Ketika kesibukan berloncatan dan mengambil semua cerita yang hendak disampaikan. Ah lelah ini menjadi semakin menggerus rasa dan menggerogoti belulang yang kian menua. Apalah kata yang hendak dirangkai jika berhamburan hilang terbang tertiup angin yang melelahkan raga.
lalu aku pun berjalan terseok mengumpulkan satu persatu kisah yang terserak tertiup angin. Lalu menjaringnya dalam satuan pola dari namanya cerita. Jika aku ini adalah benang maka cerita yang tercampakkan adalah jarum yang mampu menyatukan setiap memori yang tercerai dalam selingan masa.

NARRATIVE
Purpose: To amuse/entertain the readers and to tell a story
Generic Structure:
1. Orientation
2. Complication
3. Resolution
4. Reorientation
Dominant Language Features:
1. Using Past Tense

2. Using action verb
3. Using adjectives
Narrative and recount in some ways are similar. Both are telling something in the past so narrative and recount usually apply PAST TENSE; whether Simple Past Tense, Simple Past Continuous Tense, or Past Perfect Tense. The ways narrative and recount told are in chronological order using time or place. Commonly narrative text is found in story book; myth, fable, folklore, etc while recount text is found in biography.
The thing that makes narrative and recount different is the structure in which they are constructed. Narrative uses conflicts among the participants whether natural conflict, social conflict or psychological conflict. In some ways narrative text combines all these conflicts. In the contrary, we do not find these conflicts inside recount text. Recount applies series of event as the basic structure

Sekelumit kisah dari tidur panjang
Ah...akhirnya kembali lagi dengan aktifitas menulis ya. Sudah lama sekali tidak bersentuhan dengan blog dan blogging. Rindu sangat. Ada banyak cerita yang tersimpan. Ada begitu banyak kisah yang hendak diceritakan. Ada begitu banyak pengalaman yang hendak di bagikan. Tentu saja tentang dunia pendidikan yang aku geluti. Meskipun sudah empat tahun ini aku berhenti dari dunia sekolah namun masih berkutat dengan dunia pendidikan.
Aku memutuskan untuk membuka rumah belajar duan tahun yang lalu. Jika ditanya, apa alasannya? Alasannya nekat dan tidak ada pekerjaan yang sesuai dengan jiwa petualangku yang ternyata tanpa aku sadari sangat mencitai dunia pendidikan. Akhirnya 1 November 2016 soft opening dari rumah belajar. Murid pertamaku dua orang siswa calistung. Yes CALISTUNG, sebuah dunia baru yang tidak terpikirkan olehku ketika berencana untuk memulai dunia ini. Yang terbersit dibenakku hanya Bahsa Inggris dan Matematika saja. Namun ternyata pasar menawarkan pilihan yang berbeda.
Aku memulai bisnis ini dari nol. Sungguh NOL. Semua proses awal aku temui dengan tak terkira. Aku meraba semuanya dnegan sangat hati-hati. Aku mencari celah dimana aku dapat berpegang dan memahami pangsa pasar yang tengah menggeliat di insustri ini. Calistung. Kelas anak-anak yang hendak masuk sekolah Dasar. Dimana sangat dibutuhkan kesabaran extra. Dari guru yang cumam satu dibantu dengan patrner kerja yang sedikit demi sedikit kelas kami bertambah menjadi 4 orang lalu kemudian 6 orang siswa Calistung. Sejak awal, keals ini aku putuskan hanya dua siswa untuk satu guru. Biaya mungkin akan terlihat menjadi relatif mahal karena almost jadi private namu perkembangan anak sangat aku perhatikan. Kami tidak hanya mengajar materi yang ditargetkan akan tetapi belajar hal-hal baru yang berdasarkan dengan perkembangan psikologi anak. Kami tidak ada satu pun yang lulusan psikologi memang aku hanya mengggunakan pengalaman mengajarku disekolah selama 8 tahun dan menerapkan nilai-nilai dengan gaya rumah belajar. Kami menerapkan pembelajaran berdasarkan kebutuhan siswa. Kami memperdalam pemahaman konsep yang detail terlebih dahulu lalu kemudaina menerapkan aturan yang diberlakukan sehingga ketika pemahaman konsep benar maka kami yakin akan lebih mudah buat anak-anak untuk menrapkan semua aturan dan tuntutan dari materi sekolah mereka.
