Time runs faster than I expected. It feels like I just celebrated 2012 new year yesterday. But, it has been 2013 right now! Happy new year! :D
ps: Alhamdulillah the doomsday has not come on 20-12-12 last year ;p
2012 was a great year. There were a lot of good and bad memories created last year. A lot of love, a lot of tears, and a lot of happiness. Being 15 years old last year means a lot to me. It means I'm growing up, I have to be more mature than before. That was also my first 'full year' in Senior High School, a thing that sometimes I do not realize.
Last year, a thing has changed. I became XI grader student right now! There were some chances that was waiting for me. One of them was being a member of an organization in my school. One of my superb experience started from here. I got a lot of experience by being committee of my school's anniversary. I worked with another 20 fabulous students. Keep struggling to hold this event, although we only had one month to prepare. Anger, confusion, fear, and togetherness to hold this event were not meaningless when at that time, the event was successful! Our sacrifice paid off. Now I realize that a terrific result can be gotten with a very big effort, too. The most important thing is, we – those 20 students and me- became more solid because of this event.
The other my great experience last year was about an event with the future leaders, 3rd generation of Sampoerna Academy Malang. Guess what? Yeah, Solo Camp! A very great activity designed perfectly by Putera Sampoerna Foundation for us. We were so blessed to have this kind of experience. For three days, we lived on a training barrack of TNI AD. With its field, ramp, limited water, limited food, and some of armies who trained us. I through those three days with my 149 superb friends. Yeah, with all of my friends in 3rd batch of SA Malang, the greatest family ever! In Solo Camp, we were trained to survive, no matter the condition. Whether there was no water to take a bath, no enough lighting, or no hygienic food. From those three days super camp, I got some things to be learned.
First. We live in dormitory. Everything will always be prepared well for us. Be grateful. Don't muff it, or you will realize how lucky you are when you have to prepared it by yourself later.
Second. Friends are friends. Friends will always be there to help you because you can't do anything by yourself alone. Don't be selfish. Help each other. Or you will lament it when you have to do all alone, no one help you, and all you get will be only a failure.
Third. Be good to the earth. When I was on barrack, I can see the mountain, jungle, and the scenery of the hills clearly. It was very beautiful. God has provide us this wonderful earth to be kept, not to be destroyed. Never throw your trash haphazard, pluck and chop the plant, or you will mourn later.
Yeah, those are some of my great experience this year. It's only the smallest part of my life journey on 2012. Hope 2013 will be better!
