An Unforgettable Moment

When I was in junior high school. I joined biology club. That club was kind of an extraculiculerr until it was closed lately. It was built for preparation of science competition such as Research, Olympiad, and many more. My friends and I used to join the meeting at Tuesday afterschool. Mainly, we studied biology with our teacher till afternoon.

In 2012, my teacher told us there is a research competition. It was national competition. I was so excited about it. I suggested bio plastic (eco green plastic), and my friends also gave a lot of idea, but at last my teacher picked my idea as the research. We conducted experiment for 3 months. It was exciting research that I have been doing. After the research, we made a report about it and sent it to the education ministry.

Late August 2012, my group was chosen as finalist at the competition in Banjarmasin, south Kalimantan in the next month. We were so excited. But, only one person as group representative can be flight to Banjarmasin. Luckily, my teacher picked me as that person. I was so happy about it. About one month to the competition. I prepared myself to demonstrate the research by using presentation.

In late September 2012, I flight to Banjarmasin with the other delegation. It was my first long flight. It took about 2 hours until we arrived at Syamsudin Noor Airport at Banjarmasin. Later, we continued an hour car drive to Hotel Aria Barito (the place where competition was held).

After arrived at the hotel. I prepared for the opening ceremony at the hotel’s ballroom. The ballroom was very crowded, many delegation from other province gathered at one place. I was very excited because, that was my first experience to meet other people outside my province. The competition was opened by people from ministry. And later on, I just went to bed because of tired. Anyway, I got room with North Sumatra and West Sulawesi delegation.

On the next day, I meet other contestant. We shared a lot of things. Mainly, we discussed about our research. They were good researcher, they had many unique researches. Many delegation had demonstrated their research. They shared about their experiences when they were in the judging room. Many expression nervous, sad, and etc.

When the others people had finished their demonstration, I just went to the judging room. I got 33 from 38 number. In the judging room I was very nervous, and luckily I nailed it. The last days I just spent it for strolling around the city, sightseeing, until recreation by staff from the ministry to museum and Martapura.

In the night, was closing ceremony and also announcement of the winner. But unfortunately, I didn’t make it. Maybe, I was a little bit disappointed, but anyway I had got a good experience that I never have before. 

My friend's autobiography

Hello, I have a new friend. His name is Septiansyah Nur Subkhi, usually I call him Septian. He sits next to me. He is slim boy. He has fair skin and curly black hair. He was born in 16^th September 16 years ago. He went to 28 Junior High School. He lives at Saluyu XV 257 Street. I met him at student orientation last July. We talked lots of things after the orientation, from school to absurd things.

He is nice boy anyway and kind of an ambitious person and perfectionist, he really pushes himself to gain his goals. And sometimes when he feels so unsatisfied and insecure he will tell me about it. About his grade, his unsuccessful ambitions, or even a ridiculous thing. He will take small things into big deals.

His favorite food is steak. He is carnivore boy . And also he loves cooking, drawing, and singing. He is an artist! I have seen his painting and He does a good job, his painting is so good, and actually he also wants to be an architect. I hope it will come true.

I think he is really well-organized boy. He wakes up in early morning about 3:30am and prepares for school. He also attends a course on Tuesday and Thursday at Ganesha Operation. He also does his homework on time. He doesn’t waste his time for useless things. He is also quite boy when teacher teaches us.  

During recess, He is become fussy boy. He talks lots of things. He often talks about himself. Such as, his previous school memories, his habit,  his big mistakes, etc. I’m just a good listener for him. I want to be a good friend. Usually, he brings his lunch box with a lot of food, he often brings soy cake, rice, noodle, fried egg, etc. But he still buys snacks in canteen, like chips, or anything he likes.

During holiday or short break, He likes listening to the music, doing something that refreshes his mind, jogging, and also doing his hobbies. He really wants to continue his study in Architecture at Bandung Technology Institute. I hope he will make his dreams come true. Keep your good work Septian!

My Autobiography

                    My name is Akmal Alfarizi, everybody often calls me Akmal. I was born in Serang on Monday night, 16th November 1998, and now I’m 15 years old. I have studied in 02 Elementary School and 01 Junior High School Serang. My father is a lecturer and my mother is a housewife. And I have one sister, she is post-graduated. I’m kind of an ambitious person.

                I like reading a book, especially novel. I read my novel in school holiday. My favorite is Roald Dahl’s book. Especially Matilda and the Witches. Matilda is about a genius girl that has a dysfunction family and then The Witches is about a boy who faces the witches during his vacation. And also the Goosebump series is one of my favorite novel.

             I like science, especially Biology and Physics. Biology teaches me about life, from a small substances into a big organs that build an organism. And physics tells me about life phenomenon, the light that makes us can see the whole world, and makes we can see in the light because of electricity. That makes me feel interested to learn science. My dreams is become a scientist, oncology doctor, and many more.

                After finished my study in junior high school, I go to 03 senior high school in Bandung. It’s one of favorite school in Bandung. When I was in elementary school, I really wanted to continue my study in Bandung, and my father suggested me to study in 03 Senior High School Bandung, after graduate from junior high school. So when I was in junior high school, I studied hard for accepted in 03 Senior High School Bandung.             

                My teacher says “To be accepted in that school is very hard, you must pass “SERU 3” and as you know that the test is very hard, only one student in our school have passed the test, and the other one have passed in academic selection (using national examination score)” My teacher words make me push myself to study hard for preparation.

                Luckily, in this year there is no “SERU 3” there is only academic selection, so my chance to be accepted is become bigger. And finally I got accepted in 03 senior high school, my dream school. So in this school, i must study very hard for survive in this school anyway.
