My Memorable Moments When I was Student at School
After learning while playing at kindergarten school for 2 years, I continued my education at a public elementary school in July 2005. I had experienced learning some subjects in the classroom for the first time, completing the midterm exams and final exams in the classroom for the first time, improving English skills at an English course, participating in English news reading competition at an English course, improving mathematics skills at a learning center, finishing the final exams in the classroom for one week and attending some events at public elementary school for six years. I had graduated at public elementary school in June 2011. The most memorable moments when I was elementary school student were I was advised by some of my homeroom teachers not to play and check the social media because I had been lazy to read some textbooks and I prioritized checking and playing the social media than reading some textbooks after arriving at my home from a public elementary school. Additionally, I liked to watch news program on Jak-TV and I was inspired by some presenters and reporters on Jak-TV when I was primary school student since 2006 until July 2011. Moreover, I loved discussing with Mr. Adam Lubis, Ms. Luluk Lukmiyati, Mr. Adjat Wiratma and Mr. William Darmawan on social media after they were working as reporter and news presenter at that time.
Studied at Private Islamic Junior High School
I continued my education to a private junior high school in July 2011. I tried to register as a prospective new student at a public junior high school, but I failed and did not continue studying at a public junior high school. So, I decided to continue my education to a private junior high school after participating in academic test and interview session in January 2011 at a private junior high school. I attended the new student orientation at the private junior high school for three days and I had to wear a medium name tag and colorful clothes during the new student orientation at that time. I was happy but I was nervous when I attended the new student orientation at the private junior high school at that time. Finally, I attended the new student orientation at the private junior high school well and smoothly.
I had experienced studying some subjects in a private junior high school for the first time, completing the midterm and final exams in different classrooms for the first time, improving my English skills in an English course in the afternoon, meeting my favorite male English teacher in an English course, improving my math skills in the learning center in the evening, participating in several programs in a private junior high school, attending a camping event at a campsite for 2 nights and 3 days, completing a final exam for one week and refreshing my brain by watching news programs on Jak-tv after going home from my junior high school for 3 years.
The most memorable moment when I was a student at a private junior high school was I could improve my English skills at an English course every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, I met my favorite senior male lecturer and took a photo with him (late Mr. Baskara) after studying English on Wednesday or Saturday afternoon. Moreover, because I was neglected by almost all of my classmates, so I always communicated with some of my teachers both in the classroom and on social media, I was advised by my Quran teacher because I couldn’t answer the Quran exam questions well. Afterwards, I watched news programs on Jak-tv and communicated with some of Jak-tv presenters and journalists, like as Mr. Adam Lubis, Mrs. Sella Wangkar, Ms. Luluk Lukmiyati, Mr. William Darmawan, Mr. Abdul Rasyid, Mrs. Rahma Sarita and Ms. Yassirni Syarifah on social media at that time. In fact, I had started to be interested in watching the Khalifah program on Trans 7 almost every Saturday and Sunday morning and I had started to know the Khalifah presenter, Mr. Budi Ashari on Trans 7. In fact, I started to see and know the profile of Mr. Budi Ashari on social media when I was in ninth grade at a private junior high school at that time. Although I was neglected by almost all my classmates, I could complete all assignments and activities independently at private junior high school well. Additionally, I always communicated with almost all my teachers both in the teachers’ office and on social media when I had free time. Indeed, I communicated and studied English with my classmates and my best English teacher (late Mr. Baskara) at English course every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. Moreover, I loved watching Ada Apa Berita Jak-tv program at seven o’clock in the evening every Monday to Friday, I also watched and learned the Islamic history on Khalifah program at six o’clock in the morning every Saturday and Sunday. Then I tried to discuss and communicate with some of Jak-tv hosts (Mr. Adam Lubis, Mrs. Sella Wangkar, Ms. Luluk, Mrs. Rahma, Mr. William Darmawan and Mr. Abdul Rosyid) on social media as well as the Khalifah Trans 7’s moderator, Mr. Budi Ashari after studying at private junior high school and an English course several years ago.
Studied and Improved My Skills at Private Islamic Senior High School
After graduating from a private junior high school in June 2014, I continued my education at a private high school in the third week of July 2014. After participating in the private high school promotion, finally, I took the academic test, psychological test and interview session at the private high school in February 2014. Fortunately, I was accepted as a new student at the private high school and I started to register as a new student at the administration room in front of my private high school in March 2014. I started attending the new student orientation at the private high school in the third week of July 2014. I had to wear a wide name tag, wear traditional clothes and attend an introduction session about the private high school, the teachers at the school and the seniors at the school for 3 days. After attending the new student orientation for 3 days, I attended Ramadan class for 3 days and I met all the teachers and new classmates at the private high school well at that time. After the Eid holiday, I started studying in the classroom with my new classmates and new teachers at a private high school in August 2014. Then I began to enjoy learning English with my classmates at an English course from Monday to Wednesday at seven o’clock that evening. In fact, I had to enjoy alternating activities with the program that I had to attend at my private high school on Friday evening. So I had to ask permission from my English teacher (late Mr. Baskara) to not attend English class because I had to attend the school program on Friday evening. But I would never forget the memories of studying English at the English course from Monday to Wednesday night. So I sometimes had to do my homework at private high school before starting the first lesson time at that time.
