I never thought I will have big responsibilities in electronics, until this happened.
It started when our teacher in electronics assign Chuck to buy materials for our project. When Chuck didn’t buy those materials, saying that he doesn’t know where he can buy those things, my teacher asked to the whole class “Who among you live in Pasay? There are lots of hardware stores located in Pasay.” I didn’t respond, even though I live there. Suddenly, Chuck said my name and told them that I live in Pasay. Sir asked me if I could buy those materials. I told him that I will try, even though I’m not sure, because it’s our whole day. And I’m afraid that the hard ware is already close by the time I arrive there. But deep inside me, the answer is no, because I know that my mom will scold me and wont lend me money for that project because last year, I’m the only one who pay all expenses in my group.
Just what I expected, when I arrived at the hard ware store, it’s already closed. And my mom scolded me when I tell her what happened. The next morning, I told my classmates what happened, and the reason why I haven’t bought it. Some of them looked at me with an angry face, and told me that our teacher will get mad to us because of me. I said to them “How could I buy things without any money? Hmm? My mom won’t even let me borrow some money to her”. So, they collected moneys and gave it to me. They are expecting to see the materials next morning.
I have training in webpage designing that day, and my trainer is Mrs. Laspiňas. When she dismissed me that day, it’s already 7:00 pm. And the hard ware is already close at 7:00. So, I asked my mom to buy those materials for me and I asked her if she could deliver it to the school at 10:30 am. Once again, my moms blame me with angry words, but she does what I asked anyway.
When my mom bought the materials, I was very happy and thanked my mom. I hurriedly went to our classroom and put the materials inside a box.
At our electronics subject, my teacher saw the materials and told me that it is the wrong type of connectors. He asked me if I could refund it. The other day, I asked m mom to refund it. My mom refunds it in the hard ware, and gave me the right kind of connectors.
I was very busy training that day, because tomorrow is the contest. I was excused in class, and by the time of electronics, I get the materials inside m bag, and went to our room. I didn’t saw them. When I passed the AVR, I saw them watching some films. So I returned to the computer room, and put the materials on the floor.
It was 6:40 pm when I leaved the school. I slept late because my siblings are too noisy. The next morning, it’s the day of the contest. When I woke up, I fixed my things and went to school. We went to AMA for the contest. When the contest is finally over, I went home and rest.
Monday, the most misfortune happened to me than my lost in the contest. I realized that I forgot the materials inside the computer room. When I asked Ms. Mestica if she seen a plastic containing electronics material, she told me that she didn’t found it. So, I said to my teacher that I lost the materials. And this is my most hated part. Every one of my classmates thinks that I should not be trust anymore. I was very angry that time. They are the one who want me to buy those things, and not me!
I decided to use my own money to buy the lost materials. Once again, my mom was very angry with me, but this time it’s triple.
I bought the material again and continued on our unfinished work. Suddenly, my teacher asked “Who owns this?” I saw the receipt of, and I know that thing is the missing materials. I think that time, I was almost crying of what happened.
The next meeting, our teacher looks for wires. And one of my classmate said that I have them (which I don’t). I told them that the only thing I bought are the number one priority materials. Then again, my classmates blame it to me. I was very angry with them! They don’t even have the money for me to buy it!
That day, I promised to myself that I will always say no to big responsibilities.
