Immersion

Experiencing an adult work is exciting and exhausting. Immersion programme is a form of experiential development education which sees students from the so-called developed world ‘immersed’ in the culture and day-to-day life of their peers in the developing world (google). Immersion is also a way to introduce the environment of your dream job. It gives you the hardship you will work for and the happiness you can gain from it.

My own experience of this immersion is really one of the best. As you all know that my strand is Humanities and Social Science, and my sub-strand is Social Science thats why I was assign to the Court’s Judge Office in Hall of Justice here on our city. I was so nervous at first because I am going to work not just for an attorney but to the Judge! I am so scared to do something that might go wrong or to say something that is not right. But then Judge Fe was so very kind and good as well as her staff because they treat me properly and they made me comfortable sitting at the office.

My job there is to arranged some criminal cases and paste the decisions on a record book. When I still have time, I love to look around the office and read some cases. During break time, the staffs would offer us some foods to eat or buy something and put it on our desk. When I try something new, I always have some realization with it. This week I realized that I love office work and I love working with papers than what my mom trying to push me with being a teacher.

Therefore, Immersion can help a students a lot especially on deciding with which field they want to work to and which course they want to take. As for me, I want something that can make me happy and be contented. I know what it is by now and I want to achieve it.
