The Great Day
Well, my name is Ash and I am from Indonesia. I live in a small city named Pinrang in South Sulawesi. I have a normal life like other senior high school student. But, today I feel different, it feels like today is my day and I am going to have something amazing at school. As usual, after taking bath I go tom y room and use my school uniform. After that I have my breakfsat with my parents. Suddenly, my father ask me about something.
“Hey Ash, what makes you really happy today ?”
“What do you mean dad ?”
“You look really happy today, is there anything happen ?”
“Not really, I only feel like today is going to be a great day for me”
“Oh, I see. Then finish your breakfast and go to school”
“Sir yes sir”
Then I directly finish my breakfast as my father told me to do, anyway my father is a police officer so yeah he has his own rule for me and of course I couldn’t break it cause he is such a strict man that makes me always feel afraid to stand against him. Well, my mother is jobless but you could say that she is a house wife and she is such a diligent woman that makes the house always looks clean and infects me to be like her. Back to the story, so after having breakfast I directly go to school by using my favorite motorcycle. To be a record, in Indonesia we couldn’t drive vehicle unless we have driving license. However, every city has it’s own rule in terms of traffic regulation and in my city we couldn’t drive vehicle unless we have driving license or we are a senior high school student.
When I arrive at school, as usual I park my motorcycle in the parking lot near by the school. I don’t park my motorcycle at school cause I am a grade ten student or simply you could say I’ve just entered high school and the school can’t provide all of us a parking area inside the school. So, school decides to build another parking area near by school only for grade ten student. You know, it’s great to be a new student, but it’s also hard at the same time cause we need to do tasks in almost every single day. There is no day off for homework and task.
After parking my motorcycle, I go to my class that is located near from the school canteen. Well, today I will study about math, biology, religion and art. So, today I study four kinds of subjects each subject takes time for two hours. After studying for around six hours, finally the religion class is finished and it is break time. Of course, when break time everyone has time for fifteen minutes to have a break. Me myself, when break time comes I go to the canteen cause I tis near from my class and speak to seller for ordering foods.
“Excuse me, madam”
“What could I help you Boy ?”
“Hmmmm, could I have the fried rice please ?”
“Of course, here you go”
“How much it is ?”
“It will be Rp. 2.500”
“Here is the money madam”
“Thank you boy and enjoy your food”
Well, I don’t buy any drink cause my mother always put a bottle of water inside my bag so I don’t need to buy water anymore. I only need to buy the food or snack, but usually I buy food like fried rice or just noodle. Sometimes I don’t buy anything in the canteen cause I’ve already brought food and drink from house and usually when there still a time during the break time I watch funny videos to make me laugh and wait till break time is finish.
The bell is ringing and we all go to our class to study again. So, today I have art as my last subject. As we all know that art is one of the most important aspects in our life. By knowing and having knowledge about art we could understand the beauty of something that is sometimes actually ignored by some people. Today also is the day for us to collect our drawings, well I get a call as the last collector. It is actually terrifying to be the last collector, but as I said I feel like today is going to be a great day for me.
“Last but Not least, Ash come here and collect your drawing”
“Yes ma’am” (While bringing the drawing tom y teacher)
“Hmmm, your drawing is unique”
“Thank you ma’am I really appreciate it”
I am really happy to hear my teacher’s word, I think i tis a compliment from her till, suddenly she shows my drawing to my friends.
“How do you think with this drawing students ?”
After showing my drawing to my friends, the situation is changed 100%. From a silent and boring class to a really noisy class with laughing students.
“Hhhhhh, what’s that ? It looks weird and so funny” said my friend loudly
“Hey students, don’t laugh on this drawing. It may be weird but that’s make it special, none of you even able to make one like this. Cause this is unique and this is an example of a great art”
Hearing my teacher’s word, my friends become silent and give me applauses. Eventually, as I said before. Today is a really great day for me, because I could get compliment from my teacher plus respect from my friends. What a great day.
