Graduating amid COVID-19 has caused a big turn on my career path. The pandemic crashed the aviation industry, and pursuing my passion for becoming an aircraft mechanic was hard.
I was exposed to different sectors to be productive while waiting for restrictions to be lifted. I even got a hospitality job where I had customer service experience. It was this random night at my workplace wherein I was scrolling through my phone and saw their job posting and decided to apply, hoping to get an email invite. Despite my insecurities, I pushed through and showed the best I could present myself. Since being accepted, I promised never to give up until fate told me to stop.
From what happened, I realized that you will only know what will happen once you try. I believe the Almighty God has a plan for you. Keep pushing! And hopefully, soon, more of us will be painting the skies yellow.
