BE YOURSELF IS THE KEY

        It happened four years ago. That was my first day on senior high school. My friend and I were a new student on my class. Her name is Yuli. We come from Bataknese. Actually, I moved from Samosir Island and She moved from Jakarta. At that time, I did not know how to speak on Javanese language. Even, my Indonesian language is not as good as my friends because I usually speak on Bataknese. I was an unactive students at that time. I just like a stupid student. That's made me really hate that school because I did not have friend. My friend and I have the same experiences at the first day.

      My new friends always mocked and laugh at me when I tried to speak Javanese. But, I tried not to take it serious when they mocked me. I had a bad experiences on my first day on school. I thought that every students were very arrogant. Every day, I just spend my time with my friend Yuli. We tried to learn Javanese language. Finally, we could speak Javanese but our accent was fun. That made our classmates laugh louder. 

       Accidently, I thought that they become a little racist. At first, that made me angry. But, slowly I think that I have to learn more. Sometimes they called me without my name. But, they call me " Hey, Batak." I thought that they were so racist. On my first grade on my senior high school, I got a worse score because the lesson that we learned on Sumatra was different with the lesson in here.

       "do you want to go back to Sumatra?" asked my friend. Actually, I won't go back to Sumatra just because they laugh at me. I'll show them that I can do the best. So that, they won't laughed me again.

        " everything is good there?" asked my mom. 

        " yes mom, I got a lot of friend in here." I lied to my mom because I did not want to make her worried about me.

"kon wes mari ngerjakno tugas ta?"asked my friend, Michael.

"uwes kok. opoo emang e?" I answered him. 

Suddenly, all of the student laugh at me because my accent was fun. I wanted to cry and want to go back to my house.But I tried to be strong. 

At the second grade, I can show them that I am not a stupid student. I also can speak Javanese as good as my friends. I tried to study hard and as a result, I got the second grade of the best student on class. After that, I got a lot of friends. I also being one of the dancer on my school.

Since that day,  my friends never mocked me and never laugh at me. Be yourself is the key. Do not get down when every people mocked you. But, show them that you can do the best and you are better than them. 

Thank you.

         

    

Goodbye Writing I

Hello guys, I am going to tell you that this is my last writing class. Big thanks to Mr. Taloko and my writing classmates. But, I'm sorry to say for Mr. Taloko, because I always come late on his Writing class. I've got a lot of experiences and knowledge on my writing class. I learned about how to write Narrative text and also learned about how to make a postcard. I thought that the difficult one on this writing class is how to write a narrative text. Wrote a description about our fashion style was my favorite one. 

May,13-2016 was our last meeting on writing class. That was also our last day on second semester. Next Monday, I am going to face the final test on Writing 1. I hope that I can do my best. Because I did not get a good score on my midterm test. So, I'll try my best for this final test and I'll prepare myself more than before.

So, goodbye Writing 1 and welcome Writing 2. I'll miss all of my experiences on this semester and on this Writing class. Thanks Guys, don't forget to leave your comment.

Journal Entry

Writing class is the one of my favorite lesson. March 11, 2016 was my last writing class before the midterm test. On the writing class we learnt about funny stories, hobbies, interests, etc. We also learnt about gerunds, spelling, how to use a and and. Our lecturer whose name Mr. Taloko also taught us about how to combining words with and and or.This is really useful for us because we can improve our writing skills.

My favorite unit is unit 5. Because in this unit we discussed about how to describe well. I really enjoyed this lesson. On this meeting, Mr. Taloko also asked us to described our friend who sit in front of us. That was really fun.

Another reason why I like this lesson because in this lesson we have to write our assigment in blog. This is my first time to write in blog. I do not have blog before even I do not know the function of blog. And then, I also like the lecturer because I think that he can teach us well. But sometimes I do not like with my classmates because they can not be quiet.

So, that is about my journal. I hope you can enjoy and do not forget to leave comment.

My Beloved Turtle..

Turtle is a very cute pet. Turtle is more cute than another animals. That is why I make turtle as my pet. I just have one turtles in my home.It is still 2 years old. My turtle is a female and I call her Splendid.
At first I do not want to maintain that turtle because I taught that it was more difficult to treat a turtle than another animals such as dog, birds, etc.



But I was wrong to said that because I really loved her. Even if I have some problems I  tell her.
Splendid is the first pet that I ever have. She has a small body and cute feet. She has a small tortoise shell and a short tail. She is also a shy pet because if you touch her head he will hide her head into her shell.

I do not want her to grow up early because it will be more cute if she still be a small turtle.
Okay guys...that is a little story about my pet. I hope you also like turtle.
Do not forget to comment guys.

It happened when I was 17 years old. That is when my first holiday in Surabaya. My grandfather wanted to taught me how to swim well. That made me happy because at that time I really wanted to know how to swim. So, My family and I went to swimming pool.

Before we leaved home, we served all of the materials such as swimming suit, swimming goggles, etc. and you know that I am so exited because that was my first time went to the swimming pool. In Sumatra I never went to swimming pool. And then, after served what we needed, we already went to there.

I am so nerves but I did not know what make me nerves. I thought that that is a stupid thing. Maybe because that is my first time went to swimming pool. I really feel exited like I want to meet a celebrity. And then, after we arrived, I jumped out from the car. But, when I jumped out, my short fell down. I forgot that I wore a baggy short. I am so shy because everybody who sit at there automatically  laughed at me. I do not know what should I do. Everybody laughed at me, but their laughed made me cried. My family also laughed me. In the end, that's accident made me laughed too. I can't remember how everybody expression when they saw me. 

Well, this is my funny story. I hope that my story will make you laugh too. But guys, I want to say something for you. Before you go to swimming pool or anywhere, just check what you are going to wear. Do not make everybody laugh at you in the public place.

 Okay guys, do not forget to give comment or opinion for my story ^-^ ^-^ . Thank you.

NETIQUETTE

Hi..I have read about the netiquette. Netiquette is network etiquette.We know that in this era, many people use technology to do their jobs. Even, we get more information from the internet, such as send e-mails, post our photos, etc. So, that's why we need etiquette when we want to interact with the others. According to the netiquette book that I have read,there are ten rules about how we should interact in the cyberspace. But, I just want to discuss or explain you three points about that.

The first point is, "respect other people's privacy (rule 8)". So, it means that if you want to get some respect from the others people, you have to respect their privacy too. Do not tell their privacy in the cyberspace. For example, if you want to know a little bit about their life, just ask them by personally or secretly. Because sometimes, if you ask or tell about their personal life in cyberspace which every people can see, it can make them get angry and can give a bad effect for you.

The second point is, "don't abuse you power (rule 9)". It means that some people in cyberspace have more power than others. Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them. So, do not be arrogant with your power in cyberspace because that makes a lot of people will hate you and will not to be your friend. So, it is better if you think what you want to do.

The last point is, "be forgiving of  other people's mistakes". It means that when someone makes a mistake whether it is a spelling error  or a stupid question, just be kind about it. For example, if someone said a stupid thing or make no sense about you in the cyberspace, do not be mad. Just say that mistakes politely to them. Do not show to all people that they had made a mistakes.

So, that's all that I want to tell you about netiquette. I hope it can be useful for us. But, I think that you should read more about the netiquette. So, if you want to read more, just open this link:
