You may think of the following stories below that it’s too exaggerated or what, but believe me or not, I think I was meant to be in the track I’m currently in.

When I was Grade 7, we had a career path program where students must choose their desired track and dress an outfit or attire according to what they have chosen.
I was really not certain with the career I will take in the future or should I say, the track I’m going to pick for Senior High school. So what I did, I just picked what was on my dresser and found the skirt and long sleeves just like the above photo. I asked my cousin what track fits on my attire, she suddenly said that I can be an accountant for that day since I have no outfit for stewardess which I kinda desired aside from being a teacher. I honestly didn’t have any idea about accountancy.
When I was Grade 8, I have a cousin who often asked me favor to help her with her assignments and projects. She was in college but she, a little bit, lack confidence when it comes to English grammar and even in mathematics. I used to help her by correcting her grammar in her written works or by simply helping her to construct a sensible sentence.
One day, she asked me for help about accountancy. I have no choice but to help her even though I completely had no idea about it. She introduced me first with Debit and Credit and I was confused while she was explaining its difference.
I could remember things she said such as “TRANSACTION”, “MONEY” and “DEBT” , all that. I love money so I enjoyed cooperating with her, creating different Account titles in which I had no idea of what they mean, according to the problem given. I didn’t left my chair for almost 3 hours because of enjoyment. In that day, I started to love accountancy without so much knowledge. Anyway, I really took CHS or ICT in Grade 8 since my recent school in province doesn’t offer ABM track/specialization.
When I turned Grade 9, I took cookery or Food and Beverages which I also love(food). That time, we already moved in Pasay North. At first, I enjoyed that track but suddenly thought that it really was not for me.
I don’t know why. I just found out that I had no certain path to take when I turn to Senior High or college. One of my teachers questioned about the specific track we are sure to take. All I could always tell was I’m not yet sure about my decision.
I and my mother were sometimes talking about my future. She told me that I can be a stewardess but I have to take care of my physical body since it’s what matters most in that job. I was excited when she told me that I could earn a lot in it. Remember, I really love money but not spending them. I couldn’t see myself as an stewardess that time so I know to myself that I have to know for myself what I want to be in the future.
Grade 10 came and I, again, took Cookery. PCNHS just offered Electricity, Dressmaking, Welding, etc. aside from what I took. In the first 10 days, we just had lessons in cookery about different types of food we were going to make. Though I love food much, I wasn’t fond of baking or making meals(just love eating.lol).
Suddenly the Senior High Department head informed us that the school already had an ABM track so he asked who were going to move in that track. I yelled in surprise because finally, I was reminded of the track I desired the most.
That was when I decided to be in Accountancy Business Management Track. Currently, I’m still in it and I badly hope that this will be my future job as well.
