Education to Build a Better Future

Education is a process to know and learn something around us. Education is really needed by everyone. Without education, our life in this world will be a mess, because people will do everything they want, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. But, with a better education, our knowledge will increase and it can be useful for everyone. Besides, education will also help us to build a good character. Quality of a country mostly depend by its education. If a country has a bad education, that country could left behind from another countries that have a much better education. That's why education is really important.
School is one of a place to get an education. In school, we learn a lot of things such as mathematics, biology, physics, and many more. However, we often forget about the importance of character education. The world doesn't only need people who highly educated, because it won’t guarantee the success of a country. Without character education, people will forget the importance of manners, discipline, honesty, and many more. In the end, it will create a bad generation.
Besides, the weakness of education nowadays is all student must master all of the subjects, whether it’s their field or not. In my opinion, it’s the wrong way of education. Each student has their skills in different fields. They aren’t supposed to learn things they don’t master at, because it will just stressed them out and in the end, they don’t have a chance to develop their real potential. I think it will be better and wiser if you let the students choose their field since a little so they can enjoy to learn them.
So, for myself, the best education is an education that is not only teaches us about theory, but also teaches us more about character building. In addition, the best education is an education that more concern on developing students’ potential, by not forcing them to master all of the subjects that are not their field. I hope Indonesia will fix its education system soon and follows other countries that have succeed.
That's all from me. Sorry if there are some mistakes. Thank you for reading^^

Holiday~

I would like to tell you about my last holiday. It happened 2 months ago. After i got my report card, i and my family decided to have some holiday in Pangandaran! On 24th December 2015, we departed to Pangandaran. We went there by car, so it took almost 12 hours to get there (it could be just 5-8 hours if we went earlier). Well, it was very tiring yet exciting trip, because we had a chance to travelling around West Java. We also stopped in many places to get some meal. We really had a great time!
After arrived at Pangandaran, we got a hotel right away. Fortunately, the hotel located near the Pangandaran Beach. And it just took around 15 minutes to get there by foot. It was 5 p.m. that time and we decided to watch the sunset at 6 p.m. Soon after we checked in, we went to the beach. We spent our time strolling along the coast, playing around with waves, and taking many photos while waiting for the sunset. Not long after that, the sun finally set itself! We looked up to the sky and it really was a beautiful view. I was grateful to be there.
In the next morning, on 25th December 2015, we went to the nature preserve. The location of the nature preserve was also near the hotel. Before we entered, we had to pay for the enterance ticket that cost about Rp.40.000 (i don't really remember it). After we entered the place, the tour guide began to describe the place itself. He also showed us many kinds of natural objects(?) such as cave, stalactite, and many more. There were also a beautiful white-sanded beach. We played happily there.
We went home to Bandung that day. But before that, we went to Batu Karas. Batu Karas was just like a common beach, but it had bigger and higher waves than Pangandaran Beach (there were also a lot of jellyfish). I often spotted some people surfing there. After that, we finally went home to Bandung. We left at 5 p.m and arrived at home safely at 2 a.m.
And then, on 6th January 2016, i and family went for a holiday again to Jakarta to meet our close relatives who live in there. We just stayed for a night, because that time i was sick =))). There were nothing much to do during holiday in home. I always spent my day sketching and painting (obviously). Another things that i usually did were reading novels and watching. I love to watch a cooking show or DIY tutorial. Well, my activity during holidays seemed really boring, but i always enjoyed it :D.
That's all from me, sorry if there's any mistakes (especially my grammar =))). Thank you for reading~
