 Education for The Better Future

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education is an important things for us. Without education we can’t do anything. We started am education from we were young, so education will give us a big effect in our life.

In Indonesia, there is a program that command everyone to study for 12 years, from elementary school until senior high school. This program aims for forms the young generations to be better. Because, the young generations that will be lead Indonesia in the future. So, if the young generations doesn’t have a good education, Indonesia will be broken.

But, now there are many leaders in our country do a corruption. Corruption is not appropiate to someone who have an eduaction. There leaders certainly have a education in their life, even they have an education until uneirsity that demand many ability. Moreover, there are many Indonesian behavior that not indicate that they have an education.

This situation happen because the education that was not include the character education. So, for the better future we must change the education in our country to the education system that can decrease the bad behavior. Indonesia need a character basic education. Why character basic education? What benefit from this education system?

Character basic education is an education system that will build character of the students. With this education, in the school, students will have a character education instead of ususal lesson. This education can be learned during the usual lesson. For example, in biology lesson we can learn to be grateful to god. In other lesson we also can get the character education. This education also need the parent’s role in the house, because character education in the school is not enough and character education in the house will give a bigger effects.

With this education, we hope we can build the better generations and the better future for Indonesia. But we need everyone role to make the better future come true. :)

Song

Who Says

Hellooo everyody.. now I will tell you about one song. I will tell you about “Who Says” by Selena Gomez and The Scene. I like this song. This song is good, and this song has some messages inside.

“Who Says” performed by Selena Gomez & The Scene. Priscilla Renea wrote the song with Emanuel Kiriakou, who produced the track. The song was released in March 2011, as the lead single from the band’s third album, When The Sun Goes Down (2011). Selena Gomez says, the song made for inspiring the people, especially people those involved in bullying. The song also won many awards in many country.

In a recent interview with E News Selena opened up and revealed what she wanted the message of her song to be saying, “I feel like girls my age tend to question themselves a lot, they tend to try to dress and try to be what they feel other people want to be. Everyone wants to follow the trend and what’s in and what’s cool. At the end of the day when you strip all that down, are you really proud of yourself are you really comfortable in your skin? That’s what the song represents for me.”
Selena also wants to share this message with all of her fans, “I feel like this song I hope can inspire my fans to embrace who they are!”

Here I give you the lyric:

"Who Says"

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey

[Verse 1:]
You made me insecure,
Told me I wasn't good enough.
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough?
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself.
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else.

[Verse 2:]
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It's like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky

Dewa Athena

DEWA ATHENA

Hello everybody, now I will tell you about Dewa Athena. What is Dewa Athena????

On March 10^th my school held an event. This is kind of sport event. This event is Dewa Athena. I didn’t know where this name coming from, certainly, it was kind of abridgment. Dewa Athena is an annual event in my school. This year Dewa Athena held for three days.

In Dewa Athena we would play some fun game. Such as, football, volleyball, dodgeball, basketball, badminton, tug of war, and gobak sodor. Every class should send their member to participate each game.

Oh, in this event, all the student should wear their class jersey. It was just like the identity. Every class had their own jersey, I think my class had the best jersey hahaJ. Our jersey is grey with three stripes on the shoulder, our clas name “SISA” (Sepuluh IPA Sembilan) in front side, and our name with our number in back side.

In the opening of Dewa Athena, every students should have come to Lapbal at 06.30. We held an opening ceremony before this event was start. In this ceremony, some delegation from the student stand in front of the field and hold a torch to burn the wood. My classmate, Pungki was one of the delegation.

After we held the ceremony, we ran around Indonesia. No no no it was not Indonesia our country, it called run around Indonesia because we ran pass the street with the name of Indonesia’s region like Bali Street, Belitung street, Sumatra street, Jawa street, and Kalimantan street. This activity was very fun, we can ran while watching arround. And it was not tiring, because we did it together so, we just felt fun.

After that, we went back to Lapbal and start the games yeayyy. In first day, our class played volleyball, badminton, basketball, and tug of war. I was just see my class from the field side because just some student who played the game for her/him class. My class was played all the game well. Before we matched volleyball, we practiced first. Oh and finally my class could play in next round tomorrow.

