Journal 2

As I said before, I took writing class for this semester. I had learned many things in writing class such as kind of nouns, pronouns, sentences, prepositions, adjectives and adverbs. Not only that, I learned how to write my experiences, how to describe someone and the last thing I learned was how to write chronological order on a blog.

So far in this writing class, I got a few difficult things. Such when I wrote "Moments of my life". I got misunderstanding about how to write chronological order. I made many mistakes, so I made many changes on my post. I got difficulties to improve my story. I often careless about the grammar, punctuation, spacing, paragraph and also capital letters. Sometimes I confused about the correct vocabulary too. I think I must more carefull when I put a punctuation, capital letters and I think I must more improve my vocabulary.It is very usefull because maybe someday we can apply it when we write the autobiography of someone. Maybe after we got writing knowledge we can be a writer.

For the writing midterm test, I will prepare my grammar because I think I must improve my grammar and pay more attention about it. Not onlu grammar, I think I must pay attention about paragraph, spacing, capital letters and also punctuation. I hope my writing skills at the midterm test more better than before.

Moments of my life

"Let your past make you better not bitter" - unknown

That must be something happened in someone life who creates that person today.

Hi, I am Laurensia Belansa Endrakarensa. I was born in Surabaya, Indonesia on March 18,1996. There are so many moment on my life that create me today.

In 2002 my mother sent me to the Elementary School in Surabaya. Something happened in that day. Actually, I was a talkative person, but someday when my school celebrated a ceremony I heard one of my friend whispered to my another friend "Do you like Bela? she is very talkative. I do not like her". I am a sensitive person so since that day, I decided to become a quite person. Another bad moment was, when I was on 5 grade I had a teacher of math. Almost everyday I had math class. Unfortunately, almost everyday I came late to school. I could not do anything because my father escorted me when I went to school. He had another activities in the morning and that made me late. Everyday my teachers judge me in front of the class. I really hate it. That was a bad moments of my childhood. Since that day, I hate people who judge somebody without know the reasons.

I continued my study to Junior High School when I was 13 years old. I had bad moments in Junior High School. I became a member of a Junior high school in Surabaya ( I do not want to mention the name) at the began, It was so difficult I could not follow almost all of the subjects. I passed my first grade in Junior High School with standard scores. I tried to learn more when I was on 8 grade. Unfortunately, I did not pass my grade because I had another problem too. Then, I moved to another school. I stayed in 8 grade. I was so unhappy. It became a very difficult moment in my life because I must adapt again. I had much more better scores than before, but I hated the teachers. They were bullying students too much, they did not want to know the reason of someone mistakes then they judge. That made me to become an introvert person, because I thought no one could understand me. I passed my study at Junior High School on June, 2012.

I continued my study in a Vocational High School in July, 2012. I studied culinary there, I was so happy because I love culinary. I love all of the little things of my school. Although sometimes I was tired but I was happy. I felt they more appreciated me. I had a good scores, good teachers and also good friends. It was my high achievement in my life because I got ranked 3 in class for 3 years. I also could did new experience that I did not like before such got closer with my teachers. They were really friendly. 
Then, I passed my Vocational High School on June, 2015. I was very happy, but I had a bad moment in the same month that changed my life. I lost my father because he passed away on June 17, 2015. I was very sad, but life must go on right? I became more stronger than before, I continued my life although it was hard. Now, I become a member of  the English department at Widya Mandala University since August, 2015.

People Around Me

"Humans could not live alone" by Unknown.
Yes, that is right. Humans is social beings. However, we need someone else to help us in every situation. You should have family and friends. Therefore I want to share a description about my family and my friends.

 "Family like branches on a tree we may grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one" by Unknown.
Family is the first place who teach you about this life. Family is the place when you can share everything. Family is the place where you come home.
 
Well family is the important thing in our life. First, I will describe about my whole family.There are 4 people in my family. I have a mother, 1 sister and 1 brother. I am the oldest sister. Actually I had a father but when he was 46 years old last year, he was passed away at 17 June 2015. His height is around 169 cm. When he still alive, he had ideal body. He was a kind person, stubborn and introvert too but if you knew him, he was nice to everyone. His job before he passed away was an employee in a bank. Of course his nationality is Indonesian. 
 
Second, I will describe about my mother. She was the first human I saw when I opened my eyes in this world. A relationship with a mother is divine and all of my childhood memories are either related to my mom or my school. My mother is a single parent, and now she is 45 years old. My mother does not work outside the home. Her job is a housewife. She stays home and takes care of the house. She also raises the kids and cooks everyday. Her height is the same as me, but she is fatter than me. She has short black hair. She is friendly, talkative and stubborn. She seems lonely sometimes. As a single parent I am so proud of her, because she could survive without my father.

I have a sister. She is a student. Now, she sits in 6 grade of elementary school. Her age is 12 this year. My sister has a small body like me but she has a very different face and skin with me. Therefore people will not realize that she is my sister. Her height is around 143 cm and her weight is around 26 kg. She has brown skin and black straight hair. Her hair is short. She is very talkative like my mother.

The last is my little brother. He is a student too. He sits in 4 grade of elementary school, the same school as my sister. His age is 10 this year. My brother has a dark skin and he has different face from me too. He looks like my sister and people always think that they are twin. His height is around 143 cm and his weight is around 33 kg. He is very childish and stubborn.

Here is my photo with my whole family, we took it on December, 2014.
