Bangkit dari kematian-kematian kecil adalah kita bangkit dari perbuatan jahat yang kita lakukan (kematian-kematian kecil) dengan berbuat baik dan berhenti berbuat perbuatan yang jahat. Contohnya seperti saya dulu kelas 7 suka off-cam pada saat PJJ dan takut berbicara kepada guru, tetapi sekarang saya lebih sering on-cam dan lebih berani berbicara dengan guru. Usaha yang saya lakukan adalah saya lebih sering on-cam karena sebenarnya harus on-cam dan juga saya lebih memerhatikan guru daripada memikirkan muka saya kelihatan dan merasa malu. Kalau saya ada pertanyaan untuk guru tetapi saya tidak berani tanya guru, saya tidak akan mengerti. Jadi saya sedikit demi sedikit saya lebih banyak bertanya kepada guru.
At the start of the pandemic, I was confused, because I thought this pandemic was all just a lie, a hoax. But I didn’t really care, I was really happy because I can play games everyday.
Around the month of July, school started again and I moved to SMP Tarakanita 2. I wasn’t really used learning at home and it felt pretty weird. This school was unique in it’s teaching methods, as it uses a system called Project Based Learning (PJBL). As the name suggests, this system was based on making projects. These projects teach you on how to make projects to prepare ourselves in the future as we also have to make projects then.
At first, I was confused on how this system worked, all I know was I had to wrap the project in some digital form. So I made a website to hold all the answers to the driving questions. But at the time, I didn’t even knew that there were any driving questions. I just thought that as long as there were all the subjects in the school, it would suffice.
Every month there were new projects to make. I honestly kind of like this, as they weren’t many tests that require you to memorize all the answers. So I continued making projects until it was the end of the school’s second semester. It was time to go to the next grade.
But before that, I was invited to be one of the presenters in the event PJBL Exhibition. So for those who do good in projects, they can show they’re projects and tell them how they make it. The point of this event was to inspire people to make better projects and use different forms, not just a ppt slideshow. So I made another website that is pretty much like my portfolio, and that was the website I will present. People were inspired. It made more people have the will to learn how to make a website.
All in all, I had a really good time in this school. I learned many things, make new friends, and got close to the teachers. Thank you, SMP Tarakanita 2 for giving me a good time in your school.
