When
I was still in college programming was that pretty easy. I used to play with
codes. I sleep with it and
Seven
years ago I was ok with my life, I work with computers, servers and dbase and
the talking. But then things do happen for a reason I went home and work for
the government and my life flip horizontally. But even so I learned to adapt it
and little did I know I was growing in my own little way. To make the story
short, I wasn’t exposed with all the computer languages in my whole stint in
this so called government life and this is the story.
I’m
in my modular training in Bicol University for five days now. I came here last
Sunday bringing all the things I needed. My class usually starts at 7:30 and
ended as late as 22:30 in the evening. We are staying in the hotel enough
for four people near the campus and we usually walk going there. My stay in
this university will finally end tomorrow night but we have to submit some of
the proposed revisions online when we get back to our office. It’s the storm
that hinders us and we have to get home before it strikes the ground.
During
our first day we tackle more of the .php language. I was eager to finish the
whole slides so that I can have my program started, excited as that. It took
the instructor two hours more to finish all the slides because not all of us
there are php ninjas! And so we had our program started. Starting off from the
favicons creations like that to the header and the slider side, all in one
setting.
At
first it was easy for me but the slider image took me half day to run and my
head is killing me, I got fever and my throat aches. I can’t run it and I know
the codes wasn’t right. I debug and consume more time and yet nothing happened,
the slider wasn’t moving at all. I was shock; do I need forever to work for it?
I really can’t run it when seven years ago I used to do it and I asked myself
what is wrong with me? Am I this dull? Good thing when I asked my other ninjas
how are they doing they told me that slider is getting in their nerves. And so
we all continue to work and long did I try to run and debug my codes. Long did
I waited to run it perfectly. After four
hours of working it finally work! I was able to run it but the clock says
12:30! I told myself I need to refresh my mind I need someone to talk to. I
call up tita mi and we went out. I told her about my school life and she was
laughing at me the whole night.
Working
on the menus and widgets was that easy. I had my html and php reviews
throughout the entire night and that makes me pretty normal. Then when we get
back to school in the morning the instructor told us that they are checking our
work, since I am already finish I had them check mine and they told me it was
good.
I
work more for the codes and security features of the site. Building website
requires a lot of security codes. Although ASTI will be the one responsible for
the server security, still we have to work more for our page security. But
knowing so makes my life easy!. Later that afternoon we help our classmates who
are not so php ninjas to become a real ninja! Because it’s a group effort and we have
to submit and finish all the requirements so we can all go home for if not we
have to stay. We work hard to finish all the tasks they wanted for us, they are
so strict and they have a compliance board to check. They have our names posted
and once done they are putting check on it. Late at night when all is bone
tired and half dead we all got positive results. We don’t sleep really just to finish it all. It was really tough!
I
have the best classmates in the world. For me they are all beautiful. We used
to help each other and most of them are boys. It’s really a cliché that
computers and IT stuff are meant for boys but I prove that wrong we females too
are entitled to learn those things boys do and we can be best too.
It’s
getting cold here now and raining mad outside. The storm is coming. I wish to
go home but it’s not safe so I have to stay here. I am missing my mom and my
brother for they are constantly calling me when i told them i got sick but staying here with my crazy classmates singing and running down the hall makes it worth staying more.
Truly
it was the test of skills and how far are we going for the codes in this
modular life. My government life wasn’t that serious and all. As I work for the
codes makes me to reminisce all of my college life, missing my friends and the old warzone and all of the mechatronics life, thus realizing it was time for me
to step up a bit but on the second thought I wish to stay more until I find what I am looking for and i think i am growing.
Today I realized that working together makes the life worth living, no matter
how tough, no matter how mad you are to the world just control and add more
patience. It’s not bad to go with the flow.
Having
our task completed at the school board make us all say that’s the power of
cooperation and teamwork and believing in yourself you can and that’s it but
most of all as the adage goes once a programmer is always a programmer. Thank
you so much Bicol University for bringing back the best in me! And oh by the
way, the sick thing has gone and all! i never knew i got sick :) Gudnyt!
