Friendship is everlasting ♥

Simply Incredible  
Polo Family

In the 2009-2010 academic years, I entered into 8B class. Many of my seventh grade friends were in the other classes. We were separated one by one, even though there were some of my 7C friends still be my classmate in 8B class. It was a new class for me. We started to know each other, introduced ourselves. Ms. Adhy was my homeroom teacher. She was very talented in art. She was also an architect. Every morning, we started our school with reading our bible, sharing about our problems. Every Wednesday, we had devotion. Every class has to cooperate and serve this devotion based on the fix Gloria school’s schedule. I had a very perfect class.

Eight.b's homeroom teacher

We had Ezra, who was expert in playing a drum. He could know exactly the beat and modify that into a nice song. We had Candys, Sisca and me who could play a piano. And I also could play violin and drum, too. Jessica and Fenny had nice voice. Eight B had some boys who could play basses and guitars very well. They were Ferry and Greg. It was amazing! We had a completely band and class. This perfect class had some students who good at sport, there were Virtue, Sam, Ferry, Willian Johnson, and Candys. They were good at basketball. We had Hadi, Ezra and Virtue whom were very active and they always made our class lively! And also, William Darren and Cliff, they were really genius and diligent. We had a girl called Fenny Sekar Sari or we called sometimes Kembang because In Javanese, flower was called by Sekar. She was very creative. She had long black hair and very smooth.

There were 19 students in our class; it contained 7 girls and 12 boys. This class was full of boys. Eight B students and Ms. Rina chose our friends Samuel Santoso to be our second semester chairman and William Johnson to be our vice chairman of our class. Some boys were very talkative. Every time, we were noisy at class, Sam always shouted loudly so we could keep quietly during the lesson. In my class, the boys were more hyperactive than the girls. It was really funny. Hahaha.. Some boys were very under controlled. They acted as like as what they wanted to do and never think of anybody else. Because of that, many teachers complained about my class, because my class was the noisiest class in level 8.

Why my class was called as Polo family? I wanted to tell you about the history of Polo family. One day, it was Thursday and there was an economic subject after the Geography. Usually, we had the Economic before the second recess, so our teaching and learning time won’t be cut by the recess. And at that time, the teachers inform us to skip the second recess; so that the boys were not in the mood. Then they did as like as they want. The boys were always busy in talking. While that, I didn’t know what they were talking about. Actually, they were talking about the history of Marco Polo and writing down on the paper. Until the teacher, Miss. Vicka, knew and took the paper. However, they still kept talking of Polo. Marco Polo likes adventure, so the boys informed us to be named to our class with POLO Family.

8B VS 7B - go back to door

In 18^th of August 2009, we, Polo Family fight until won the champion. Gloria Junior High School celebrated the Independent’s day of Indonesia with some competition. And eight B won all of them. 2 competitions which we won in the first place and the other competition we won in the second place. Isn’t that amazing? I was very proud of my class. We always compact and we had Ms. Adhy who supported us every time and never let us down. Last year, on October we had a traditional Indonesian day which is called”Youth Congress” or also we called if “Sumpah Pemuda “where we had to use traditional Indonesian costume. I was very shy, but we had to be confident because we had prepared this for one month before, it was an enough time for preparation. We made a yell –yell for our class. We also choose our smart students such as Cliff and William Darren to be our class volunteers for the Quick and Smart Competition.

Ms. Adhy taught us how to draw and imagine what you wanted to draw. Every student who had their birthday, Ms. Adhy would give them a Silver Queen chocolate. But it was ended by the first semester. She had to leave us, because she had to move to her new house to the west area. She wasn’t teaching us anymore, she would be an architect. We were very sad. We have our last Christmas Celebration 2009 with Ms. Adhy. We ate together and watched Madagascar movie at school. The last day, she said goodbye to us. But, we could contact to her. She said that we shouldn’t be sad and crying, because she would always contact us and never forget our POLO Family class.

Ms. Chatarina Rinanti

And in the first month of year 2010, her place was replaced by Ms. Rina. She was the one who would be our second homeroom teacher. Ms. Rina was also our new Indonesian teacher, she helped Ms. Tiwi in teaching eight grade Indonesian subjects. She was a new teacher, but she loved us as Ms. Adhy loved us. Ms. Rina was a very patient homeroom teacher. On 4^th of February 2010, Polo family decided to give a surprised for Ms. Rina’s birthday. Ms. Rina was panic because why we hadn’t come yet to the class. She looked for us anywhere, while we were preparing the birthday cake at the canteen. And suddenly we sang Happy Birthday to Ms. Rina. She was 24 years old now. We were very glad that Ms. Rina wasn’t angry to us. Ms. Rina had done the best for us and as her students, we thanked to her by celebrating her birthday.

I learnt many things about Jesus, education, and also music that taught by Mr. Dicky. We were Polo Family, which always supported each other. It was our courage. On the end of June, the school education had over. It was the time to know my study report during the second grade. And I was the one of the five best students in my class, who got good mark in every subject. I really thanked to God that I could pass it on without any bad mark from the twelve subjects. I had my school holiday starting on 15^th of June up to 13th of July 2010. While the time had passed so fast until we went to the next grade. We were separated each other. There were three classes for the last grade in junior high school. And we still made a small reunion. We had our first reunion on 30^th of July 2010 at classroom. We met each other and shared about our new class. I had many experiences in my life with my POLO family and I would always love POLO family. Eight B was the best class in my life ever after! Because of the 8 grade, I had learnt many things from my homeroom teacher and my classmates. And POLO family would always be forever and ever; staying deeply in my soul.