In the next day. We played all the games. First, my class played futsal. And then, my class played woman dodgeball. For dogdeball, we played at bangsal. My class played very energic. I was just gave them spirit from the field side. But, in dodgeball we were loseL. After that my class played gobak sodor. Oh ya, I played this game with 9 friends. We played it with our senior. They played the gobak sodor very well. They had many best strategy. So, in this game we were lose too. Next, my class played tug of war. I decided not to play in this game because I think, this game need strong persons and I think my friends were stronger than me. We played with our seniors again. They are choose the big and tall students for this game. From the beginning, we all know we will lose again. And it was true, they defeat us very easy.

The day turned, it was 12 o’clock so me and my friends decided to go to bazaar and bought some food. We ate fried rice at bazaar. We ate the fried rice while talking with random topic. And, suddenly the rain was drop. We remembered that our bag was in the field. So, we went back to lapbal in the rain. We were wet. But, fortunately my friend save our bag from the rain. The rain getting bigger, the games couldn’t continue. So our class couldn’t play some games. Me and my friends decided to stayed in the bangsal because the rain was very heavy. I stayed at bangsal while watching the badminton match. Because the rain, the games were delayed.

After the rain getting smaller, some students left the lapbal and went back to their house. So, the game will held in the next day.

In the third day, I couldn’t attend Dewa Athena. But, my class still played the games. They played it very well, but we couldn’t go to final L. It was very sad, but we were very happy because we could participate this event.

The final of Dewa Athena was held at April 23^th. In this final, there will be Paman Gober too. Paman Gober was also a sport activity in my school, in this event we could go around Bandung by riding bicycle. And in the finish we could plant some plants. But, I was very sad because I couldn’t attend this event too. I was the KPA 3 member and KPA 3 was helding a concert at April 23^th.

I really enjoyed this event. I wish I could participate this event again next year.

Unique Archietecture In The World

 Leaning Tower of Pisa

Hello.. In this post I will tell you about one of unique architecture in the world.
I will tell you about Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Leaning Tower of Pisa located in Pisa, Italy. Pisa tower is a bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa.There has been controversy about the real identity of the architect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonnano Pisano. The height of the tower is 55.86 metres from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m. The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. This means that the top of the tower is displaced horizontally 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from the centre. The tower's tilt began during construction, because the tower stands on soft ground in one side. So the ground can't hold the weight of the tower. But this tilt have some advantage, this tower become a unique building than can make the tourist interested to visit Italy.

My School Holiday

 My Holiday

Hi everybody! Happy New Year! How was your holiday?

In this post, I will tell you about my last holiday :)

My school holiday started from December 24^th 2015. I spent my holiday in my house, because my father have to work. So, I could go to some places in weekend when my father doesn’t work. I spent my holiday in my house but I wasn’t bored, because I did everything that could make me happy :))

First, I went to the zoo with my family. We decided to go to the zoo because my younger sister have not go to the zoo. We just went to the zoo in Bandung, because it was near, so, we don’t have to stuck in traffic jam. I often went to the zoo, but this time I felt better, maybe because I could go there with my family. In the zoo we could see many animals, my younger sister was very interested. We could entered this zoo with Rp25,000.00. The animals in the zoo was complete, but this zoo was a little bit dirty.

The next day, I went to Garut. I went there to see my relative. She was sick and should stay in hospital. We stayed in hospital just for 2 hours. After that, we went arround Garut. We tasted many delicious food. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay in Garut :( because my father have to work in the next day.

