Merit

I had a crazy and busy week and I'll share to you a part of it.

I was finally able to work as examiner. It was four months ago when I had orientation for this job, but I was not able to pursue due to the so called super hero training. After a session as an observer, I had again performed return demonstration to my superior to asses if I' am ready for the job. Then yesterday, at last I became an examiner. I am very grateful to the students assigned to me by the reason of they are very well mannered. They made my task easier.

First Job
If i will write an autobiography, I would be very confuse on what my first job is. When I was grade school, I engaged into selling product... I could remember that my minimum weekly profit was P30. Anyways, I also experience working for my mother by computing expenses (related to work) . Of course, I can never forget my high school days that I sold my assignments and do projects for other people. My high school teacher won't be proud of that, I know.

Now that I'm off from school and trying to fit in in this world ruled by adults, I guess being an examiner is my first job.

First Pay
Technically, the income that I receive from the said part-time job is called honorarium not salary. Anyhow, I can't explain the difference between the two. ekkkk! All i want to say is, it's an amazing feeling that you receive a reward of something that you work hard for.

Not to take anything away from examiners, this job is way far easier than being a superhero. Being a super hero, I mean working as part of the medical team who save lives. In Philippines, the reality is, examiners are far better financially compensated than superheroes. When you're the latter, you have one of the most important jobs in the world because it's all about handling lives, yet you are unfairly compensated. That my friends, is what i can't really understand.

This is not about money, this is about MERIT.