Dua tahun perjalanan kami. Masih harus belajar lagi hari lepas hari. Masih berlum lagi legal karena tidak mudah mengerjakan segalanya sendiri. Partner kerjaku memutuskan untuk mundur 6 bulan setelah kammi buka karena kesibakan yang menghantuinya. Aku mengelola dan mengerjakan segalanya sendiri. Hal yang paling sulit untuk aku kerjakan hingga hari ini adalah membuat konsep kerja dari kebudayaan dan keberagaman cara didik dirumah dan pola asuh mereka sehingga kami kesulitan untuk menentukan pola didik yang akan mereka lewati dari tahap yang mana.
Banyak pelajaran yang aku temui sehingga menumbuhkan keingintahuan yang lebihh lagi tentang psikologi anak. Kelak, suatu hari nanti aku akan mengejar mimpi ini hingga aku raih dan genggam di tangan.
Masih banyak yang harus aku persiapkan untuk menjadi legal. Satu persatu administrasi harus aku lengkapi. Yang paling sulit untuk di lengkapi adalah materi pembelajaran. Hal ini dikarenakan sifat kelas kami yang lebih kepada learning based on students's needs yang membuat kami kesulitan menentukan modul mana yang akan kami gunakan. Ada begitu banyak materi yang sudah aku koleksi hanya saja belum jug amampu aku jadikan satu materi yang matang untuk digunakan dalam kelas kami. Semoga tahun ini kami sudah mampu mengerjakan semua dan legal dalam segala hal.

Fable
1. The Tiger Who Would Be King
One morning the tiger woke up in the jungle and told his mate that he was king of beasts.
"Leo, the lion, is king of beasts," she said.
"We need a change," said the tiger. "The creatures are crying for a change."
The tigress listened but she could hear no crying, except that of her cubs.
"I'll be king of beasts by the time the moon rises," said the tiger. "It will be a yellow moon with black stripes, in my honour."
"Oh sure," said the tigress as she went to look after her young, one of whom, a male, very like his father, had got an imaginary thorn in his paw.
The tiger prowled through the jungle till he came to the lion's den. "Come out," he roared," and greet the king of beasts! The king is dead, long live the king!"
Inside the den, the lioness woke her mate. "The king is here to see you," she said.
"What king?" he inquired, sleepily.
"The king of beasts," she said.
"I am the king of beasts," roared Leo and he charged out of the den to defend his crown against the pretender.
It was a terrible fight and it lasted until the setting of the sun. All the animals of the jungle joined in, some taking the side of the tiger and others the side of the lion. Every creature from the aardvark to the zebra took part in the struggle to overthrow the lion or to repulse the tiger, and some did not knot know which they were fighting for, and some fought for both, and some fought whoever was nearest and some fought for the sake of fighting.
"What are we fighting for?" someone asked the aardvark.
"The old order," said the aardvark.
"What are we dying for?" someone asked the zebra.
"The new order," said the zebra.
When the moon rose, fevered and gibbous, it shone upon a jungle in which nothing stirred except a macaw and a cockatoo, screaming in horror. All the beasts were dead except the tiger, and his days were numbered and his time was ticking away. He was monarch of all he surveyed, but it didn't seem to mean anything.
2. The Fox and the Crow
A crow, perched in a tree with a piece of cheese in his beak, attracted the eye and nose of a fox. "If you can sing as prettily as you sit," said the fox, "then you are the prettiest singer within my scent and sight." The fox had read somewhere, and somewhere, and somewhere else, that praising the voice of a crow with a cheese in his beak would make him drop the cheese and sing. But this is not what happened to this particular crow in this particular case.
"They say you are sly and they say you are crazy," said the crow, having carefully removed the cheese from his beak with the claws of one foot, "but you must be nearsighted as well. Warblers wear gay hats and colored jackets and bright vest, and they are a dollar a hundred. I wear black and I am unique.
"I am sure you are," said the fox, who was neither crazy nor nearsighted, but sly. "I recognize you, now that I look more closely, as the most famed and talented of all birds, and I fain would hear you tell about yourself, but I am hungry and must go."
"Tarry awhile," said the crow quickly, "and share my lunch with me." Whereupon he tossed the cunning fox the lion's share of the cheese, and began to tell about himself. "A ship that sails without a crow's nest sails to doom," he said. "Bars may come and bars may go, but crow bars last forever. I am the pioneer of flight, I am the map maker. Last, but never least, my flight is known to scientists and engineers, geometricians, and scholar, as the shortest distance between two points. Any two points," he concluded arrogantly.
