MY GOAL MY DREAM MY FUTURE

     Everyone has their own dreams, including me. I think,dream is the most important thing in reaching our goals, and determine our future. Dreams, goals, and future are the three things that have a tight connection. One will always influence another. So, to reach our goals, we have to dream and certainly struggle for them.

     It is not easy to reach our dreams and goals. We will not reach them without struggling, making a sacrifice, fighting and trying. We must never give up on all those things. There are always some obstacles, problems, challenges, and many things will demand us to be patient and going forward.

     I have so many dreams, whether they are small or big. As a student, my dream is to be the best with high grades and getting better and better everyday. I know they're very mainstream but we can't deny that every students will certainly have that dream.

     Honestly, I am still confused and I am still finding my life goal and i don't know how my future would be like. For now, I am just doing my best and try to be a better person everyday. As a child, i want to make my parents happy (that's a mainstream too :D). I mean, I want to make them proud of me and I don't want to make them dissapointed because of me.

     And as a human, and this is my final goal and my bigger dream, i want to get myself close to God, to be a better person in His eyes. Because if i do, everything will be allright to me. I also believe that with His help, i will overcome any obstacles in front of me.

     Although I wouldn't know how my future will be, I can imagine myself in my next stage of life as a more better and successful person, than I ever was. To this day, i still fight with everything I have to achieve my goals, my dreams, and my future.

Missing Video Conference

                 Video conferences are fun, unfortunately. I can’t attend one of those. I was sick, so I just straightly go home early. That day, I was having a fever and feeling dizzy.

                When I go home, my mother asked me why I go home earlier. I told her that I’m sick, then I had lunch and ate medicine. And then, I go to sleep. A couple hours later, I woke up and I was feeling better.

                After that, I took a bath, and did my homeworks. I felt bad that I can’t attend the video conference because we will have a conference about festivals that day. I tought it would be fun because we would dicussed with friends from many countries. But I can’t force myself to attend the conference, because I have to rest. If I forced myself I’m afraid my health could get worse.

                So, I tell this for getting back my scores and honestly, I confused about what to say since I was just sleeping that day. Thank you so much for reading this! ^^

Bakti Desa

                On October 23rd-25th, i and my friends in SMAN 3 Bandung went to Resmitingal Village, Kertasari District, at South Bandung. It was named “Bakti Desa” or in English is “Village Dedication”. Bakti Desa always held every year in my school that have to be join by all students at grade XI. I very excited because Resmitingal Village is located at cold area,  at high plain.

                I and my friends went to Resmitingal Village in the morning, and spend four hours till we arrived there. After the opening agenda and lunch, the teacher told us where we would live for three days later. Every house will be stayed by three or four student, and my housemate is Salsabila Hanin, Yasmin Fatinah and Yola Rahmalia. And by accident, we lived with our class proxy, Mrs. Kun Kurniati.

                We lived at Mr. Amin Sopian and her wife’s house. They are a very humble and kind people, and we had to try speaking sundanese language with them. We arrived at Mr. Amin Sopian’s house in the afternoon. Mr. Amin prepared a special room for us, and actually it is her daughter room’s. But, her daughter has been school at other city, so we occupied her room. Honestly, i want to say thank you to her, but i can’t meet with her.

                In next day, we woke up at 05.00 and toke a bath by turns. After we pray, we helped Mrs. Sopian to made some breakfast. After that we went to Mr. Sopian’s onion garden by foot, it was quite back breaking because the track was slope upward. But, it was fun with the beautiful scenery everywhere! We not just cleaned the garden, but also had our lunch there.

                After that, we went home in the afternoon bacause Mr. Sopian’s have to perfomed his Friday Pray. That was a very fun day, in early evening we did a Bakti Sosial, it was like we gave our some foods or clothes to them (people in the village). Next day, we packed our bag because we have to went home. We said thank you to Mr. Sopian and his family and say goodbye. After closing ceremony, we went home by public transportation. I was a very unforgottable moment ever!

