Elementary Days
Life at San Diego Parochial School was too long and somehow significant in my
development as an individual. There I bagged home my first medal, my
preschool salutatory award. There I discovered my interest in Math and the
natural sciences. There I was able to perform a folk dance on stage.
I had been a choir member for three years, from Grade 4 to 6. I
participated in the church's fund raising concert-my first chance to perform in
front of hundreds of people. There I discovered my love for computers.
High School Years
In secondary level, I got my three-year valedictory award before my slot was
stolen at my fourth year. There I was shaped to be how I was before I
enter college. There I was introduced to many friends. I even run
and won twice in the student body, in 2nd year as a legislative representative
and in 4th year as an auditor. I even represented our school in the TV
quiz show Battle of the Brains.
College
In college I took Mathematics, a course I never dreamed of taking! But to my surprise, it exposed me to the inner beauty of my fondest subject. Mathematics is not just about numbers. Numbers are just the icing in the cake. More interesting was the field no longer associated with numerals!
Masterals
After graduating from BS Mathematics, I immediately applied for the Graduate program in Computer Science. Good thing, the current chairman of the department is a BS-MS-PhD Math degree holder. So somehow, he knows how does it feel to be a Math student.
Now that I'm in Accenture, I'll still try if I can make it to take the masters and work full time at the same time. Let us see how long it will take me to get my master's degree.
Accenture development University
Accenture gave us a six-week training in COBOL programming and mainframe exercises. The training was called the Accenture Development University (ADU). In the ADU, aside from having the computer stuffs, we are all filled with enriching activities, team-building events and a lot of snacks.
