Reflection: Summary of Learning Experience

During my stay in RT&Co, I had a lot of experiences of doing the tasks related to
typical office work, which is actually no different from what my superiors, also relatively fresh
CPA board exam passers. Seeing this, I have a very clear picture on what jobs await me
when I actually get the opportunity to step into their shoes. Armed with this knowledge, I’m
glad I was able to experience and do these tasks as early as now so I could do these exact
same jobs with relative increased efficiency.

My learning was of course not limited to the confines of the cramped office, outside
its walls, there are plenty of learning opportunities for me as well. I learned a lot about the
layout of the surrounding area, and also how to find things that I needed such as food at the
lowest cost. I developed skills in dealing with people outside, and gained a heightened
sense of perception which will no doubt aid me greatly in my time as an employee. And
finally, I get to experience the rigors of the daily commute from Laguna to Makati which
admittedly put my endurance to its limits. I learned the feel of it and eventually learn how to
effectively deal with it. While it’s not sustainable in the long run, I feel that it would suffice
until I get the means to secure more accessible housing opportunities.

Thanks to this, I was able to get a feel of how my future looks like and I can avoid a
plethora of nasty surprises and problems I may encounter when I can land a job in Makati.
And so, all in all, this internship program was a good one, and can even be considered a
success for me.
