A Reflection Paper on Panagtapok Online: Alumni Meeting Beyond Boundaries
During the Panagtapok Online: Alumni Meeting Beyond Boundaries, the
phrase “bloom where you are planted” spoke to me the most. Dean Gevera quoted this phrase from an article which means to make the most out of the circumstances you’re in. She further said that being in the field of Accountancy is not by chance, but for a purpose. When I enrolled in UM, I choose Accountancy without any particular reason. This always bothers me because I’m unsure if this field is really for me. I am third year now, still my purpose why I am here eludes me. I was comforted when Dean said that our mission is to find that purpose by listening to the prompt of the Holy Spirit. I always have faith in God and I always believed in His promise that was written in Jeremiah 29:11. I know that He has plans for me, plans that will make me prosper. While listening further on, I was amazed how humble the resource speakers were despite their achievements. I realized that their humble beginnings and life experiences made them that. One thing that I learned from them is to persevere. They also faced hardships during their stay in the university. Despite all that, they did not give up. One resource speaker said that it is okay to cry, but it doesn’t stop there. Listening to their struggles before, I became grateful to God because I have it easier. I am a full-time student because my family provided me for everything. They did not pressure me to do anything. Sometimes, I am ashamed of myself for being complacent in my studies. All in all, I am very thankful for the timely online meeting the CAE Department conducted. I was comforted and encouraged to continue in this endeavor. I am inspired knowing that despite the pandemic accountants remain in demand all over the world. I am happy to know that UM alumni are competitive and well-rounded individuals. From now on, I will aspire to be like them.