MATSWAPATI

 

Matswapati is a west java culture themed festival in my school,  in particular is sundanese culture. This festival was hold at September 27th 2014 in Lapangan Bali at Bali street near my school. Not only SMAN 3 student that participated in this event, but also another student from some junior high and elementary school in Bandung. The teachers also participated to help.

There were very many guest stars, like the artist and famous singer in Indonesia. Thatmtime i came at 10.00 a.m and the opening ceremony had ended. I saw a lot of chidren wore traditional clothing. And after that, there were a lot of traditional art show for example Calung, Benjang, Degung, Reog and many others. There was a West Java Traditiona Food Festival, yummy! I and my friends bought some food, they were very delicious.

But, beause of in that day i have others schedule, so after the Reog show, i went home and i did not get to watched the following event. But i had sufficient time to see Matwapati’s gallery about Indonesian Artists. I really regret not to participated in the festival untill the end. My friends said that the show was very amazing and fun! But i have some photos that i toke wih my friend at Matswapati.

BULLYING

 

 Bullying can be defined as form of discrimination, supression, opression and many negative activities. I think bullying is a very wrong behavior, because there are very many impact that will be appear to someone who bullied. Bullying can happens in any place, but it very often occur in the school environment. According to my observation, bullying that very often occur in the school environment is a exclusion. Someone who bullied usually is student who weird, loner, or have a hard time to comunication with other student. Or the victims of bullying usually have low-self esteem, its can be a causes of the deficiencies that he/she thus feel inferior and shy away from others.

                And, someone who does the bullying usually have a high convidence, has a power in some things like social status, relationship, and many others. This causes the person to feel superior to other students. Bullying is not only done by one person to another, but can be done by the group to individual. I think, the right thing when we find someone who kept himself/herself, reserved, and have low-self esteem, our job is to help him or her to more confident. Be a friends of that person, so that will make him/her feel welcome and comfortable in our environment.

                We need to stop bullying from now. Because bullying does not have the slightest positive impact. Bullying can lead to hostility. In addition of physical disorders, the more dangerous impact is the mental disorders that woul be experienced by the victim. Victims can fell stress that can further lead to mental disordes. Bullying is also violation of human rights, because every person is entitled to a safe and comfotrable environment, has rights to not be tortured both physically and psychologically. The difference of social status is the main cause of this bullying. By instilling a sense of frindship, love, and help each other we can prevent this bullying. Stop Bullying! Make a piece!

Inspiring Person

MY INSPIRING PERSON

            Hello, my name is Ririn and now i will tell you about someone who inspired me to write more and more because she is a writer. Her name is Dewi Lestari Simagunsong. Her nick name is Dee Lestari. She is a poem and prose-writer, songwriter and singer. Dee was born in Bandung, West Java on 20 January 1976; she was the fourth of five children born to a religius Christian family. After graduating high school, she attended Parahyangan Catholic University and graduated wiyh a degree in International Relations.

 

She wrote a lot of books, and i have read almost of all her books and i think none of them is not exceptional. Almost of all her books is a novel or poem-prose anthology. Honestly, i like read many kind of book genres, but i very like poem anthology. And i think her poem is very nudge with her beautiful combination words.

Her words can make anyone who read feel the emotions that she want to be sent in her book which on average is about the love story, she conveyed her message in a different way. She always put scintific things, with the genius and beautiful language, but not excessive.

In 2001, Dee released her first novel, titled Kesatria, Putri dan Bintang Jatuh (The Knight, Princess, and the Falling Stars), it is also firstbook in Supernova series, she continued with Akar (Roots); Petir (Thunder) and Partikel (Particle). That books was very amazing, they are about love story, urban life, science, religy, and many things.

Complicated, but quite briliant. I loved the touch of poem in her novels. The poem make us to think about what is the meaning of the content, becase Dee can take any themes and imagery to convey. I really like poem, i love to read poem, and sometimes i make a poem. And Dee’s poem is inspired me a lot.