"Oh, every two points, I am sure," said the fox. "And thank you for the lion's share of what I know you could not spare." And with this he trotted away into the woods, his appetite appeased, leaving the hungry crow perched forlornly in the tree.
3. The Wolf and the Dog
Once there was a wolf who was nearly dead with hunger. He was very thin, so that the outline of his bones could be seen clearly beneath his thinning coat of hair. With hardly enough energy to walk, the wolf had little hope of finding food. As he lay beneath a large tree, a dog out for a walk noticed him. Seeing how thin and hungry-looking the wolf was, the dog felt sorry for him and said, "You are in terrible shape! You look as if you haven't eaten for many days."
"You're right," said the wolf. "I haven't eaten because you and your friends are doing such a good job of guarding the sheep. Now I am so weak that I have little hope of finding food. I think I will surely die."
Then why not join us? Asked the dog. "I work regularly and I eat regularly. You could do the same. I will arrange it. You can help me and the other dogs guard the sheep. In that way, we won't have to worry about your stealing the sheep any more and you won't have to worry about going hungry any more. It's a good deal for both of us."
The wolf thought it over for a few minutes and then decided that the dog was right. So they went off together toward the ranch house where the dog lived. But, as they were walking, the wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the dog's neck was very thin. He was curious about this, for the dog had such a beautiful coat every where else. Finally, he asked the dog about it.
"Oh, don't worry about that," said the dog. "It's the place where the collar rubs on my neck when my master chains me up at night."
"Chained up!" cried the wolf, "Do you mean that you are chained up at night? If I come to live with you, will I be chained up at night too?"
That's right," answered the dog. "But, You'll get used to it soon enough. I hardly think about it anymore."
"But, if I am chained up, then I won't be able to walk when I want to take a walk or to run where I want to run," the wolf said. "If I come to live with you, I won't be free anymore." After saying this, the wolf turned and ran away.
"The dog called after the wolf, saying, "Wait! Come back! I may not be able to do everything I want to do, but I'm healthy, well-fed, and I have a warm place to sleep. You are too worried about keeping alive to enjoy life. I'm more free than you are."
4. The Fox and The Cat
One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' she called down to the fox. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.
5. The Lion and The Mouse
Once, as a lion lay sleeping in his den, a naughty little mouse ran up his tail, and onto his back and up his mane and danced and jumped on his head, so that the lion woke up.
lion angry and mouseThe lion grabbed the mouse and, holding him in his large claws, roared in anger. 'How dare you wake me up! Don't you know that I am King of the Beasts? Anyone who disturbs my rest deserves to die! I shall kill you and eat you!'
The terrified mouse, shaking and trembling, begged the lion to let him go. 'Please don't eat me Your Majesty! I did not mean to wake you, it was a mistake. I was only playing. Please let me go - and I promise I will be your friend forever. Who knows but one day I could save your life?'
The lion looked at the tiny mouse and laughed. 'You save my life? What an absurd idea!' he said scornfully. 'But you have made me laugh, and put me into a good mood again, so I shall let you go.' And the lion opened his claws and let the mouse go free.
'Oh thank you, your majesty,' squeaked the mouse, and scurried away as fast as he could.
A few days later the lion was caught in a hunter's snare. Struggle as he might, he couldn't break free and became even more entangled in the net of ropes. He let out a roar of anger that shook the forest. Every animal heard it, including the tiny mouse.
One morning the tiger woke up in the jungle and told his mate that he was king of beasts.
"Leo, the lion, is king of beasts," she said.
"We need a change," said the tiger. "The creatures are crying for a change."
The tigress listened but she could hear no crying, except that of her cubs.
"I'll be king of beasts by the time the moon rises," said the tiger. "It will be a yellow moon with black stripes, in my honour."
"Oh sure," said the tigress as she went to look after her young, one of whom, a male, very like his father, had got an imaginary thorn in his paw.

In that way, we won't have to worry about your stealing the sheep any more and you won't have to worry about going hungry any more. It's a good deal for both of us."
The wolf thought it over for a few minutes and then decided that the dog was right. So they went off together toward the ranch house where the dog lived. But, as they were walking, the wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the dog's neck was very thin. He was curious about this, for the dog had such a beautiful coat every where else. Finally, he asked the dog about it.
"Oh, don't worry about that," said the dog. "It's the place where the collar rubs on my neck when my master chains me up at night."
