 GOALS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

A goal without a plan is just a wish, In order to commit those goals you should plan for a strategy on how you
will succeed. In my 360 hours of practicum in Bisahan Law Office the goals that being accomplish are the
following. First, I learn a lot of works like printing documents, separating the papers by its following expenses;
notarize papers like special power of attorney, punong barangay certificate, affidavit of loss, secretary

new friends not just in my work place but also to the other offices like D Asian Hills Bank, Polar Hills, Hills
Finance, Mediatrix, and some of the clients from other places. Fourth, is to be effective trainee student and to
finish my practicum successfully.

The strategy on achieving those goals is to show interest and to use the SMART goal method. Show interest
means to learn and to understand like when my staff always given me a task they give me instruction and
guidelines on how to do it. All you need to do is to listen, understand and learn from it so you can avoid mistake
on your work. You should show interest to your work even when it is difficult or hard all you need to do is to
give more effort and interest on doing it.

Last goal is the SMART goal method. Its stand for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound.
Specific is common just like showing interest to the work. Second is measurable , It needs to have parameters in
order to know if the goal was achieved like in my task I always measure it and I will reduced my hobbies on
being tiredness person because I dont want my work to be affected and I dont want to have mistaken on my
work. Third is attainable, you must be realistic goal that challenge you like when I always do my work with
confidence and also when I feel giving up because its hard to me to do but I tried it just a challenge on me and I
know I can reach my goal by continuing until Im done. Fourth is relevant the goals must have direction, you
should focus to your work, and every time I work I always focus myself to work so that I can avoid a mistake.
Lastly time bound the goal should have deadline, you should do your best on doing your work responsibly in
order when you done your practicum you can have a good grades and a good output to the workplace and aside
from that you have many learnings encountered.
 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Duties are something that you must do because it is morally right or because the law requires it while
responsibility is a duty or task that you are required or expected to do. For my 360 hours of practicum in
Bisahan Law Office it was really challenge me a lot because I encountered many responsibilities and duties that
were given by the staff and lawyers. This duties and responsibilities that we lean in every week of duty are as
fallow. First, dealing with clients and boss in a workplace by showing a good performance and characteristic
like having initiative, always think positive, respect, should always energetic, and to be patient and
understandable.

Second is to communicate through telephone, always greeting a good morning, afternoon and evening before

must take it because I know it is for my own good.
 CHALLENGES

According to Brendon Burchard challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives but for me
challenge is experience because it will make you realize and understand things. The 360 hours of practicum in
Bisahan Law Office is really challenging. The first challenge I encountered dealing with people in a work place.
When I was young its hard for me to deal with people because I have the attitude of being shy and a quite
person until know it exist but since I am old enough I change myself by confident in terms of facing people
because I know it is for my own good.

Second challenge is to avoid mistake of work. It is our first duty of practicum when I commit mistake because
the legal document I notarized it wrong, the name and date that I stamp is not clear or correct also writing
notarial book registration. I conclude that in order to avoid those mistake when the staff will give me this kind
of work again I will notice and read it first, followed by stamp the document or writing the notarial book
registration then before I will pass this I will see to it that it is correct or I will review it again so that on passing
it there is no mistake happen. However I was lucky because our staff always given me guide dance and
instruction how to do it, all I have to do is to listen carefully, understand and asked question if you are not sure
on doing it.

Third is going to other offices not familiar. Sometimes when our staff given me a task to receive billings in D
Asian Hills Bank, Hills Finance, Polar Hills and other offices. They give me instruction first then I do it.
Because you will go to other office you will encounter new people and environment. You should be friendly and
have the initiative to ask question to the people even it is not your family or friends. But before you will asked,
you must greet him/her first good morning maam/sir before you will tell him/her what you want to say. In this
way people will payback answer for what question you will ask. I am thankful because I meet new friends aside
from the office I also meet other offices like some of the ojt from other school, clients in other places, secretary,
and managers.

