Graduating from the Elementary School and attending the favourite school in the city, SMPN 1 Jombang was an exciting experience for me. I had prepared myself mentally and physically to adapt the new environment there. I was the only one from my elementary school who attended the school, so I didn't have anyone I knew before. My friends came from various family. Most of them came from the haves, only a few of them were the same as me, from the moderate family. But, it didn't make me feel bad. I had courage and spirit to study. The most important thing for me was I could follow all the lesson. I didn't want to be left behind from friends. But it's really hard. Most of my friends were selected students and of course most of them were very brilliant. Fortunately, I found many good teachers who assisted me. For example, I found a math teacher who was very clever, Pak Rudi. He had made me impressed with his explanation on math. I really hated math, but with him I found it easier to do math...amazing....oh Pak Rudi...thank you very much I got 8 in my NEM for math. But still, English was my favourite subject. My English teacher was Bu Tin. What I remember most was when she used the Total Physical Response approach. I really enjoyed it.
In this school I learned different kinds of ethnic groups. I learned a lot of things: dancing, singing, music, reading many kinds of novels, listening to English songs. Actually I like singing and dancing since I was still in elementary school. My teacher often asked me to represent my school though I never got a prize...hehehe... In this school I tried to learn lots of things. Among those I mentioned above, I enjoyed joining the scout activity. I liked to have camping in the mountain because I could learn the friendship, togetherness, responsibility, confidence, how to survive in a very limited condition, how to help injured people, how to think and work quickly, and so forth.
The final Exam...came and I got quite good marks....5 subjects and I got 46 in my NEM.....horreeey....and this was the ticket to enter the best Senior High School, SMAN 2 Jombang.....
