I’ve appreciated him in my heart because he rescues me in a difficult situation. Then I took a breath tried to make my self relax.

Once the meeting finished half of the team went to their desks, and half of them went to the server room to work on the issue, the guy which he saves me in the situation told me that “please come with us to the server room.” In the distance of the way to the server room, I felt depression because I couldnt answer my manager also, I thought I forget all materials which studied during my four years university. Later in the server room the guy came to me and introduced himself with a handshake and said: “this is your first day no need to be nervous, only look at us how we are trying to fix the issue.” the way he talked to me made me feel comfortable and get a sense of friendly environment.

At the end of that day, I said to the team goodbye and went home. My dad was home when arrived; he asked me how was your first day at the first job at the time I remembered the moment when the manager asked me regarding the issue, the same feeling came back to me with annoying feeling, my dad told me I could see your day wasn’t good enough. I said to dad about the situation then he loudly laughed at me and I surprised for his reaction.

Later dad said “Son you just finished your degree this is doesn’t mean you are an engineer now. You are very new graduation from the university don’t think you know everything in your field and take it easy. You have a long life and should get experience to become an engineer.” then I realized that what he means, then I felt more comfortable and understand that I have to get experience to reach a good level in my field.

In conclusion, the first job is always something different from the study, and I have faced trouble in my first job because of lack of experience however I get help from the one of the team. Besides, I’ve learned a good lesson from my dad which changed my thinking about work. Therefore, I will think positively in all situation during work even I don’t know something, but I can learn through experience.
