A Letter from a Proud UCCian!


Isang dating (siguro) kaeskwela ang nagpost sa blog na ginawa ko sa WORDPRESS.
He narrated the hardships, discrimination & triumph he experienced in searching
for
a job after graduation as a UCC alumnus. Seen below is his mail. Let's read
it & be amazed.

Note: The mail you are about to read had been edited for
some grammatical errors but still cont
ains the same meaning.



"I am Red, an irregular BS Crim student. I would like to share my success as
a UCCian. I've been working at Manila Ocean Park for almost 2 years now.
Inspite having too many competitors in applying as an In-house Marshal, we still
managed to be one of those 250 successful aspirants applying for the said position
together w/ my classmate Vrian Alegarbes. And I still remember that one of panels who
interviewed us asked me if what school I've attended. I said from the University
of
Caloocan City, and she replied, "Ahm ok, never heared ha", and just laughed
in front of me. I told them that it's not the name that counts, its the knowledge we
learned in our beloved institution.
"Why dont you just try us, to believe us?".

So far, we are 3 UCCians in a 6-man roster of Manila Ocean Park In-house
Marshal and I am playing one of the most vital roles in Security Operations as a CCTV
and Radio Base Operator which is the so called the HEART and SOUL of the entire
operations, while my 2 fellow UCCian's (both of them are my classmates) are
those who do the Daily Security Report (Day/Night Shift)
that is passed on to the TOP official of the Company. Sharing this story is a
motivation and encouragement to my fellow UCCians to be proud and also to raise the
flag of our beloved institution, University of Caloocan City. Hope it will be
posted on our school journal, thanx and god bless."


My Message to RED:


Hi Red,

I hope you don't mind me editing or giving your letter a little touch. I hope your
wish is fulfilled even though this is not the official school journal. Thank you so
much for sharing your story.Good luck to your future endeavors! Make us all proud^^

Yours sincerely,

Mai Nipin

The Latest "The new Crossroads" NewsMag[?]


You know, I've been visiting The Crossroads office in Camarin to claim my copy but to no avail until last week. With the help of Kriz Dianela at last I was able to claim my copy of 'The Crossroads' newsmag.


















I just had this last week although this is for June-August 2010 Issue!
kakaloka no?

MY COMMENTS:

I haven't read everything so my comments will be limited to the pages and the obvious grammar lapses in some articles. First thing I noticed when I got hold of the copy was that it became thinner. Before there were 20 pages, then the next issue it became 16 then the latest issue only has 12 pages. So are we going to have an 8-paged news mag next?

So guys if you're ever curious about the contents of each article try your luck. Go visit the 'The Crossroads" office both in Main and Camarin campuses.See it for yourself.