Now I will tell you about my new year. I celebrated new year in my grandmother house. Her house was not far from my house. I played some firework with my cousin. And then, we made some barbeques. We made some grilled fish, grilled beef, and grilled corn, mmm my grandmother also made some popcorn with many flavor..yummy:)

I was very sleepy so I decided to went sleep early. But, my cousins still wake up and made more barbeques. I have one funny story in new year. My housekeeper  went to the mosque to attend an event, but my family and I didn’t know if my houskeeper went to the mosque, she didn’t tell anyone.
Some of my family was sleeping  and some was in the backyard to make barbeques so they weren't realize when my housekeeper came home and knocked the door in 10 pm. She tried to open the door but it was locked, so she decided to wait in the neighbor's house. She want to call my mom but, she didn't have the phone number. Then, she asked my mom's phone number to her brother. After that, she called my mom. My mom and I were shocked so my mom went to the down stair and opened the door for my housekeeper. Then, my housekeeper told that she was waited from 10 pm and it was 11.30 pm. She said, before she went to the mosque, she found my mom but she didn't see anyone so she decide to go to mosque because she guessed the event would finish in Isya.

After that, I couldn't sleep. So, I went to the backyard and joined my family. We celebrated new year together yeeeaayy:)

Hmm in the end of my holiday. I spent my holiday in school. I should go to school because, I should attend the angklung exercise and I should make a "mading" for January edition.

Okayy.. that was my holiday. I know it was very boring for some people. But, I was very happy because I can spend my holiday with my family :)))

My School Life

Kastil Bambu 37

Hello everybody!

Now I will tell you about one of my school activity. I will tell you about the first meeting of KPA which called Kastil Bambu 37.

Hmm before that, I will tell you about KPA first.KPA is Keluarga Paduan Angklung. KPA is an angklung extraculicular in my school. After the open recruitment of extraculicular, I joined KPA. I joined KPA because, I need an extraculicular that can make me fun and I think playing angklung is fun.

Kastil Bambu 37 was held in October 24^th 2015 at grade XII classroom. Before the meeting, our senior gave me the invitation for Kastil Bambu 37.

Kastil Bambu 37 was held after the sport class, so I came to this event with my friend, Malva. When we came, our senior was look very happy to welcome us. Before I entered the classroom, I wrote my name in guest book and my senior gave me a name tag.

In the classroom there was many people who attend this event. While waiting until the event is start, we watched some videos of KPA performences in many events and there was so awesome!!

And finally, the meeting is start. Kang Garbha and Teh...(I forgot her name :)) opened the meeting. After that, we should sit in a circle and all of KPA senior introduce them self one by one. There was also some alumnuses who attend this event and they introduce them self too.

After that, two alumnuses told us about performence that will KPA join. While we watching, our seniors gave us many delicious snacks, so we could eat while watching.

Then, we played a game yeeaaaayy! This game showed our teamwork. If the instructure tod us to make five legs, we should make a group with five person and bring our leg close. In the end of the game, we should held our hand together and then we should stand together

After played a game, we move to the classroom beside the classroom before. In there, we would play angklung yeay! Our senior gave me one angklung. I got angklung number 6. And now, we would play cup song – When I’m Gone by Anna Kendrick. Some seniors played this song with cup, and all X grade played this song with angklung. When we played it together, it heard so awesome!

After we played angklung, some seniors stood in front of the class. They brought some envelopes in their hands. Then, they called some names. And they called my name, OMG I was very shocked. I stood in front of the class and fortunately, there was some friends that called too. After that, a senior gave me an envelope. A senior told us to open the envelope together. Inside the envelope there was a paper. I opened the paper and there was a letter. I got A letter.

Then, a senior told us to arrange the letter to be a sentence. I and my friends were confuse. In the first, we guess the sentence is “Keluarga Paduan Angklung 3” but it was wrong. And finally, we knew the sentence was “Selamat Datang KPA 37”. We arranged the sentence and some seniors take some photos of it.

After that, an alumnus stood in front of the class and introduced 2 candidates for KPA chief. There was Teh Bila and Teh Nadin. He said we should choose one of the candidates in the ‘Pemilu’ that would be held later.

Huhh..now this meeting was done. All seniors stand in front of the class and closed the meeting. They said thank you to us. Oh, they also told the meaning of Kastil Bambu 37, honestly in the beginning I was very confused about this name. Kastil Bambu 37 means.. KPA SMAN TILU BAHAGIA MENYAMBUT 37. So, it means all of KPA member, also alumnuses were very happy to welcome us as KPA 37 generation. Then, we came together in the rooftop to take some photos.

That's all about first meeting KPA :)
