My Experiences

STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM

          My school held student exchange program. The program held in Magelang and Cilacap district. The participants were all of the student in grade VIII Junior High School 3 Kebumen. I was placed in Magelang. My friends and I went to Magelang on Sunday at 1.00 pm by car.

 First, we went to Junior High School 2 Magelang. I was surprised with the school because the school was smaller than my school. But, as I knew that mosque is bigger than my school’s mosque in Kebumen. After that, we walking around the school yard and observed to adapt with new environment.

          On the first lesson, I enjoyed the condition but in other side I felt disappointed. The students from Magelang were very disrespectful with the teacher from Kebumen. So, it made me didn’t want to continue this class. In my opinion, a good situation could be built by respected to each other.

          The second day, I followed the journey to Senior High School of Taruna Nusantara by public transportation. I was proud because I could visit the one of the most favorite senior high school in Central of Java. I learned many activities in class and in out of class. The Taruna’s students were very discipline, so that it becomes a good model of success students. After we joined the school touring, we continued the trip to Kyai Langgeng Park to refreshing. 

We got sport lesson in third day. I had funny experience when we played volley ball. I hit one of the girl with a ball but I was not deliberate. At the time, I came to her and ask her to forgive me. I was happy when she gave me a smile. It was a signal that she forgave me. 

          The last days, we joined the lesson as usual. We tried to make unforgettable experience with joined many activities well. For example, we followed the lesson more enthusiasm than usual. At the break time, we went to canteen and ate the favorite food in the school, so we can remember the special menu.

          After following student exchange program, I got many knowledges and experiences. One of them is how to be an autonomous and disciplinary student because I didn’t live with my parents there. It made me resolve the problem alone and I could learn to become a college student. I think it was nice an unforgettable moment as long as junior high school’s student.
