What .....?
This blog is tells about all of the memories when I was in SETC (Sinka Education and Training Centre). There are so many memories that I have got during months here. Specially, when I get opportunity to teach the buddies, I felt so happy, tired, proud, also bring me back to my memories when I was elementary school.
When …..?
The story is begin since I was in 4th semester as a student in STKIP PGRI Pontianak, my friend and I were selected into 20 participants that would learn intensive in English subject. But only 17 of us that could learn in this place and have an opportunity to get experience in teaching process, particularly to teach the buddies. We start to study here since 18th of March and after a month we made program named “SETC Goes to School” as a purpose to introduce us to the school that close to our centre. At 20th April, we visited the elementary school named SDN 11 Singkawang Timur. Unexpectedly, after several days, the student from that school that we have been visited come to our centre they wanted us to teach them about English, the baddies become more, day by day added by another school SD 1 Singkawang Timur. With pleasure we teach them a bit about English.
Where…..?
The located of SETC is at Jl. Raya Singkawang-Bengkayang, Kec. Singkawang Timur this place is close to some elementary school they are SD 11 and SD 1, so it easy for our buddies to came to our centre.
Singkawang is appropriate place with cool weather, fresh, clean and beautiful place because of that I can learn intensively.We got the opportunities to practice that we did not get as usually at Pontianak, for example teach the elementary students, I was so glad at the time. I felt this moment only for one semester, at least 4 months, than I have to back to Pontianak to continue for the next semester at my actual campus.

I am a daughter of Azdil and Alina, I have a brother his name is Nurdiansyah now he study at Universitas Tanjung Pura (UNTAN) we are in the same semester, why is it so? This is a short story about that, my bother and I study in elementary school at the same year, it was because I did not want alone in my home, my mother is a teacher and my father is a entrepreneur, I thought that if my brother go to school there would be nobody at home, than I asked my mother to follow her when she was teaching, I have a funny story when I start to study, at that time, I would cry if my mother was not beside me it because I am a spoiled child and felt ashamed with a new people, but then can adapt and pass to the next grades with the good value. I think that all short story about me when I was in elementary school.

Kartika like to play with her friends every day, its same with the other kids that have a same age with her. When I ask her to tell me the best thing that she got at this place the answer is when she was play with her friends and us. That all because in the end of class we always give them some games.
Why…..?
love to teach them because I can share a bit knowledge with them, I also have a new experience and bring back me to my memory when I was child. I can know all of their character such as quite, shy, naughty, overactive and any else. Some time I felt happy, angry, tired and sad but I rally love you all.
“I love teaching as I love you”
I can not give especial or big thing for you I only can give a little knowledge for you my lovely baddies.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
Knowledge is power so don’t leave it if you have the change to get it.
