Lunch After Observation

 After the observation session, we had lunch together with Ma’am Leslie, Sir Clem, Team Thailand, and Team Indonesia.

The lunch was really fun because everyone was already more comfortable with each other, so the conversations became more random and noisy.

We cooked Soto Lamongan and Martabak Mie together. The cooking process was honestly chaotic because some people were seriously cooking while others were just talking, joking around, and tasting the food before it was even finished.

Then Sir Ivan brought halang-halang, and Ma'am Nikki brought spicy chicken, so suddenly there was a lot of food on the table. Everyone immediately got excited, especially when the food started running out quickly because people kept taking more.

While eating, we talked about our observation experience, funny moments in class, cultural differences, and random things that somehow became really funny. Sometimes the whole table laughed because of one random joke.

The spicy chicken from Nikki also became one of the main topics because some people could handle the spice, while others were struggling but still kept eating it.

Overall, the lunch felt really nice and comfortable. It was one of those moments where everyone could relax, eat good food, and just enjoy spending time together.

A Place Far From Home, Yet Full of Home

Gambar
This student teacher exchange program became one of the most meaningful experiences in my journey as a future educator. At first, I thought it would only teach me about classroom management and teaching strategies, but it gave me something much deeper than that. It taught me how to adapt, connect with people, and grow outside of my comfort zone. One of the things I will always remember is the kindness of the people I met throughout the program. From Ma’am Leslie and Sir Clem, who became like my second parents, to our mentors, cooperating teachers, buddies, guards, and even Tatay Edi who safely brought us everywhere, we were surrounded by people who made us feel welcomed and cared for. Being far from home became easier because of them. This experience also made me appreciate my family even more. Even from a distance, their love and support stayed with me every day and became one of my biggest motivations to keep doing my best. My message to future student teachers is to never be afraid ...

Notes from a Girl in Transit

Being transit is so strange. I'm not fully in one place, and not yet in another. I'm just in the middle, carrying memories from where i came from and hopes for where I'm going. Sometimes I feel like being the daughter who has to excel at everything also means becoming the distant daughter… and the absent sister. Like in order to grow, I have to leave. And in order to achieve, I have to miss moments I can never get back. It’s a quiet kind of sacrifice that no one really talks about. But Mama always reminds me of something. She tells me to live fully. To give fully. To experience life fully. And I hold on to that. Because deep down, I know she understands that this distance is not me choosing to love less but it’s me choosing to become more. Because no one is going to hand me my dreams. And no one is going to build the life I want for me. It has to be me. So even when it feels heavy, even when I miss home in ways I can’t explain, I remind myself: this is part of the journey. ...

A Classroom Full of Energy

  My demonstration day with Grade 8 was really fun, but honestly I was super nervous at first. That day, I taught direct and reported speech. Before entering the classroom, I kept thinking about many things because Ma’am Leslie and Sir Isaiah were observing my teaching. I was scared of making mistakes or forgetting my explanation in front of the class. At the beginning of the lesson, I was still nervous while explaining the material. But after a while, I started feeling more relaxed because the students were very active and responsive. I feel relieved when i saw students are smiling and nodding their head.  The Grade 8 students were really talkative and energetic. They kept answering questions, reacting to examples, and talking during discussions. Sometimes the classroom became noisy because everyone wanted to participate at the same time. For the activity, I divided the students into groups and used peer-collaborative assessment. Group 1 had to change direct speech into repor...
