For 15 years I've been going to school, from the kindergarten to the 12th grade of high school and today is the last day of my high school. I spent the last 10 years of it in Santa Laurensia, the school which, for me, is very great and one of the best in Indonesia. Well, most of my friends said that this school sucks, hell, hot (since there's no air-conditioner), and so on. But, for me, who comes from small city like Lampung, I am very grateful to be able to study there.

It is the school that opens my mind and knowledge to the world. I wouldn't have been able to be a critical person, a sensible, and environmentally and socially aware if I were still in Lampung. Maybe, if I hadn't moved to Jakarta, I might have been a typical ignorant teenager who only wants fun instead of hardships and struggles. And it is the real school unlike any other school whom students are easy to miss classes, teachers don't care when their students break rules, relatively easy assignments and tests, and ignorant teachers who don't even care with their class. I mean, Santa Laurensia really makes up my characteristic into the way I am today.

There are lots of things that Santa Laurensia school has that others don't. Like, lack of seniority, study tours (tho other schools start doing it, but we're one of the pioneers :P), projects and experiments, outdoor activities, beautiful trees, vast open-field, and so on.


It really makes me sad to leave this school soon. I'll miss it!!
