of this career would look.

I was designated in the Accounting department of the Head office. My tasks are quite
wide but inconsistent since every working day, I am assigned with different activities
that are challenging and exciting. I consider it advantageous and better because I can
have a hands-on experience on different tasks. Fortunate for me who can do better if
such tasks are accomplished directly.
V. Practicum Dictum
Furthermore, they also thought me the best attitude during work which is to be
respectful, observant, and disciplined. Being respectful is the feeling or showing
deference and respect to another person or group. This attitude should not only be
directed to the superiors but also to my fellow co-workers. It shows effective
communication which will be helpful in all times. For instance, I am having a hard time
solving portions of my tasks but with my co-workers help, Ill be able to solve it faster
rather than answering it on my own which would take a lot of time. Another is being
Observant which means, I have to be quick in noticing things. This will help me
accumulate positive points from my superior for being vigilant and quick-minded which
is very advantageous in business. If a person is quick in noticing situations, he would be
the first to think of a solution which could answer the problem approaching. The last
attitude is being Disciplined. This is one of the most essential attitude which
substantially affect your co-workers impression of you. Similar to the attitude I have in
school, being disciplined in all times show my passion and commitment to such task.
This is why discipline is thoroughly engraved to students to become a better adult.
Cordial Greetings! I would like to extend my appreciation and happiness to you for
successfully graduating and passing the board exam. It is my greatest honor to
welcome you in this field of profession since it takes a person with competence and
passion to overcome all the hardships and struggles in college. I hope this journal will
be helpful to you as you go in the real world of business. It will be more fun if I could
meet you as my co worker and will be delighted to teach the ropes in this field of work.
Be confident but never forget to be modest enough to admit mistakes and always be
grateful so you can enjoy your work with honor and dignity. I will be looking forward to
see you and may God bless you and your family.
Truly yours,
Michelle
I have been wondering how you are doing there. I wish that by time you set your eyes to
read this journal again you finally became a CPA and settled on a decent job. Just focus
on your goals. Remember when you are still 19 years old, you aspire to become a CPA
to help your parents and give them a peaceful and comfy life ? You also promised
yourself that you have to provide funds for your future dogs! Well, all of us have our own
reason why we work hard. One things is of course our never ending gratitude to our
parents who have done so much that they chose to sacrifice their happiness for our
sake. Dont just think of your own happiness and remember to give importance to them
first.
Another thing is that for an accomplishment for yourself. We both hate having regrets
and weve had enough of it. Do not hesitate because remember the times when we
doubt ourselves ? We just downgrade ourselves and never see the true gem hidden
underneath. Be confident because we have already made it this far. It is now our time to
keep our head held high and chin up. Just dont forget to courteous and kind. Always
take opportunity of what is in front of you. Work hard at all times and believe in yourself
because you are better than you think.
X. Memo To Self
A year and a half is left and you will soon graduate. Dont keep extending your term and
be mature already. I know you are already working hard but we all know it is still not
enough. You know you still lack in some areas that is why you have to exert extra effort
to cope with your weak points.
Do not be disheartened that most of your batchmates are one step ahead of you but
instead, take it as a challenge to pass your limitations and at least be at par with them
or even better surpass them. Try accomplishing it and itll be the most satisfying gift you
could ever give to your past self. You know your old self have a lot of insecurities and
worries so even if little by little, try solving those problems you have and Im sure it will
help you boost your confidence and at the same time improve yourself in many ways.
Lets work hard for the remaining years and after graduation, lets work even harder to
pass the board exams. I do not need and evolution where you have to become a
competent person from A to Z but instead I need progress to make myself better and
more competent that I could have ever be.
XII. Recommendations
I recommend you to wisely choose the company or firm to apply. Remember to not just
stick to conversations or just ride on your friends connections and be diligent enough to
try many entities with credited background. Be aware that this internship program shall
appear in your resume and can be used as an advantage during your application and
interview.
Try applying your internship to big and well-known companies. And if you are a
Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) undergraduate, it is more recommendable to
choose an accounting firm rather than a company. This is for experience sake and will
be very helpful as you work in your profession. The environment of your practicum is
important because in the real world, theories from books will not be that helpful if you do
not know how to apply it in real practice. You have to take a stand for yourself with a
mind full of knowledge and experience. That way you can survive and be successful in
the real world.
XIII. Conclusion
I learned it is very important to be sociable with other people. I must never forget to be
humble and courteous not only to my superiors but also to my co workers. Being
respectful to superiors is already a given while for my co workers, it will help me in
dealing with crucial scenarios when I can no longer solve the problem by myself. With
their help, I can finish it faster rather than thinking of a solution by myself which takes a
lot of time.
I also learned that use every opportunity to learn since this instructions might be helpful
in the future. During my compliance to the required hours, I must be diligent enough to
make the first move in lending help to my co workers. It is better to not hesitate since
time is essential and it would not wait for me to collect myself in complying with my
duties.
Being grateful is also a key to success. Indeed it gave me additional work but it will also
give me a kind of fulfillment and happiness while helping others in a pinch. Always be
kind and approachable to gain respect and trust from others. This way it will gradually
build the foundation of a successful and satisfied professional.
