           The National Career Assessment Examination or NCAE is a test taken by third year high school students in the Philippines. It helps the students in choosing what course will they take in their college. This is needed to determine the students' strength and weakness in any field.

           The NCAE was also held in our school and I was one of the third year student who took the examination. Different proctors came to guard us and give the test papers. Every student was designated in different rooms according to the category of the surnames. All the students felt different emotions. I felt very tense and nervous. I even told a joke to my classmates that if I will not pass that NCAE, I will not take my college anymore. At 8 a.m. the NCAE had started. The proctor introduced herself and told us the rules and regulations in answering the test. Before I answered, I read the prayer of the student on the NCAE test booklet. When I am done answering all the test, I did not identify if what field do I excel. I am just in the middle of nowhere. I don't know if I'm good in Science, Mathematics, Manipulative skills, Clerical Ability and Entrepreneurial skill. I just think that I am good in choosing the odd man out. Oh no. It is very hard if I don't know what field do I excel. I don't know what course am I going to take.

          The NCAE in our school was very successful. I just hope that I will know if what field do I excel so I will know what course am I going to take.