The most memorable moment when I was a student at a private high school was when I went to a science research site in Serpong and Alam Sutera by bus with my classmates and my favorite teachers at that time. Then I went to Untirta university in Serang to see the situation of the university there and attended a collaboration meeting between my school and my public university. I went to Untirta university at eight o’clock that morning and I arrived there at ten o’clock that morning. After attending the collaboration event there, I went to the Faculty of Engineering to see the classrooms in the Faculty of Engineering, prayed together at the mosque and continued my journey to the beach to refresh my brain together before going back to my senior high school at five o’clock that afternoon. After staying on the road for 2 hours, finally, I arrived back at school at 7 o’clock that evening and I went home at half to eight at that evening. Although I was tired, I was able to enjoy the public university visit program well and was successful at that time. After completing the final exam at the English course, finally, I had graduated from the English course and I was officially an alumni of the English course after studying and improving my English skills at the English course for eight years at that time. Although I was an alumni of the English course, my classmate died because of a serious illness, but my English teacher (late Mr. Bas) had changed his attitude and character towards me so that I couldn’t wait to leave my teacher at that time.
Senior Trip when I was 9th Class of Junior High School and 12th Class of Senior High School
After completing the final exam for four days, finally, I prepared to attend a group trip to Mount Bromo in Probolinggo, the Transport Museum, and Selecta Park in Batu Town with my classmates and teachers using trains and buses. I arrived at Pasarsenen station at exactly one that afternoon and took the train to Malang station at exactly three that afternoon. I had to take a rest on the train for a few hours and arrived at Malang Station at eight o’clock that morning. I had lunch at a restaurant, bought apples at the apple orchard in Batu town with my classmates and I started going to Mount Bromo by bus at exactly one that afternoon. I arrived at the villa around Mount Bromo at exactly six that evening. Then I had dinner and went to bed in my room at nine o’clock that night. I woke up at two o’clock that morning and I invited my close friends to prepare to go to Mount Bromo in the bedroom. At three o’clock that morning, I went to Mount Bromo with my friend using a jeep and I arrived at the entrance gate of Mount Bromo at four o’clock that morning. I had breakfast and I walked up Mount Bromo to enjoy the sunrise with my close friends. After enjoying the sunrise over Mount Bromo, I walked back to the jeep to go to Teletubbies Hill around Mount Bromo to take some photos with my two best friends at twenty minutes to eight that morning. After playing and taking photos with my two best friends at Teletubbies Hill, we went back to the villa to charge our phones, take a shower, eat fried rice, wear the colorful clothes and prepare to go to the Transport Museum in Batu City at ten o’clock that morning. I arrived at the Transport Museum in Batu city at one o’clock that afternoon. I invited my two best friends to take photos while walking around the Transport Museum. After walking around the Transport Museum, I bought snacks and milk to eat and drink on the bus while enjoying the torrential rain. At six o’clock that evening, I arrived at the hotel and took a shower, then I changed into my school uniform and had dinner with my two best friends. After having dinner together, I attended the graduation ceremony with my teachers and my principal. Finally, I had graduated from high school and I could continue my education to university to get a bachelor’s degree. After exchanging gifts with my schoolmates, I walked back to my hotel room to sleep together with my two best friends until six o’clock in the morning.
The next day, I woke up at six o’clock in the morning and took a shower, wore t-shirt and trousers, had breakfast, and enjoyed the trip to the next tourist spot with my classmates. After arriving at Selecta Park, I played and took photos with my classmates for a few hours. After taking photos, I walked back to the bus to enjoy the trip to the souvenir shop at Malang city before preparing to wait for the train at Malang station at one o’clock that afternoon. After buying souvenirs at the souvenir shop, we went to Malang station and waited for the train at Malang station at three o’clock that afternoon. We took the train to Jakarta at six o’clock that afternoon. I had dinner, slept, and enjoyed the trip in the train so that I arrived at Pasarsenen station at ten o’clock that morning. I took the bus again and enjoyed the bus ride for 2 hours so that I arrived back at school at twelve o’clock that afternoon. Although I was tired, I could attend the outing program with my classmates and my teacher smoothly and successfully.
