On November, we had a Community Service activity which is going to an orphanage. We go to the orphanage for the “Santa for Angel” program (we (santa) give presents to the kids (angels)), and we want to do a bit interview to know more about them and also what they like. I went there with all 10 PIB 1 students and also Mr.Rick. We went to Karunia orphanage. The place is very small and not too good, many of their kids are from NTT.
There, we interview the kids one by one. One of the question was why they think they are special? Some kids was confused answering this question. After that, we took their pictures. They look so happy, and I felt happy too, that time I wish the Santa for Angel program will be succeed, so the kids can got happier because of getting our presents.
After visiting the orphanage, we also helped Mr Rick to make the Santa for Angel cards. We also made a list of the things that the kids need or want. From this activity I can learn to share what I have now to another people that need it.

Beside Basketball and Music, I also participate in Math. The activity that I join for math was the ICAS Math Competition. We were ask to commit to make sure that we really want to join and practice every week. I decided to join but I couldn't join the practice because the practice day was the same with my basketball practice. So, I ask the practice questions to Mr Ranto and do it at home.
On the competition day, I was nervous because I haven't join ICAS before and I was afraid that the questions wouldl be difficult. I prayed to God so I can do it carefully and gave my best to get a good result. I could do the multiple choices well but not the essay.
Even though I couldn't get any medals, but I'm quite happy with my score. I got a Credit and was in top 28% of Year 10 participants in the Region. I hope that I can participate again next year and get a better result.

February 2011 was a month that all Cita Hati students and teachers wait for. It was because on that month, on the 26th, we will have a very big event. The event was a Musical Production titled 'Broken Wings'. This musical production theme was about environment, about a tribe called Aru that respects their nature very much but there's workers trying to destroy their nature.
In this musical production, there were teams participating, like drama, orchestra, dancer, and choir team. This time, I took a part of this musical play by joining the orchestra team. The orchestra contains some types of instruments like keyboards, drum, violin, etc. I was participating as a flute player. The orchestra team were practicing since August 2011 and we're playing about 17 songs overall.
For me, participating in the Broken Wings was a very incredible experience. Even though we must practice almost everyday even in holidays, I enjoyed it because I can improve my flute playing and learn new songs. At first, I taught that we will not finish practicing by February 26th, but I'm so happy that the musical play was done succesfully.
From this activity, I can learn to cooperate well with all of my team member and doing all my best and practice diligently, because what I do will affect all the member of my team. For example, I play the wrong note at a song, it will make the whole song be bad.
This activity was a very good activity because beside it can develop student's talents, it can also encourage other people to respect our nature.

Beside playing basketball, my days are also filled with playing music. I like to listen to songs, especially pop songs, but i prefer to play music instruments than only listening to it.Until now, I can play 2 music instruments, which are piano and flute. I learn piano since I was 4 years old and now I am in Grade 5 Royal (practical) and Grade 6 Royal (theory).
That time, after learning piano until grade 8, i feel that i want to learn a new music instrument. I have two choices that time, either violin or flute. But then, I decided to learn flute, because I love how it sound, and also flute is still a rare instrument in Surabaya. So, starting May 2009, I learn how to play flute from the beginning. The activity that I'd join is playing flute in my church in a small ensemble. From this activity I can learn that serving God can be done in many ways, one of the example is by music :)
