Breaking Free from Traditional Learning: Eugenie’s Path to Success
SHARE THIS:
Struggling with Self-Doubt and Traditional Learning
For years, Eugenie grappled with self-doubt and the rigid structures of traditional education. She never imagined that a different approach to learning could completely reshape her confidence, skills, and career trajectory.
Academically, she always saw herself as an average student. In her younger years, she was more disciplined and studious, but as she grew older, her enthusiasm for learning waned. Her struggles with anxiety and low self-confidence led her to undergo cognitive behavioral therapy for a year. Before therapy, she was overwhelmed by perfectionism, constantly doubting her abilities. However, the process helped her let go of unrealistic expectations and focus on progress rather than perfection. This shift in mindset allowed her to approach both her education and personal growth with renewed confidence.
One of Eugenie’s biggest struggles was staying engaged in a traditional college setting. Students are expected to spend six years in college, but the long semesters—each lasting five to six months—felt exhausting.
“I was having a lot of difficulties. I was struggling with my focus and my attention and each regular semester in the Philippines takes like five to six months. So that’s the regular term for studying and for me it seems like a very long period of time, I’d be doing very well during the first two first one to two months of classes and then one day my attention. My motivation just develops and then I let go of everything from that point on.”
It was frustrating because she knew she had the capability, yet she couldn’t sustain her engagement over extended periods.
She needed a system that would keep her consistently motivated and engaged—one that aligned with her learning style and strengths.
Discovering a Better Way: eduCLaaS
Realizing that traditional education wasn’t working for her, Eugenie began searching for alternative learning models. That’s when she discovered eduCLaaS, a one-year boot camp program that offered a different approach: 12 modules, each lasting just one month. This format was exactly what she needed.
Instead of enduring long, drawn-out semesters, she could fully immerse herself in one subject at a time, knowing that a fresh start awaited her every month. This cycle helped her maintain focus, sustain motivation, and avoid the burnout she previously experienced.
One of Eugenie’s biggest struggles was staying engaged in a traditional college setting. Students are expected to spend six years in college, but the long semesters—each lasting five to six months—felt exhausting.
Beyond the structure, the program also provided practical benefits—no long commutes, reduced expenses, and a level of flexibility that traditional degree programs simply couldn’t offer. For someone like Eugenie—who struggled with attention and motivation—this was a game-changer.
Gaining Real-World Skills and Confidence
Throughout the boot camp, Eugenie gained invaluable skills in digital business that prepared her for real-world applications. While many of these concepts were available online, learning them in a structured environment deepened her understanding and made the knowledge more practical.
The apprenticeship component of eduCLaaS was particularly transformative. It gave her the opportunity to apply her learning in actual business settings, reinforcing her skills and building her confidence. Initially, her knowledge of digital marketing was basic, but each new challenge helped her grow and refine her expertise.
From Student to Professional: A Career Breakthrough
This hands-on experience didn’t just prepare Eugenie for the workforce—it accelerated her career growth. She started as a Marketing Associate, and through continuous learning and practical application, she was recently promoted to Digital Marketing Executive.
This promotion reinforced her belief that with the right learning structure and opportunities, she could continue to grow and succeed. More importantly, it showed her that learning isn’t just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about applying it in meaningful ways.
“I was glad that I was able to have that opportunity because eventually with the apprenticeship and the work that I got from eduCLaaS, I was able to enhance and deepen those skills that I have.”
Looking Ahead: A Future Full of Possibilities
Now, Eugenie feels more prepared than ever for her long-term career. She has a clearer understanding of how the workplace operates and has built valuable connections with professionals from diverse industries. Learning from their experiences has opened her eyes to career opportunities she had never considered before.
With this newfound confidence, knowledge, and hands-on experience, she knows she is ready to take on new challenges and continue advancing in her career.
