The Wrong Path Taken by Noriz Garcia, Incoho Senior Agent

Not so far down memory lane, with a handful of determination and lots of perseverance in my pocket, I was a struggling young applicant perusing classifieds and braving job interviews. Fate or no fate; luck or whatever you may think of it, there was some force that guided me right to the front of Incoho’s doorstep back on that hot November day. Trudging along Dela Rosa St. when the company that I should go to is in Leviste, I was kind of lost. It’s already 11:45 and I’m tired and thirsty. Not familiar with the vicinity, I felt that I didn't have the luxury of time to get to that company. Standing on the intersection of Dela Rosa and Paseo de Roxas, something dawned into me… “Why don’t I check out the company along Paseo first?” It was Incoho. And here I am today, eleven days before my 3rd anniversary, still digesting the recognition given almost a week ago.
A friend said that 2010 has just been a blessed year for me. Indeed. But, I also beg to disagree. All three years of my stay are equally blessed as each other, to varying extent. One will not exist without the other. Each passing time gave me ample time to train and grow. Important skills and experience were inculcated in me by all the different projects that I have been with. On top of that, I have worked with people – colleagues and team leaders who subliminally contributed to moulding me as an individual.
Life can take us to the most unlikely places and situations. If not because of that wrong path I took on that fateful November day, I won’t be here today. As I have said at the party, I am humbled by the recognition, yet it is a challenge to even do better.
