Reflection Regarding To The Second Semester Outreach Program in NSTP CWTS
NSTP-CWTS
BSBA MM 1-2D Second Semester
To give a background information about the event, Our outreach was held at Barangay
630, District 6, Sta. Mesa, Manila on March 10, 2019. It was 11am when I came to the venue
knowing that there was another outreach that will be held before ours, thus our outreach was
moved to 1 to 5 in the afternoon.
During the preparations we were really eager to create a budget for this event because we
knew that this will probably be the last time that we can do things like this as a section because
NSTP is only for freshmen. Our class was divided into departments where we can do things to
contribute for the event, I was assigned to the SS department and our job was mainly focused on
room to room solicitation and crowd control in the event itself. When we were still preparing, the
SS group was really relaxed and it seems like we did nothing compared to the other departments
where you can really feel the presence of "busyness" in them. Little did I know we were the one
who will really move and get tired during the event. Our first job is the RTR where we roam
around the campus to solicit. At the first day our group already gathered over two thousand
pesos, I was really happy that time because I really like doing that kind of stuff where I can
express myself through music because during the RTR we performed in the front of the class as a
compensation for the solicitation. At the following days I just sang with them which is actually I
enjoyed less, I just told myself that this is not for fun and this is for the outreach program. Our
next job was the crowd control, our job is to control the children from misbehaving and to
arrange them according to the event, It was really tiring but it was all worth it although I really
don't want to recall again that experience because I got anxious after the program and that caused
me to isolate myself from others.
The outreach has a really big impact to me, I realized that sharing is caring and I once
again experienced the weird happiness and satisfaction you get when you give something to
someone while you see their face full of joy. Seeing their faces revives me from exhaustion and
gives me a new meaning to life. A meaning where I can treasure all the good deeds I did in my
life so one day I can reminiscent them cherished moments before I leave this world, being
contented the things that I have done in my whole life. The kids also helped me realized that
happiness is a choice, and you should not make your standard of it higher because it will be bad
for you. Seeing a kid being happy just because of a single string bag that is worth a little is a
sight that can be rarely seen, especially in my environment where kids so young are already
spoiled, having different kinds of gadgets and belongings. This also made me realize that I
should really study harder because if not my future family will be the same and I don't want that,
I don’t want them to experience hell and scarcity of food just because of my recklessness. I know
that I'm good and smart, I just need to put on effort to the things I do starting today. I thank my
professor Ma'am Aizel Salvacion for the experience and the lessons she gave me in my first year
of college, We love you ma'am and always take care.
