Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena is a week of a sports competition in my school, which is 3 Senior High School Bandung. This event was held on the 28-30 of February 2016 and will continue in around the 31 March - 2 April 2016. There was many of sports that contested in this event. Futsal, Basketball, Dodgeball, Badminton, Volley, Tug of war, Relay, and a traditional game that named Gobak Sodor.

Every class, should have their own jersey and they have to wear it in the event. This event was opened by our headmaster, Mr. Encang in the morning of the 28th February. Sadly, 2 weeks before the event, I was stricken with typhoid and dengue fever and I just recovered 2 day before the event begin. So, I can't give my best for my class. The first type of sport that i contributed in was the relay. It was played on the running track in Bali Field, Every class must participate a send a team of 4 people. Basically, the first person have to run and give the stick to the second runner and so on until the fourth runner. The first team to reach the finish win. I was the fourth runner and unfortunately, we lost. Congrats for the winner, but i forgot who was it. At the first round of knockout system, our class was doing pretty good. We had our basketball, volley, Tug of war, an Women's double badminton team that made their way into the second round.

The second and the third day i think was pretty bad. We lost our basketball team, tug of war team, and the women's double badminton and just leaving the volley team alone on the third round. And we lost the futsal team too which i was played in. I'm so sad. Why every time i participate in, my team always lost, But the futsal thing is not a big lost for me because, the situation was very difficult. We should have played the game of futsal at around 3 pm. But it was delayed because of the rain and we played the game at 5 pm with the very wet condition of the field. It was very slippery and we just lost 1-0. I think it's okay to lose when the condition is like that.

And the last thing, i hope my best for our volley team. We can win it!

Education for Better Future

Today, education is one of the most important aspects of our lives. Education is to determine the future direction of our lives. No wonder if now, everyone is chasing the highest education that they can reach. The problems in our education lies primarily in the education system that does not match the capabilities of each person. It should be noted that every person has a different interest, talent, and potential. So it is necessary to develop an appropriate educational system begin from childhood.

Other problems are the high levels of stress due to children who are thinking and pursuing education, whether it be from a child's will itself or will the parents. Many children who are already burdened with learning from a young age which is from kindergarten. This caused the children to lose their joy which is their playing time. Education is very important for the future of the children, but remember that children have their own pleasure, and spoil his fun, directly or indirectly, are just really going to make the childrem weighed and increase the stress level of the child. Then apply a fun learning is the best thing for the children who were still in kindergarten. Insert these lessons in a game that is loved by children. Not to forget also, enter a moral message that good in the game. By doing so, the child will feel happy and not burdened with learning itself.

The higher the education level, the lessons will become increasingly difficult and boring for students. This is is felt by most students who are in junior high and high school. The first issue that arises is the students are required to master all of the material being taught. In fact, every student has different interests. An example is that every student is given the demands for control of 12 subjects taught to him, even though he is only interested in one of these subjects, causing the student learning becomes lazy and ineffective. So it would be better if the student is be led to lessons he interested early on that since junior high. Then the students will find it reduced the burden of learning and make it more concentrated on what he was interested in the job for one day, is not required of people who mastered all the subjects.

In this globalization era, a lot can be done to facilitate learning, one of which is by implementing e-learning. Some schools are already implementing it but not all. By implementing e-learning, the access to learning will be easier and easier for the students. I am sure, all students now own a smartphone and what harm in applying this learning system? All it takes is training for the teachers to master e-learning. That way, the learning is done can take place efficiently. An example is learning by video call. it can save time and can be done anywhere and anytime. Do not dwell only within the school.

But, do not forget the most important aspect of learning is attitude. Each learning must be pasted moral learning. If you are a very intelligent person but had a bad attitude, then you are useless. Attitude is the most important aspect. So a good learning must be balanced with a good moral lesson anyway, because in fact, the attitude that determines our future. Remember, knowledge is power but character is more.
