My Unforgettable Moment

“OSN Palu 2015”

            Hello, readers!

I would like to tell you about my unforgettable moment. When I was asked to write a story about it, in my mind there’s only OSN Palu 2015. So, please enjoy it.

            For your information, I always like mathematics. I also like to join competitions and olympiads. When I was in grade seven, Alhamdulillah I was chosen to join city level of OSN (National Science Olympiad) after some tough selections against my own friends. I became the first champion and continued to the province level. Unluckily, I failed.

           

            A year later, when I was an eight grader, after some very-tough selections especially against Yahya, I was chosen again. For the city level, I passed it and became the first champion. On the province level, I faced many difficulties. But, I didn’t get hopeless. Alhamdulillah Allah gave me a chance. I passed to the national level. Yeaahh!!!

            National level of OSN 2015 was held in Palu, on 17-23 May. Few days before it, we participated in olympiad training at Wisma PU on Riau Street. It was really fun and it improved our skill. Finally, after this 4 days training, we left Bandung!

            On Sunday, May 17, on 0 AM, we set out to Soekarno-Hatta Airport. After arriving, we departed to Palu. We arrive in Palu in the morning. I was really excited because it was the first time I visited Sulawesi Island. Then we went to the hotel by buses. We, mathematics participants, stayed at Sutan Raja Hotel, a 4-stars hotel. Meanwhile participats of the other sectors stayed at other hotels.

            I’m really greatful. The hotel was so luxurious for me. The room that I shared with Willy, participant from Bangka Belitung, was so comfortable. I also liked the food. It was so delicious and healthy.

            We spent a week there. On the first day, there was an opening ceremony which was legitimated by the governor of Central Sulawesi. There were also many great performance.

            On the second and the third day, we participated in the competition. For me, it was really really difficult. I did my best to answer the questions and prayed to God to give me the best. On the fourth day, we were refreshing. We went to Tanjung Karang Beach. It was really beautiful and made me say “WOWW!!!”. I took some pictures, played banana boat, and had fun. I will never forget about it. What a really awesome experience!

            On Friday, the fifth day, the winners were announced. I was nervous. I really wanted to be the champion. Sadly, I failed. On that moment, I was so sad and I only could take a deep breath. That was the feeling of losing.

          There were also the aliens. The aliens held some water ballons and they tried to throw the ballons to us. We had to give our puzzles to them if we got hit. We could also throw ballons to them and we could get puzzles they brought.

The Great Megantara

          SMAN 3 Bandung proudly presented a culture festival, Megantara.

          Megantara is a culture festival organized by SMAN 3 Bandung. It was held on Saturday, September 10th 2016 at Lapangan Bali. We organize this kind of event annualy, for example Matswapati in 2014 and Gamarvani in 2015. Why culture festival, not art stage? Because SMAN 3 Bandung is trusted by the government to keep our culture everlasting.

          The first agenda was a parade. Students of kindergarten around SMAN 3 Bandung were the participants. They wore unique costumes. After that, there were many others great performance, such as Rempak Kendang Darul Hikam, UKM Bali, Band, Jaipong Kontemporer, Lingkung Seni Sunda, MK, KV, Giri Harja, TST, OSD ITB, SPH Tari Kolaborasi, Karawitan and Fashion Show. There was also Kelompok Paduan Angklung performing their show very well.

          Mayor of Bandung, Ridwan Kamil, came to give his appreciation and opinion about Megantara. He said that Megantara is a good event because it makes people know about their own culture.

          For the last agenda, there were our guest star : The Changcuters and RAN. They performed perfectly and everybody enjoyed their performances.

         Megantara is really amazing. It is because of hardworks and teamworks of all the committees. I hope next year we can organize a better one...

Essay Writing Competition

"Social Media"

By Raihan Fauzan

Source : kerjayuk.com

Hallo!

          Dear readers, my name is Raihan Fauzan. I'm a student of SMAN 3 Bandung, Indonesia. I would like to express my opinion about one of  historical event that is really important : creation of social media, especially about its negative sides.

         

          Now, social media is a primary need of human. People seem can't live without their social media. They use social media to communicate with others, to find information, and even to do their business. But, beside its positive side, I'm sure that social media has negative impacts. What are they? Here I will tell you my opinion about it :

1. Social Media Makes The Users Spend More Money

   Users have to spend their money for the internet. Because if there is no internet, there is no social media. Social media also might make its users spend their money by buying things sold in it althought they don't them.

This kind of impact is really bad. If the users can't control theirselves, they might waste all their money stupidly only for interesting sale they see in social media.

2. Social Media Addiction

   I think now most of people is addicted to social media. People make social media as one of their primary needs, seems like they can't survive without social media. Anywhere they go, anything  they do, and anytime, people must have social media with them.

This is bad. Users of social media shouldn't get addicted. Because if they do, they will waste their time stupidly and deprave their real life.

3. Cyber Crime

   Crime that is done on the internet, in this case social media, is also called cyber crime. Bad guys abuse social media to do bad things. Kidnapping, deception, hacking, smugling, everything is possible to do with social media.

Of course, this problem is really dangerous. Technology is created in order to bring welfare to  human life. It mustn't be used for bad things. Cyber crime will only bring welfare to the doer, and it will harm many people.

4. Social Discrepancy and Privacy Problem

    With social media, anything can be done. Users can post about where they are, what they eat, what they wear, and many other things. I think this is a serious problem. Posts on social media like that will only cause social discrepancy between the wealthy and the unwealthy to occur. Also, people can't keep their privacy if they post something like those.

These 2 problems need to be solved because they contravene ethic and norm of life.

        Honestly, I still need social media everytime. But, I'm trying to reduce my addiction. I'm really concerned about the using of social media in the society. Most of them are still addicted and use social media unwisely.

         Actually, social media has many positive sides if we use it wisely. So, don't use it too long and for bad things. Always remember that social media we use is created in order to bring welfare and goodness.

          That's all from me. I hope my writing can bring advantage for me and for you all readers. Thank you for reading!
