When I was in my first year in college, I don’t know that there will be a subject like FTS (Field Trip and Seminars). I don’t even care about it since I don’t usually touch or even glance at my prospectus in that time. I just notice this subject when one of my friends which is ahead of us, attend that subject. When the first time I heard the news from her, I got excited for her and also from myself thinking that I could experience that someday. As what I had heard from the ahead students, I knew that they will go to the other places not only in the local areas but also in the national areas like in Manila. I heard too that it’s possible also to go to the other country depending on what kind of model that the class will choose or approve to. Some of my classmate converse about the model thing and it made me excited. I want to go to other places and experience a long trip like what I also heard.
In this semester, I enrolled this subject with an excitement. I have many plans to the point that I think of it every night before I sleep, that’s how I’m excited about it. I even plan to choose what I wear, what I will do when I got there, and what will I buy for my family and friends as a “Pasalubong” for them. I don’t even know in that time that there are many activities that I will encounter soon before going to the other places. Since I’m very excited and I plan it already, I choose the Model A when our class president give us a sheet of paper indicating what model would you like to have. Actually there three models that we can choose from that includes Model A, B and C. Each of this model has own descriptions on what activities and what places we will able to visit. If I will compare these three models, Model C is the cheaper one compare to the two models which is A and B. As what I remembered, Model A includes an interpersonal skills activities for hours I guess, one minor field trip within the Mindanao, one seminar and one major field trip outside the Mindanao which is in Manila. Model B also includes interpersonal skills, same with the first model but differs only in the numbers of minor field trips and hours in seminars. The last model has also interpersonal skills but doesn't have major field trip outside in Mindanao. In choosing the model, the president told us that our parents must decide on what model we want to go since our parents were the one to pay our payments. I’m totally aware that each model has different cost but it doesn't stop me to choose the first model even if I know that the last model is cheaper. I made a talk with my parents and use my power to make them YES. I know that it will be expensive since one of the destinations in this model is held in Manila and ten thousand is not enough to stay there within five days. I admit that I’m selfish to not consider that there will be any possibilities that there will be any instances that my parents will have difficulties to find money for my FTS but I really want to take this opportunity to explore and see what’s with that place and why it was called as a prosperous city.
As I said a while ago, I choose the first model and it is because of my curiosity. I want to see how Manila looks like even other people already told me that it’s more horrible than Davao if you will talk about traffic. I don’t care with that comment since Manila is known as the city where great opportunities are there. Therefore, there are many people living there that make the city as one of the worse city in terms of road controls. I also want to see the IT companies in Manila. I know that I can find IT companies here in Davao but I want to know the difference between these two places and to the fact that there are more companies there, I want to explore it too with my own feet and with my own sight. One of my reasons also in choosing the model A is to earn experiences. If I will fortunately have the money on time to pay the expenses and will be able to go there, it’s my first time to go in too far places. For my nineteen years of existence, the place which is far from my home that I had been was the Digos City. It was just four hours from our home if I will ride a bus to go there but still I was happy that I've been there. I was able to go there through some contest and I was so happy when I went that far even though I didn't get any awards. I love to travel even though riding a bus makes me dizzy and at the end of the trip, I end up in vomiting. I want also to experience to attend a big event like Y4IT event. There are many students will attend that event and I want to be one of those. It’s a great pleasure to attend that kind event where I expect that I will learn something as I will witness this huge upcoming event. I want also to celebrate my birthday with that place since one of the days we will stay in Manila will be on my birthday. In the first meeting, going to Enchanted Kingdom was mentioned and I want it so bad. I want to experience all the rides in EK. I want to experience a little pleasure in going to that place even though this trip is not a pleasure trip. To cut it short, I choose the first model to have different kind of experience. There are many things that I will do for the first time if I will go to Manila that’s why I will take this chance. I just hope that there will be blessings in the sky and it will let me to experience that i want to.