"Chained up!" cried the wolf, "Do you mean that you are chained up at night? If I come to live with you, will I be chained up at night too?"
That's right," answered the dog. "But, You'll get used to it soon enough. I hardly think about it anymore."
"But, if I am chained up, then I won't be able to walk when I want to take a walk or to run where I want to run," the wolf said. "If I come to live with you, I won't be free anymore." After saying this, the wolf turned and ran away.
"The dog called after the wolf, saying, "Wait! Come back! I may not be able to do everything I want to do, but I'm healthy, well-fed, and I have a warm place to sleep. You are too worried about keeping alive to enjoy life. I'm more free than you are."
4. The Fox and The Cat
One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' she called down to the fox. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.
5. The Lion and The Mouse
Once, as a lion lay sleeping in his den, a naughty little mouse ran up his tail, and onto his back and up his mane and danced and jumped on his head, so that the lion woke up.
lion angry and mouseThe lion grabbed the mouse and, holding him in his large claws, roared in anger. 'How dare you wake me up! Don't you know that I am King of the Beasts? Anyone who disturbs my rest deserves to die! I shall kill you and eat you!'
The terrified mouse, shaking and trembling, begged the lion to let him go. 'Please don't eat me Your Majesty! I did not mean to wake you, it was a mistake. I was only playing. Please let me go - and I promise I will be your friend forever. Who knows but one day I could save your life?'
The lion looked at the tiny mouse and laughed. 'You save my life? What an absurd idea!' he said scornfully. 'But you have made me laugh, and put me into a good mood again, so I shall let you go.' And the lion opened his claws and let the mouse go free.
'Oh thank you, your majesty,' squeaked the mouse, and scurried away as fast as he could.
A few days later the lion was caught in a hunter's snare. Struggle as he might, he couldn't break free and became even more entangled in the net of ropes. He let out a roar of anger that shook the forest. Every animal heard it, including the tiny mouse.
Narrative Text
Pengertian Narrative Text
Disebutkan bahwa A narrative text is an imaginative story to entertain people (teks narasi adalah cerita imaginatif yang bertujuan menghibur orang).
Jika melihat pada kamus bahasa Inggris, secara harfiah narrative bermakna (1) a spoken or written account of connected events; a story. (2) the narrated part of a literary work, as distinct from dialogue. (3) the practice or art of narration.
Cerita Narrative Text
(Narrative bermakna : 1. sebuah cerita baik terucap atau tertulis tentang peristiwa-peristiwa yang berhubungan. 2. bagian yang diceritakan dalam sebuah karya sastra, berbeda dengan dialog. 3. Praktik atau seni bercerita)
Jika disimpulkan, maka sebuah narrative text adalah teks yang berisi sebuah cerita baik tertulis ataupun tidak tertulis dan terdapat rangkaian peristiwa yang saling terhubung.
Generic Structure dari Narrative Text
Bagi sobat yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah tingkat menengah, penjelasan mengenai narrative texts tak usah sulit-sulit ya.. Intinya, narrative text ini mempunyai struktur / susunan seperti di bawah ini :
Orientation : It is about the opening paragraph where the characters of the story are introduced.(berisi pengenalan tokoh, tempat dan waktu terjadinya cerita (siapa atau apa, kapan dan dimana)
Complication : Where the problems in the story developed. (Permasalahan muncul / mulai terjadi dan berkembang)
Resolution : Where the problems in the story is solved. Masalah selesai, --- secara baik "happy ending" ataupun buruk "bad ending".
Kadangkala susunan (generic structure) narrative text bisa berisi: Orientation, Complication, Evaluation, Resolution dan Reorientation. Meski “Evaluation” dan “Reorientation” merupakan optional; bisa ditambahkan dan bisa tidak. Evaluation berisi penilaian/evaluasi terhadap jalannya cerita atau konflik. Sedangkan Reorientation berisi penyimpulan isi akhir cerita.
Jika sudah mahir membuat cerita narrative, susunannya bisa diubah-ubah kok, yang terpenting bagian-bagian di atas masih tetap ada dalam tulisan narrative sobat.
Grammar Used dalam Narrative Text
Grammar (tata bahasa) yang sering muncul dalam membuat narrative text adalah:
Menggunakan tenses "Past", baik simple, past perfect, past continuous, past perfect continuous, atau bisa saja past future continuous.
