My Own Way to Study (JOURNAL)

The date I wrote this "10th GRADE JOURNAL"

When I was in elementary school, and junior high, I did my study if there is homework or a test. Actually until now, I still do that. But, fortunately and unfortunately my teachers always give me homework. It’s mean that I have to study every day

When I have test, it’s mean that I should memorize some matter form my lesson, according to me my ability in memorizing something is not so good. It should be a sign first, and then I can remember the other part. So, I try the find a way that can give me the sign.

I haven’t got it yet, until I followed a test. The aim of this test is, to make us know, in which way our study will be optimal. And the result is, I’m a visual. So, it will be easier for me if I study with picture or color. I make the place, the picture or the color as the ‘pancingan’.

I can get the thing that the teacher explain to me, but I can’t remember it if I’m not repeat it. So, I should study again at dorm.

There are so many activities at dorm. So, I only have limited time to study. Usually, I will finish my other work except study first. Such as, washing my cloth, make tidy my room and do my homework. If I already finished all of them, I’ll study bout the lesson that I’ll get in the next day. But, I do it if I still have enough strength. If I already very sleepy, I’ll go to bed. Because, I think it will be useless if I force my self to study while I feel sleepy, I’ll get nothing from it. So, if I’ll go to bed early. And then try to get up early morning in order to study.  But, usually I’m afraid I can’t get up early, so for preparation, before going to bed, I will read some matter first, so I’ll not be a blind student when the teacher explain to me at the next day.

“Want to make my parents happy with the entire thing I do.

Specially proud of my achievement.

But, if I can’t make them happy,

at least I will not make them sad.”

So, I work hard in order to get good score, although sometimes there are some persons say that a score is not important. Because, it is the only way for my parents to see how far I understand the matter, how hard I study, and how is my condition in this school.

The One Who Inspires Me (JOURNAL)

The date I wrote this "10th GRADE JOURNAL"

I ever knew a person. He lives in Bondowoso, he is about 48 years old. I know him well, although he isn’t perfect, but he is a very good person. He is such a humorist person, so he often makes his friend or anyone around him laugh. I think it is a kind of share the happiness, and only a few people can do that. We live in this world together with other person, right? I’m sure that we have our own opinion about other, whether it is good or not. If I see from my point of view, there are many persons who like him, because of his kindness.

When I was junior high student, I met him everyday. Its make me know what kind of person he is. He is a discipline person. He can manage his time very well. I never seen he works in a hurry. He always does it calmly, because he knows the time. Really want to be like that. He is often angry to me, because I’m his opposite. Haha. When he works in calm, I work in a hurry. When he works quickly, I work slowly. So, I often make him wait for me, because I’m late. Actually, I want to be like him, to be on time. But it is so hard. I’m still trying.

Talk about his anger. He can manage it too. He wouldn’t angry so sudden. He always remind me first, when I still repeat the thing that he doesn’t want me to do, he will angry to me. But not with high intonation, he just asks me to sit with him. Then he talks about many things with me. He often tells me about his story life. And he makes me understand about my mistakes. It is a good way for make me change my bad behavior.

He is so wise, discipline, patient, humorist, and also a kind person. He always works on his best. 

He is my father.

Every good thing he does, make me admire him. He inspires me to be a person that should lead our self. It’s mean that, I should make a good decision for my self. I try to being a discipline person, being a patient person, and being a nice person for other. It is a little bit hard, but it is also really good.

I’ll try with all my best, to be like him, even more I want to be better than him. J

Who I am and What I Want to be (JOURNAL)

The date I wrote this "10th GRADE JOURNAL"

I’m vidya, 15 years old. I was born in Bondowoso on 24 February 1996. Actually, it’s hard for me to express who I am. But, I’ll try.

In ESL class, Mrs. Diah gave me a piece of paper that consists of some question. I should answer that question and each answer choice have different score. Then, the score will define me, in what side I should belong to. And the result is I include in half-positive side. Well, I agree with that, because I have some positive and negative side. For positive side, I’m a girl that really easy to forgive someone faults, I think I’m loyal and sometimes I can make my friend laugh with my foolish joke. For the negative side, I’m a pessimistic girl, I often can’t believe in my self for doing something that need big responsibility. But, right know, I just knew that I can do it. For example in get Sampoerna Academy scholarship. I believe that I can get it, and finally what? Finally I really get it. The other negative side of me is I’m very easy to cry. I cry to express my anger and my sadness. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends that understand me. They are including into the top five worth thing for me.

Here they are…

1.      God

2.      Parents (Family)

3.      Best Friend

4.      Teacher

5.      Friend

Right now, I live with a lot of friends in dorm, although it is very hard, but I like to live there. I can learn many things about life in this dorm. I just realized that, Life without my parents is really hard. But, I should survive. In this dorm, I learn more about share, discipline, respect and thankful. I’m sure that little by little, my negative side will be gone. Such now, I can believe in my self, and I can hold my tears to fall down, although, sometimes I still can’t do that. I can be more discipline; I always have plan for the thing what to do. But, it is still hard to realize it. hehe ^^v.

Well, with all negative and positive side that I have, I still do my best to reach my goals. My goals are… be a good girl, be a good Muslim, be a good friend, be a good leader, be a good student. If you ask me which one I have reached. My answer is NOTHING. Hahaha. I mean that all those things still in the process. So, sometimes I can be a good friend and sometimes I can’t control my self.

Beside those goals, I have the other want. But, it’s can change every time. Until now, I want to be a tax committee or a dentist.  But, tomorrow that wants may be change. May be tomorrow I want to be an English teacher, the next day I want to be a businesswoman or something else. I hope, I can reach my goals first. Because I think, if all my goals have reached, it will make me easier to get my want. Amen.

Have some sentences that I use for motivate my self, like a cheer for me. I often said it when I try to make my self calm down. Here they are…

“The day just started, it just the beginning.”

“Every day is hard, but every day will be past.”

“Do something important, forget the useless one.”

“Believe in God, Believe in you.”

Actually, I just want to tell you that, Vidya today is not same with Vidya in 2 months ago.
