On our subject, Hospice Accommodation, our teacher was telling us about our final project which is conducting a seminar. We are tasked on Housekeeping Department. At first, I thought it was just a piece of cake, but I was wrong, it was the total opposite. It was really difficult to organize a seminar. Most especially if you are a first timer of doing such things. To make it easier, we divided the tasks to our group mates; I was assigned of doing the paper works such as the certificates, program, encoding the letters and a lot more.
It was really stressful particularly on finding a speaker. Four hotels rejected our request and the day that was assigned to us to have our seminar was fast approaching.
We quite felt hopeless, but our dedication makes us more determined to find a guest speaker. After lots of unwelcoming approach to the past hotels, God is so good because he took us to Crown Hotel and has Mr.
Thom Richard Dy as our guest speaker. I thought it will run smoothly since we have already our speaker, but it wasn’t stop there, because we find it hard in terms of approving our certificates to our dean and our chairperson. It took us days after it has been approved by them. There are lots of requirements to be submitted and we are grateful that we accomplished all of that successfully.
During our seminar, Mr. Dy gave us very knowledgeable information about housekeeping and other educational ideas about our industry that we in that could really help us for future purposes. Mr. Dy was not just a successful professional but a kind hearted person as well, because he let us have his time aside from his busy schedule. He was really approachable to us students and was able to answer all the questions that have been asked with all his will. We are also thankful to our teacher because she was so considerate to our group and let us moved the date that gives us time to find our speaker. I was also gratified to my group mates for the reason that they were so cooperative and determined to finish every tasks that were assigned to each other. After all the hardships that we just encounter in organizing this seminar, it was all worth it and comes out fruitfully.
