Learn from mistakes

May 06, 2008

I started to send the letters, registration forms and waivers for the faculty immersion of the 40 SWEEP Schools. When Ms. Nova arrived in the office, I updated her about it and I apologized for yesterday’s happening (wrong sent message). She told me we have to talk but we have to work first.

By 11:00 am, Ms. Nova and I went to the conference room. During our conversation, she said that I am doing a good job as an intern and she was shocked when she received that kind of message from me. I found out that my message was really off to her. The message contains a word that is harsh, but its meaning was not what I meant. I explained to her everything about that message. It’s just an expression of mine such as shocks, oh my gosh, yikes, sh*t and that message was supposedly for Elline. I really felt ashamed and sorry. I almost cried to her. She told me that I must learn from my mistake, keep my emotions in myself and respect people especially the supervisors.

She said it will be nothing to her. I just have to learn my lesson. I will really learn from it.
I felt a little relieved when we hugged each other.
