My Holiday

Last holiday, I went to my junior high school friend's house. It is located in Cimahi. I went there on December 31st, 2013, because I want to spend my time there to celebrate the new year. I felt very excited when I realized that the new year is coming. I was hoping that 2014 will be the year which I can be a better person, both in physical and spiritual. Also, I was hoping that many good things will happen this year.

The night before, I had prepared all of things that I have to brought to my friend's house. I have prepared some snacks, such as crackers, biscuits, and soft drinks. Also, I brought some great movies to watch at night. I brought some clothes and toiletries so it would be easy to take a bath there. After everything I need were packed, I went to my friend's house.

We decided to met at a restaurant. We were having lunch there, and shared some stories about our own schools. I felt happy because after long time, we can met and gathered together like the old days, when we were still at junior high schools. All of us missed that moments. Therefore, we would not waste this quality time.

After lunch, we were going to bought some fireworks for night. We stopped on the side of the road, and went to a shop that sold some fireworks. We bought many kind of fireworks there. Then, we decided to went to a supermarket because we want to bought more snacks to eat while watching some movies. After we thought the snacks were enough, we went to my friend's house.

It was almost 7 P.M. when we arrived at my friend's house. We have a prayer then prepared all of the snacks and movies. We watched some movies until it was 11 P.M. So, we went outside of my friend's house and having a fireworks party. It was a great view at the sky, when we light some fireworks plus some hits from other people fireworks.

Nobody saws that the clock shows it was 00:00 in January 1st, 2014. I can heard many voices from around me shouting "Happy New Year!", including my friends. People lighted the fireworks much more, grew louder from faraway places and filled the sky. Sounds from trumpets around my friend's house shouting like they were welcoming the new year. That were some great and unforgettable moments from my holiday.

LEADER OF STUDENT COUNCIL

Sometimes, maybe you hear your friends talking about Student Council in school. Do you know what Student Council is? It is an organization which role is to organize and hold various activities in the school. Student Council can also accommodate the aspirations from students. Student Council plays an important role to connect students with teachers. Without Student Council, it is hard to transmit the advice, opinions, comments, or even criticisms from students to teachers.

Student Council has to be an organizations that works best for serving and transmitting students aspirations. This can be happen if Student Council has a great leader, a hardworking person, a responsible person. Let me introduce myself before. My name is Arsent Medyna Ramsya. Now, I'm studying in XI Science 4, SMAN 3 Bandung. I want to offer myself as a candidate for the Student Council leader.

I have some abilities which can be some advantages for leading Student Council. I'm a responsible person. I'm also a good listener, I will hear all of students aspirations. I'm just going to sort out these aspirations, and draw a conclusion so it will be easy to tell them to teachers. I'm a hardworking person too. I will do my best to help all that students need, such as school events.

I have an vision and some missions if I can become the leader of Student Council. My vision is to make Student Council as a good organization that can help students to improve their abilities, creativity, and their achievements. My missions are:

1. Create a good atmosphere between students and teachers.
2. Make the Student Council as a container of aspirations from students.
3. Hold some social events which are beneficial, whether it is inside or outside our school

"A great leader is not a person which have good abilities, knowledge, and leadership skills. They are nothing if they can't be a good listener."

Analytical Exposition from Debate

In Pursuance to Anti-Porn Law, The Government Introduced Public Dress Code

As we know, Indonesia is a developing country, with a dense population. A large number of people live there. Also, there are many cultures found in Indonesia, especially in clothing. Many types of clothes worn in Indonesia. In addition to the result of diverse cultures, various types of clothes worn by people in Indonesia also caused by globalization. People always obtain informations about modern clothes from all over the world, so they want to wear them too.

There is positive impact from this case, such as for clothes designer. They can develop their clothes design, so it won't be an ancient clothing style. But, the negative impacts are worse. Indonesia known as a polite country, especially in clothing. This is very different from modern clothes style. Some of these clothes often showing the parts of our body, such as thin and transparent dress. So, I think the government need to apply the public dress code.

Public dress code can reduce the sexual harassment level. Nowadays, we know that the number of sexual harassment happened in Indonesia are increasing everyday, because of the way we wear our clothes. If government introduced public dress code, it can prevent the occurrence of sexual harassment among the public. Women in Indonesia will have awareness in wearing clothes, so it will reduce the number of crime.

Public dress code can also improve civility. People from all over the world will know us by the politeness in dressing. I think if the goverment applied public dress code, Indonesia will become a famous country that upholds the decency in dressing. They will give us a sense of sympathy. So, this is a right policy which should be applied by the government.

Arsenal Soccer School Recruitment

Arsenal Football Club is one of the leading forces in European football and, with 13 league titles and 10 FA Cup crowns, one of the most decorated in England. Under Arsene Wenger coaching, The Gunners have enjoyed the most successful spell in their 126 year history. Seven major honours, an unbeaten league season in 2003/04 and 15 consecutive seasons in the Champions League have marked Arsenal out as a team that is consistently at the top of its game. More than anything else though, Arsenal have stood out for the way in which they have played the game under Wenger, with the Frenchman championing a highly technical, passing brand of football. The manager’s philosophy has filtered right through the Club, to the Arsenal Ladies – England’s most successful women’s team, the youth academy and Arsenal Soccer School – the Gunners’ grassroots youth football programme. Arsenal Soccer School have been running programmes since 1985.


Arsenal Soccer Schools Philosophy

A – Attitude
To progress to your full potential as a football player it is vital to have the correct attitude both on and off the football pitch. You need to be as positive and dedicated as possible to fully master your skills and you need to be cool and composed when under pressure to keep control of the moment you’re in.

 R – Respect
Always respect your team mates, your opponent, your coach and the referee. In order to get the best out of your team it’s important to appreciate the efforts of those around you. If you fail to respect the opponent you underestimate their potential, which can make your own standards fall below your usual level. Football should be played in the spirit of fair play, encouragement and fun. Take advice from your coach to help your game improve and remember self-respect is key for your own development as a player and a person.

Be inventive with the turns and tricks you use to move the ball, use both feet and don’t forget to work on the basic skills such as control and passing.

E – Energy
You need to have lots of energy to get the most out of playing football. The longer you can maintain a high level of fitness for, the more this will benefit you in games. If you’re not as fit as you can be, it becomes difficult to play to your maximum level. Drink plenty of water, avoid junk food and be as active as you can in your day to day lives.

N – New thinking
Embrace your coach’s ideas and always think about different ways you can improve tactically and technically. Be creative with your thoughts and express them on the field whenever you can.

A – All for One
As much as you can work on your own development, football is a team game. The more you work with your team mates the better you will become as a player and a team. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from football is a game that can be played by everyone. Enjoy the feeling of belonging to a team and do all you can to help your team mates.