All the challenge I experience are just obstacle that will lead me to my dreams and goals in life. Through realize
and understand that challenge by taking responsibly and perfectly. No matter how hard it is never give up or
surrender because its just a trial and someday you will face this challenge again and again and you know how
to face it.
 LEARNING EXPERIENCES

The 360 hours of my practicum in Bisahan Law Office is really unforgettable because dealing with staff and
lawyers are easy. Even in my first day of duty its easy for me to communicate and to do my daily task because
they are so friendly and accommodating. Sometimes only few clients came in the office and we dont have work
yet the lawyers and staff shares with us their experience and advice regarding to studies. We also bond together
by taking snacks and dinner to the office or in the hotel (water pool). The treatment we have to each other are
equal and sometimes they me like their sister.

There are some principles of management by Henri Fayol applied for 360 hours of practicum. The first principle
is the division of work wherein the employees are specialized, output can increase because they want to become
skilled and efficient. For me to have a good output to my work I must do good on my work as best as I can, so
when I start my practicum at the start until the end I do my best by doing responsible, giving more efforts like
giving extra time to my work, having the initiative to do the task even the staff didnt give it to me and helping
my coo-ojt to her work. Second principle of management is authority, the manager must have the authority to
give orders, but they must also keep in mind that authority becomes responsibility. And for me the task was
given by lawyers and staff is responsibility. Its my responsibility to work hard and to do well on my daily task
of practicum and I learn a lot of responsibility of work by giving more efforts, energy and following their rules
and instruction.

Third principle is equity, managers should be fair to staff at all times, both maintaining discipline as necessary
and acting with kindness where appropriate. As I said the treatment of the lawyers to her staff and student
trainee are equal, treating each other like sister and brothers but even our boss treat us equal I always respect
them because I know my limitations when it comes to work. Fourth principle of management is order; the
workplace facilities must be clean, tidy and safe for employees. Everything should have its place. but as for me
because our staff assign me and Elaine to hold the key of the office and every day we are the first person
coming in the office we have the responsibility and initiative to clean our office by scrubbing and sweeping the
floor, segregating the garbage and arranging the files to its proper arrangement. In this way to keep the safety of
the clients and to have a good environment.

Last principle of management is esprit de corps; organizations should strive to promote team spirit and unity. In
our workplace we have the team spirit and unity between the lawyers, staff and us trainee student. We help each
other when somebody didnt do his/her work. In order to have a successful work I actively participating and
doing it well. This all principle applied are really important because this will help us commit our future,
someday will have a stable job this principle of management will adapt and applied again.
 CITATIONS AND SOURCES

During my practicum, there is no lessons from the practical experience would been difficult for me to learn
because those lessons that was discuss by my instructors are really exist and applied. And its help me a lot
because it serves as my guidance in every task I do and I know not only for this practicum will be applied but
even in the future when you have your work, this will be came out and applied again.

The worst experience that I will never forget when I saw my staff crying because the client got angry, Frustrated
and blaming her for a little mistake of the document but our staff respect him because he is a priest so even the
priest shouted her she always do her work to fixed the mistake and according to her its small problem no need
to react. She had always an attitude of being a patient, so I was so impressed to her.

Lastly, the best experience that also I will never forget is to observed hearing in the court and bonding with the
staff and lawyers. When we talk about hearing, since I was young I only see hearing in television but when Atty.
Ria Faith N. Bisahan invited me I was so excited because I know this will be real. During the hearing start in
branch 9 at hall of justice I saw many people like lawyers, judge and the accused. Also I observed the lessons
that was discussed by my instructor regarding to the point of order was applied specially the four types of gavel.
When we also talk about bonding, bonding is spending time with the special person you have and as we have
bonding with our staff and lawyers I was so enjoy because they make me feel that they are also my family and
also I am happy because they share to me their experience and advice regarding to studies, it was a memorable
for me.
 CONCLUSION

I can truly say that my 360 hours of time spending internship in Bisahan Law Office was the best vacation I had
during summers days. Not just learning practical skills but I also experience the privilege to meet the gorgeous
and excellent people. Dealing with them in a workplace was easy because they were so accommodating and
friendly. Making the environment and atmosphere in the office more comfortable like home.