When I was in ninth grade of junior high school, I went to Jogja by bus for twelve hours so I was easily sick when I had to stay in the bus for twelve hours to arrive in Jogja. I arrived in Jogja at eight o’clock in the morning and I went to the Jogja palace, Malioboro street, Beringharjo market and ate at restaurants around Jogja with my classmates and my teachers at that time. When I went to Borobudur temple, ultimately… All my classmates preferred to take photos with their squad rather than my classmates taking photos with me and the other teachers so it was difficult for me to communicate with my classmates at that time. After enjoying the trip to Jogjakarta, my classmates and my teachers as well as I went home to Jakarta at seven o’clock that morning and I arrived at school at two o’clock in the morning the next day.
The trip to Mount Bromo was a moment I would never forget when I was in the twelfth grade in high school at that time. Although the trip to Yogyakarta was also a moment I would never forget, then I had enjoyed the school program in Yogyakarta with my classmates and my teachers at a private junior high school several years ago. But I also did not miss watching the Khalifah program on Trans 7 to increase my knowledge of Islamic history at that time.
I started watching the Khalifah program on Trans 7 when I was in eighth grade at a private junior high school. I watched the host of Khalifah program, mr. Budi Ashari was explaining the history of the story of the prophet Muhammad and the companions of the prophet Muhammad. Ustadz Budi Ashari had explained the history of the Prophet Muhammad and the companions of the Prophet Muhammad completely, with the valid data and solid research for all audiences of the Khalifah program. He has dressed the clothes neatly and he has enjoyed exploring the shooting location steadily. Since he has answered questions and explained the history completely, so I was happy and I really enjoyed watching him on the Khalifah program.
Finally, I watched the Khalifah program on Trans 7 when the episode in the program was very interesting and the episode discussed life around us, starting from discussing the history of Eid al-Adha, the importance of zakat fitrah and alms, the history of the Prophet Muhammad’s wives, the etiquette of reading the Quran and the history of government during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Those few episodes made me more amazed by Mr. Budi Ashari’s hosting performance and he was so relaxed and professional during discussions with several guests on the Khalifah Trans 7 program every Sunday at that time. I checked the social media and I waited for information about Mr. Budi Ashari’s seminar. Finally, I got information that Mr. Budi Ashari’s seminar was held in February 2017 at a mosque near my school. On that Sunday afternoon, I went to the mosque near my school to attend the parenting seminar. Finally, Mr. Budi Ashari arrived at the mosque at one o’clock that Sunday afternoon and he immediately explained the importance of parenting for family life. He explained the importance of parenting for families for two hours on that Sunday afternoon. After attending the parenting seminar, I wanted to go to the bathroom and finally, I met Mr. Budi Ashari and I discussed with him for five minutes. Moreover, I immediately took 2 photos with Mr. Budi Ashari at the mosque at three o’clock that Sunday afternoon. Then I prayed at the mosque and I went home with my mother at four o’clock that Sunday afternoon. I have been grateful because I had the opportunity to take a photo with Mr. Budi Ashari, the host of Khalifah Trans 7 and I loved watching his hosting performance on the KHALIFAH program on Trans 7 every Sunday morning. His face was as same as his face when he was filming on Khalifah Trans 7 program. In fact, his clothes was as same as the clothes when he worked at Trans 7 and in Depok when I checked on social media a few weeks before meeting him at that time.

I have been grateful that God has given me opportunity to meet with the presenter of Khalifah Trans 7, Islamic parenting expert and Islamic history expert, Mr. Budi Ashari that Sunday afternoon. Then I was very enthusiastic to be able to look at my photo with him on my Android phone and I was more motivated to complete several final exams at my private high school in March and April 2017. Although I was slow to hear Mr. Budi Ashari discussing about how to educate the children according to Prophet of Muhammad, I was thrilled to be given the opportunity by God to meet with Islamic parenting expert, Islamic history expert and presenter of Khalifah Trans 7, Mr. Budi Ashari that Sunday afternoon in fourth week of February 2017.
I completed several exams from March to April 2017, and after that, I prepared for the state university entrance exam at a private high school. Although my mood fluctuated, I prepared for the state university entrance exam at a private high school independently. In fact, I had to improve my mood slowly and I watched Khalifah Trans 7 to increase my knowledge of Islamic history, which was delivered by Mr. Budi Ashari every day.
After completing the state university entrance exams at a private university, I have graduated from my private senior high school in May 2017 and I was able to continue my education at a private university to get the bachelor degree in education in the future. Afterwards, I have attended the graduation ceremony at Narita hotel and received the most disciplined student award because I always came to my high school at quarter to six in the morning consistently. Moreover, I was rather motivated because I loved watching Mr. Budi delivering the Islamic history on Khalifah Trans 7 program every Sunday morning.