Ciri Kebahasan Narrative Text
Pada Narrative Text, terdapat beberapa ciri-ciri antara lain sebagai berikut :
Mengunakan Action Verb dalam bentuk Past Tense. Misalnya : Climbed, Turned, Brought, dsb.
Menggunakan Nouns tertentu sebagai kata ganti orang, hewan dan benda tertentu dalam cerita. Misalnya : the king, the queen, dsb.
Menggunakan Adjectives yang membentuk noun phrase. Misalnya : long black hair, two red apples, dsb.
Menggunakan Time Connectives dan Conjunctions untuk mengurutkan kejadian-kejadian. Misalnya : then, before, after, soon, dsb.
Menggunakan Adverbs dan Adverbial Phrase untuk menunjukkan lokasi kejadian atau peristiwa. Misalnya : here, in the mountain, happily ever after, dsb.

Akhirnya Say Good Bye
Tiga tahun itu, kita pikir waktu yang sangat lama untuk di lewatkan. Akan tetapi kenyataan tidak selama itu ternyata. Rasanya hanya sekejap saja berlalu dan salam perpisahan pun harus dan akan terucapkan. Suka ataupun tidak. Mau atau tidak, tetap saja pelukan perpisahan dan salam itu harus diucapkan.
Rasanya baru saja kemarin aku melihat mereka di ruang kelas itu dengan masih menggunakan seragam merah putih dan terheran-heran manakala aku masuk dan memperkenalkan diri dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Rasanya baru kemarin aku mengajari mereka membuat cerita atau belajar membuat sesuatu dan mempresentasikannya. Rasanya baru kemarin juga aku mengajari mereka bagaimana caranya meminta ijin untuk masuk atau pun pergi ke toilet dengan bahasa yang sopan. Rasanya baru kemarin juga aku menceramahi mereka karena kebiasaan mereka menggunakan bahasa yang tidak cukup sopan untuk digunakan pada guru ataupun pada teman-temannya.
Ah..betapa aku masih sulit melepaskan anak-anak yang tanpa sadar membuatku tumbuh bersama mereka. Mereka mengajariku banyak hal dan mengajariku menjadi pribadi yang semakin matang dalam keriuhan yang sangat anak-anak yang entah bagaimana membuatku tertawa atau pun kesalnya hingga ke ubun-ubun. Namun sungguh membuatku rindu dan sulit untuk membuatku tidak menginginkan kembali. Anak-anak yang mengajariku bahasa gaulnya mereka. Anak-anak yang berbagi kisah dan ketidaksukaan mereka terhadap sesuatu. Anak-anak yang dengan polosnya menyatakan kenyaman ataupun malu-malu mengakui dia menyukai siapa. Ah..mereka memiliki sejuta hal yang membuatmu berpikir betapa dunia ini sempurna dengan segalanya. Mereka juga mengajariku melihat kehidupan mereka dengan cara mereka bercerita. Melihat tinngkah mereka yang terbentuk dalam hitungan waktu yang tanpa disadari dilewati dengan keriuhan yang tak mampu dipungkiri.
Apa yang istimewa dengan anak-anak angkatan ini? Apa yang membuat mereka menjadi begitu melekat diingatanku? Angkatan ini mulai masuk tahun 2009. Aku masih dihitung sebagai anak baru di dunia anak baru gede ini. Aku baru mengajar selama 2 tahun. Masih sangat pemula dan masih sangat muda untuk tidak emosi tinggi. Sumpah, menghadapi semua tingkah mereka kadang membuatmu menarik napas dalam dan menghembuskannya lewat telinga. Nah disanalah pembelajarannya. Belajar untuk tidak berteriak dan memarahi dengan cara yang biasa dilakukan orang dewasa lainnya. Aku belajar untuk diam dan menunggu mereka selesai dengan segalanya lalu masuk dengan caraku sendiri untuk memarahi mereka dan dikenal dengan sesi bimbingan konseling ala miss Rie.
Angkatan ini, memiliki banyak ide dan mampu diajak bekerja sama. Kami menjadi tim yang solid dalam banyak even yang diselenggarakan. Ada dua event besar yang sukses kami laksanakan. Meskipun dengan tangis dan omelan namun tetap saja kami berhasil membuat orang-orang yang pada mulanya meremehkan kemampuan dan kegiatan kami tetap saja kami tak ambil peduli. Kami memiliki satu tekad untuk membuat mereka diam dan mengakui betapa kami mampu melakukan dan melaksanakannya. Panitia dari anak-anak RSBI dan di bantu oleh anak-anak regular sehingga bisa berjalan dengan baik. Anak-anak RSBI angkatan ini tidak membuat diri mereka menjadi ekslusif dengan perbedaan kelas mereka. Mereka bisa berbaur dengan baik. Itu yang membuat mereka menyenangkan untuk diajak bekerjasama.
