GRADUATION DAY

To be honest, I never thought about the graduation day I am going to have next year. But after I got the task to write an article about graduation day, I started to think about it. I am really happy knowing that I am going to graduate next year, I feel really proud that I can continue to a higher level, and I can get more challenges and experiences. But in the same time, I feel strange. How can time fly so fast? I felt like I just graduated from elementary school yesterday, and tomorrow I will graduate from junior high school. Time fly so fast. When I first entered junior high school I hope that time can past faster, but then I started to adapt myself with the new environment, and now I am really enjoying being in junior high school. Time flies so fast when you enjoy something. Have you ever heard of it? I agree with that, I didn’t realize that I am going to graduate next year. It was not because I didn’t care about graduation, but it was because I am really enjoying my time here, and it made me forget about time.

In this school, I am not only receiving education, I also learn something new, and solve many problems I have never tried to solve before. I also make a lot of memories, which I won’t forget. I can say that my feeling about graduation day is mix, I feel happy, proud, yet I also feel sad. I will feel sad because when I graduate, I will have to be apart from my friends because some of us will go to different school. It is really hard to say good bye to my friends because we have been really close as if we are family, but we can still meet up sometimes. I will miss my friends, teachers, and the activities in junior high school. I will miss the time I study with all of my friends, my friends make studying more exciting for me, we like to tell joke while we are studying so we can relieve our stress. And another memory I won’t forget is when we went to Jogjakarta, we talked and played together until late at night, we went shopping in Malioboro, and it made our friendship even stronger. I also got a lot of experiences and memories from joining the school organization, I will always remember the time when my friends, my seniors, and I were making an event and we had to stay in the school until late at night to prepare for the event, and it was a really great experience for me.  And there are many more memories. But, even though I really enjoy being in junior high school, I can’t just stay here.  Life must goes on, so I will just keep the memories I have here with me.

I am really grateful that I can study in Harapan Bangsa School, here I can improve my creativity, communication skill, and I can be a better person. I hope that Harapan Bangsa School can become better than before, by participating more in many competitions so students can be more active and they can socialize with students from another school. And I also hope that Harapan Bangsa School can create more event that can improve student teamwork and creativity. I am hoping the best for Harapan Bangsa School

After I graduate, my juniors will soon graduate too. So, my message is don’t think that school is something that is annoying, just enjoy it. Because if you enjoy it, time flies faster. Enjoy every moments you have in school, don’t waste it because someday you will ask for more time. And don’t be scare of graduation, it is not the ending but it is just another beginning. That’s all from me, thank you for reading.
