School Or House Of Ghost

            Did you ever think that school will be saved by you. Convenience school can be seen from the school building and  people who studied in the school. So many schools in the world and we can choose where we are going to school. For some students, the most important thing is the school where they can learn and gain knowledge with others. So did I,the most important thing is I can learn and continue my study and do not drop out of school. One of my scared about that school was I did not want to study in  that haunted private school.

            After I graduated from junior high school, I went to a private school that I never seen before. When the first time I studied in there, the atmosphere is rather horrible school and school location was situated at the corner. This is the first time I entered a private school and I was feeling a bit strange. The first day of school I felt so relaxed, I met with new friends and take a class XB. In the class, only one person  that I know  is Nindi. Nindi was my friend when we met in extracurricular tutorial lesson in EXIS,I know her from junior high. Nindi came from a different junior high school. And we were shared our bench. After a few months, we know each other and I found many friends which naughty. When I was in class X, there are two classes of schools that left from school in school time ,they did not enter to school and  went to Lubuk Minturun.

            Because of that incident,teacher that tought at the time complained to representative and we got punishment. The next day,we did it again and never think about punishment. So easy for them to miss school. Not all class XB that involved left school at the time. I was surprised to see and hear that incident. I felt that was not a school, because at school I felt lonely even though  I have many friends. Many things I did not from that school likes,friends who did not respect the teacher and the bell rang at 7.30 a.m.Nevertheless, I must love my school. I should proud of it. Maybe because of I school there, I could pass SNMPTN in English Department.

            When I in XI IPS 3, I still have not been able to focus the lesson, because the system is not attractive teaching and teachers are frequently absent we often miss class. How can the school forward, if bad habits are still used and applied. And I just kept silent and regretting why did I register my buya to this school. Buya said to me that school where children of lecturer studied. But I did not fell it. It was a school for naughty students. And by the time XI IPS 3,when I absorbed the fun of learning, there is someone who did not I know send a message to me that he wanted to meet with me. After we send the messages, and the first time we meet on the edge of the road and just a bit of a talk, he is older than me 3 years. After the meeting, somehow he would call me very often. I felt a little bit uncomfortable but I enjoyed our small talk. After 2 days of we knew each other, he immediately tell his felt to me through the telephone, I became shocked and can only be silent and I did not answer it. For him, when I silent it meant I accept his love. By the way,my boyfriend named Tomi. We dated approximately 7-8 months. And my parents know my relationship with him. Finally I decided to put an end to our love story because ummi said "you want to focus on school, or going out with him?, If you want to focus on school, you cannot out with him, if you are still going out with him, then you quit school and both of you will be married". And I was not chose to continue going out with him again. And I was focused on my school when my class XII IPS3.

            I took lessons in GO (Ganesha Operation).  I got my friends in GO were mostly from SMAN in Padang such SMAN 1, SMAN 10, SMAN 2, SMAN 3, and so on. And I also felt insecure because I was the only student who came from private school. How embarrassed I was, when I went into that class. It turns out my friends who I met in GO is very different from my friends  in the school, they are friendly, nice, not stingy, and willing to share.

            When I was in class XI IPS3, I have two friends named Sri and Ratuma or commonly called Adek, I thought they were good friends. One day, I was summoned to counseling office, they slandered me and my friend Rizka that my words made them angry. And we also surprised  with exceptional acting, they were crying in the office. We were surprised, but they are the one who slandered us and counseling teacher believe their story. DAMN, why is there such a friend in this world. In fact, they were worse than what they say. What kind of friends is that. How dare they are. I  really hate both of them.

            After one year I took lessons in GO, I also gained a university entrance exams, SNMPTN. Before the test, I look for books that deal a lot of SNPMTN. Every night I learned that I can enter a state university in Padang. Although  buya is  one of  employee in the university, it did not mean I can pass with ease.

             To gain our education , no matter how many people who did not like you, how many people who support you to go forward, and insulting my efforts. From there source of our power to keep the spirit to achieve successful. From bad experiences that I experienced at the school, private school turns unpleasant.

SMARTPHONE : Good Or Not For Health?

            Are you smartphone user , why you choose a smartphone as your gadget, or do  think you will be cool by having a smartphone?.Smartphone is one of technology that have  many  functions and applications. You can choose a brand of smarphone that you want likes Samsung,Sony,BlackBerry,and so on. Although smartphone become a trend as new comer for phone user,not all people have and using smartphone. Some people choose a smartphone to make their job easier.Half of people do not use a smartphone because of health or cost. Besides ,the smartphone have many functions and application to be access ,it does not mean all people can use smarthphone. There are some advantages and disadvantages in using a smartphone.

