Fourth Grading Reflection

Fourth Grading Reflection

Our high school life journey has about to end so I would like to grab this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to all the teachers and administrators for their sacrifices to make us better and good person. To all the parents who work so hard in their entire life for us to graduate and fulfill our dreams and most importantly this batch, batch 2013-2014 for the long lasting memories and the precious gifts of friendship. 

Four years ago, I still remember my first day in entering in high school. I’m so scared and nervous that day, maybe because I'm not yet familiarized with the new environment and the different types of people I've encounter every day. I’m just a freshmen before that only knew is to play and have some fun but now take a look, I've change for the better because of the knowledge shared by our teachers and also because of the different trials of life that I went through.


High school for me is the most interesting part of my life, where I have my first dance to my first crush during our junior’s ball, where I have to make an alibi to escape my parents if I think they are already over protective to me and if I want to have some fun with my friends and classmates. 

I don’t know what exactly I feel to this graduation because I’m happy and sad at the same time. I am happy because I'll graduate and start the new chapter of my life and I can pursue my dreams, sad because I need to say goodbye to my classmates, teachers, friends in this school and of curse to this school also but no matter happens I will not forget them because they became part of my life but always remember that each end of any chapter of our life there is also a new beginning.

My Dream, My Future

My Dream, My Future

Dreams are one of the reasons why we continue to fight the challenges we face in our lives because dreams serves as our motivations in our lives to face all the trials that will to us.  Everybody has their own dreams, aspiration, or prospects in life that someday they will achieve.

            When I was a kid I was impressed and amazed to the teachers like my aunt that is closed to the kids and to her students because she’s treating her students as her own child, she’s a great mentor to her students inside and outside the class and she is also giving some advises about the other stuff, such as family problems or love life so when I was still in my younger age my dreams in life is to be a successful and distinguish teacher like her someday then I will earn money to travel abroad and do some work there as a teacher and when I fulfill that dreams I can already support my family financially, this is my way to thank them for their sacrifices for me to graduate and have a better future and I will assure that I will give them also a beautiful and luxurious future.

But before that I have to study hard to graduate, listen to my parents, and be patient, brave and strong enough to face all the challenges or problems that will test the boundaries of my capability to overcome my fears.  For now all I want is to graduate and find a job as a teacher for our better future.

Change, It Starts With Me

Change, It Starts With Me

   
         Many changes are happening in our lives because of the challenges that we encounter or come into our lives.  People change when they are hurts, committing mistakes and learning from their mistakes.

            People are changing to bad if they can’t accept the changes in their lives but if they can accept and allow the changes to their lives they will become good examples to the others.  When we change all our negative attitude and bad doings we can be a good leader and role model to our own country.  But before that the change will starts us, we need to be a good follower to be a good leader and role model. First we need to follow and obey all the rules of our leaders in our country.  This country faces problems like poverty, crimes, corruptions and crisis because of the greediness and selfishness of people they are not already following the rules of our leaders and those problems may lead our country down so we need to change for the progress and unity of our country.

            If you were able to change yourself so with the whole world can rise when there is unity in the heart and soul of everybody because nothing is impossible when there’s a good leader and unity, together we can save the whole world.
