The Beginning of a Famous Writer
Self Confident Intake

While swinging a step I still thought what was I being summoned to the vice curriculum room?

I went through several classroom doors before heading to the class that was on my schedule today. Children lined up in front of the class while joking, some are still chewing something, maybe he did not have time to eat breakfast before leaving earlier, he said, and there are men who are chasing each other.

So many patterns of behavior of this child.

Yes, I did teach in junior high school, at the age of children stepping on teenagers, it is still not completely independent of the behavior of children.

There are still those who are loyal with child-like attitudes, such as still happy chasing after, still like to complain about a problem to the teacher. Yes, the pattern is still the same behavior as children.

Finally I arrived at the class, I was greeted enthusiastically by children, seeing me who was standing at the door, all seemed to stop with their respective activities and immediately to sit down to their respective places.

After greeting and they answered. The class leader prepares the class members to be ready to receive learning and continue with them praying.

Finished conditioning the class, I immediately greeted him and informed him who was absent today.

"For ananda everything!"

"Buk's morning too!" Reply them in unison.

"Is there anyone who is not present today?" I want to know who is not present.

"Nil buk" they said again simultaneously.

"Alhamdulillah means today we are all given health and can enjoy this day happily. Let's start learning today!" Take me.

Everyone looks busy taking out books and preparing to receive lessons today.

I was still filled with anxiety because of the call, made my concentration a little crumpled, but I tried to neutralize the heart, so as not to interfere with the performance today.

***

The sound of bells rang throughout the classroom signifying the fourth lesson hour had ended, all students and teachers had the opportunity to take a short break.

Twenty minutes is a very valuable time for students and teachers, although it can only be to just cradle the stomach with a snack of cake cake, to continue the teaching and learning process in the next hour. Or just enjoy sitting together while chatting with other teachers.

I who had previously made an appointment with the vice curriculum, immediately headed to the vice curriculum room.

This chest is back beating faster. The look of the face depicts fear, looks a little pale, sometimes I think I want to quickly get to a room that I think is like a hot room. Because I'm always hot cold every time I'm called to the room of the school office.

And sometimes I like to buy time to get to the room. Because of my fear that if bad things will be said by the vice curriculum.

I was so afraid I was called to the room.

I used to be in the morning once only arrived at the office room of the teacher's assembly. The principal came first.

When the first greeting came, the headmaster immediately asked me to come to his room. And he passed into his room, a sign that I should follow him immediately.

Rushing I put the bag on the table and immediately stepped into the headmaster's room while holding the faithful Rey to accompany me where I was.

I just said my greetings and stepped foot into the room.

The headmaster immediately asked me if I was sick.

Yes, like that I every time I enter the room of the headmaster and the representatives, the body trembles and the face pales like a sick person.

Put me in the vice-curriculum room. The deputy is sitting behind his desk.

"Assalamualaikum, sir!" While knocking on the door.

"Greetings, please come in!" Standing up and letting me sit in the chair in front of his desk.

My heart is getting dag dig dug.

"What's up, sir?" I started the conversation.

"Ah yes, I got a report from a child."

Not yet finished the vice curriculum was talking, I'm getting anxious.

I think this heart is going to be broken.

"La-po-ran what sir?"tanyaku.

"Why are you shaking?" Ask the Father.

Yes, the vice president of the curriculum is my parents, and I may be his age, so to us the teachers at this young age he just called the name.

"Sir I'm afraid sir, if you call me here because I'm wrong, you just mentioned there are reports of children, I'm getting anxious sir, if that report is bad news to me, it's like I'm wrong in teaching" I said honestly with how I felt.

"Owh, you take it easy, this is not bad, but good news" he explained.

Instantly my face turned happy, blood seemed to flow back to the side of this face, the initial heartbeat was not good, as if it had stabilized again. The trembling seemed to disappear instantly.

"So how is it, sir? What do children report?" I'm a little curious.

"Children report that they are happy and understand learning with you, and want you to teach in ninth grade." Obviously, my father was serious.

I was surprised by all this. Besides that I am also a little happy, it does not mean I am arrogant and pretentious, at least the assessment of the child is a positive thing that is in me. Means there is an attraction I in teaching that he likes, but I also do not know what it is, it seems I teach just plain.

From the beginning I did ask for the seriousness of the child when I explained, if there is one activity behind, then I will give reprimand and motivation, sometimes also give punishment, if there is one activity behind, like making motivational words about discipline and so on about education, I will give you a few days to do that. Now with the habit of such habits that I apply from the beginning of the semester, until the students all stop from other activities and pay attention when I explain the material, so that every material given they understand well.

And after I explained, I no longer demanded of them like statues that always face forward.

When they do the task, I will be late in their atmosphere, joking, telling stories, already like friends, but there is still a limit and respect each other.

"Actually sir, every time I cross paths with the kid I taught in eighth grade. He said the same thing to me." Honestly, because it is so.

"It's the third year that every eighth-grader you teach, who has gone up to ninth grade, has come here to report that they are happy and want to study with you again. Actually, many of us are liked by students, but I do not think the students you teach are the ones who dare to come here, up to three times the generation.

"The first time students report, three years back, I don't really think about it, it's possible that they're happy to study with you. But this is already the third year and it has been three times also a bunch of students who reported the same to me. That's why I called you."

"I think the report of the child, is a positive assessment for you, for that you have to maintain and make a new breakthrough so that students love us more as teachers." Clearly, the vice curriculum advises.

"Okay sir, accept his advice sir."

I also left the room after being invited. The happy hue was still clearly drawn on this face. This is like a confident intake for me who was insecure and desperate.

It turns out that behind the disappointment there are still successes that we never expected, at least with this recognition I have succeeded in carrying out learning.