            There are advantages in using smart phone. First, smartphone can make communication become easy. Many applications that you can use likes facebook,twitter,BBM,line,kakao talk ,youtube,etc.Those applications can be access easily that you can chatting with your friends from another country without going to their  town.And also, we can send a voice,pictures,video,etc to them. For example, when we use a Kakaotalk, we can chat with people in other country and talking about anything. In smartphone, we can use all applications for chatting and those applications have one similarity is can write and send a message.

            Then ,smartphone will make users update about new information , hot issue ,or gossip about something. For examples, Ivan Gunawan wants to be a stepfather  for Bilqis (Ayu Ting – Ting ‘s daughter). It is the hot gossip lately in entertaiment world. Or if you busy and cannot watch television,you will check the hot issue by using your smartphone to search that issue.

            On the other hand, there are disadvantages in using smartphone. It can cause some diseases likes dry eyes, amnesia, and can be mentalistic illness. Mr.Allon Barsam from Luton and Dunstable University Hospital said that do not use a smartphone at least 15 minutes at the same time in  the room without light . It can cause your eyes become dry. To decrease your dry eyes, you may set text in your smartphone bigger.  And also Dr Sandy Chapman, chief director for the Center for Brain Health in Dallas, who has studied the effects of technology on the brain, was quoted in nbcdwf.com, saying: "It's really keeping us at this distracted level, so everything that we're thinking about tends to be quicker, less synthesized, and that's what's making us dumber." Those experts said that how dangerous smartphone for our health especially your eyes and brain. Some people never think that using smartphone is a wrong choose.

            And then, smartphone make us individualist. Why I said like that,if they do not do anything ,they just busy with their smartphone without know about something happen around them. They just update information from another country and never response  problem in our country itself(based on my brother experience). In a real world,we have alot of friends  and in social media ,we also have much friends. But users of smartphone think that their friends are only in  their contact of their smartphone. The real friend is a friend that always together with you wherever you are,knowing you privately,close to you,you can touch them,they know your conditions. According to a psychologist Dr.Emma Short From University of Bedforshiren,technology can make you difficult to manage  the boundaries in your live. So , do not make your smartphone make you far from your real world.

             In conclusion, using a smartphone  is a one way to connect with people far from you. Whatever you want, you will get from a smartphone,including get a new friend and become you girlfriend or boyfriend later on. It is interesting. But ,use a smartphone  do not make you forget about your  real friend and time. You have to know how you can keep your health and still looking good with a smartphone. Using a smartphone do not make you become smart.   Be a good user if you do not want to be sick with smartphone. If you get  hard diseases, using a smartphone it is  not cool anymore. Think again if you want to use a smartphone and also think your health.

My Own Weaknesses And Strenghts In Writing

            What is wrong in my writing? Why I get some difficulties in writing? Writing is a interesting habit ,you can write anything you want likes your school,your boyfriend,or about your secret. Writing will be fun if you like writing itself. In writing we will write words that do not you use while you speaking. You can use your own words in writing. Writing looks like easy if you do not try to write,but if you try to write something you will think that what should I write especially writing in english.

            My own weaknesses in writing are hard to get idea,difficult to get inspiration,less sources. First, hard to get idea is something familiar with writers when they are writing. In writing,it’s difficult for me to find new idea,I have to think harder to get idea or asking a friend to help me to complete my idea.

            Second ,difficult to get inspiration. Related to the first weaknesses, inspiration as difficult as  to get idea. If I do not get new idea, it means I do not get inspiration in writing. Sometimes,I have an idea but I think  it is not important. Third ,less sources. I should more reading in order to complete my idea in writing.

            In contrast, I have strenght  in writing but I am not sure about it,I am fast in writing. For me,if I get new idea , I write quickly and elaborate it based on the idea. I should write it before I forgot and blank.  I think ,I do not have streghten in writing. Maybe, it is because I am not really like reading so I get difficult in writing. That is my mistake, I realize that but I will try to read if I have a mood to read. So ,I do too in writing.

            I should read more sources in order to find new idea and get inspiration from it. I have to have mood to read and try to find inspiration related to the idea. I must like reading everything. If I get one source, I just read that book. That is  the bad thing. I have to read as much as I can and try to find many sources in order to rich my vocabulary and  knowledge about my writing itself.

            I know I am not good in writing . But I hope in writing 2 I will get  an A. It is something impossible for me,but I have to do it. What should I do?. To get score A I will do some efforts to improve my writing.

            First ,  I should have own idea and no plagiarism. I  should find my own idea and try to find sources about what will I write. From that, I can get inspiration to write a text or an essay. Then, I will try to discuss it with my friend about my own idea. And then, I will write it in outline and try to elaborate.  For improve my writing I should not do plagiarism because It is not a way to get A in writing.

            Second,  I should  take a note. I should make a note in order to list what should I write or not. Get some impotant points from some sources and write  it. When I am writing, I can add some sentences related to the  points that I have been written before. I also pay attention on  my own style in writing. My writing is  also to the point and less examples so that I difficult to elaborate my writing.