Apa lagi yang membuatku sungguh menyukai mereka? Mereka memiliki orang-orang yang sulit untuk diilupakan. Siapa saja mereka?
Mari kita mulai dengan Dani. Dani yang anak regular tapi pintar, tidak cuma pintar di pelajaran tapi dia juga pintar teriak yang bisa membuat telingamu berdenging. Miss Yiyi…ini Dani. Atau miss Yiyi nie nah aku dicuekin muar banar aku,,hahahaha….dia sulit untuk dilupakan. Dan apa katanya padaku belakangan ini? Miss Yiyi jangan kangenin aku lah…aku ini kan anak baik . Ada juga Said, anak lelaki yang segala tahu tentang hewan dan tumbuhan dan suka memasak. Seharusnya dia masuk ke tata boga dan nantinya bukan restoran atau buka café yang jualan makanan kecil yang bisa dijamin aku akan jadi langganan tetap hehehe. Ada juga sie kecil Reyindri yang suka dandan. Sinta yang suka teriak juga dan cerewetnya itu lo, ampyun. Hmmm siapa lagi ya?? Ada Kika yang suka ngelucu dengan joke yang sumpah pernah bikin aku hampir mati kesedak. Gimana ga, dia meniru Irfan Bahdim di iklan Clear dengan logatnya yang keren abiz and seriously lucu sangat. Ada Yuni yang kalem and kadang ga pede dengan dirinya sendiri. Padahal dia anak yang manis dan cantik, gadis jawa sangat yang suka memintaku sharing tentang bagaimana bersikap. Ada juga Anggri, Christin, Endang, Resa, dan Nadia yang akan duduk mengelilingiku jika aku tiba-tiba ganti profesi jadi guru BK dikelas mereka. Ada juga kelompoknya Rionaldy dan Jopy and the gank, mereka akan punya banyak jawaban dengan segala cara untuk segala hal pertanyaanmu. Ada Ribka and Gina yang tomboy habis, yang tidak pernah mau pakai rok diluar sekolah meski aku teriak-teriak minta mereka pake rok, jawaban mereka apa? Malas miss, ga enak dengan wajah tanpa dosa. Ahahaha padahal pengen banget ngeliat mereka pake dress bunga-bunga gitu ya,,xixixixi aku bisa meliat mereka mending sembunyii dimana atau lari tunggang langgang dari pada aku pakein rok bunga-bunga atau Ribka mengeluarkan tendangan karatenya hihihi. Ada para model yang cantik-cantik dengan gaya mereka yang imut-imut. Sebut saja Widya ndut, Icha, Harrika, Widy Nindi. Ada Rona juga yang sulit dilupakan dengan segala celotehannya. Dan yang paling diingat adalah, “nah lo miss Riri nie. Kaya gitu ah.” xixixi. Dan yang paling terakhir adalah Carolina atau Olin. Yang akan selalu berkata, miss Riri cantik dech kayak aku dan dia paling kesal kalau aku mendahuluinya dengan berkata, Olin cantik dech kaya miss Rie.” Hahahhaaha dia juga senang berceloteh tentang banyak hal dengan percaya diri yang patut dicontoh untuk beberapa hal. Dia tidak malu menjadi dirinya sendiri dengan segala kekurangan dan kelebihannya. Ah kalau mau menceritakan mereka satu-satu akan mampu menghasilkan buku
Bagaimana dengan anak-anak RSBI angkatan ini? Mereka juga adalah bagian terbaik dari perjalananku. Mereka menempati tempat yang tidak terganti dengan caranya sendiri. Seperti kataku sebelumnya, kami adalah tim yang solid jika mengadakan sebuah kegiatan. Kami bisa memiliki ide yang serupa atau saling melengkapi. Kelas RSBI angkatan ini ada tiga kelas dan setiap kelas memiliki orang gila masing-masing di dalamnya. Memasuki setiap kelas dengan segala keriuhannya akan membuatmu terpesona betapa beragamnya mereka. Celotehan yang bisa dihuitung dari yang ga mutu sampai hal-hal yang mutu mereka bisa membuatnya menjadi berwarna.
Tunggu cerita selanjutnya.
