DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 92: NEW STUDENT
"Jsaaaap ....... Grac!!! Lencang ....... Grac!!! Agaaaap ....... Grac!!! Rest in tempaaaat ....... Grac!!! "
So the cue given by the regulator in the middle of the school field. The organizer of the line is the board of OSIS National High School. Very firm and convincing. Although most of these disciples were white-skinned and narrow-eyed, but for country-defense activities they were reliable. That's all because at the inauguration of the OSIS board, they are required to follow basic leadership exercises or so-called by LDK students. In this basic leadership exercise, the prospective leaders in the OSIS organization are trained by the army with military training. Usually the activities are carried out in the TNI barracks in Bantir Sumowono. Not only were they trained to line up, but they were also trained physically and mentally thoroughly. Includes "Night Scream" activities that must go into a grave that is pitch-black.
So no wonder, if now, when doing Student Orientation Period activities, guiding his new underclassmen, the managers of OSIS really look very professional.
Like that morning. A blue-and-white army of sixty disciples, already lined up in the field, led by his seniors dressed in gray-white clothes. The freshly entered students were still wearing Junior High School uniforms. Following the Student Orientation Period arranged by the managers of OSIS. Of course it is equipped with a variety of interesting accessories. On his neck hung his name and group. Nameplate made of used cardboard with a size of fifteen times thirty centimeters. Then given a rope from raffia as a hanger. On the front of the used cardboard at the top is written the name of each student. While under the name of the group, there is the Nusa group, the Nation group, the Bhinneka group, and the Nusantara group. Each color group is different. The colors are very interesting.
Not just name boards. But the hair looks unique too. For girls, the rambunya is pigtailed to five, tied using a ribbon of different colors. There are red, white, green, blue and yellow. He said the five pigtails with five ribbon colors symbolize the precepts in Pancasila. Looks very interesting. While the male is only pigtailed one on the front hair. The tie uses a red and white color band. It symbolizes the flag of Indonesia. Something strange happened to the male student. Because there is a very short hair, like a shaved finish. Of course it can't be pigmented. So the disciple tied the red and white ribbon to a haircut taken from the barber's place, then the haircut that had been tied with the red and white ribbon was insolated on his head. Sure looks funny. But that's creativity.
At the bottom, on his feet there is something even stranger. The new students, both male and female, were all wearing long socks, just like soccer players' socks. But what is interesting is the use of socks between the right foot and the left foot is different. Each group has a different color. The Nusa group wore black right socks, while the left foot wore white. Group of Nations, the right leg is yellow, and the left leg is red. The right Bhinneka group wore black socks and the left yellow ones. And the right-footed Nusantara group wore red socks, and the left one was white. In fact, it also requires students to think creatively. Each child should not buy socks two pairs of different colors. But can be together, later exchange with another friend. It also teaches teamwork.
"Jsaaaap ....... Grac!!! Three steps side kanaaaaaan ....... Grac!!! Straighten it!!!" from the leader of the line.
The other officer checked the new student line. Of course to tidy up the rows and check the completeness of attributes worn by MOS participants. And just then, one of the seniors discovered something was amiss. He saw the boy whose head had been shaved. When viewed from behind, the senior had expected, surely the child could not pigtail his hair. He immediately patted the boy's shoulder.
"Heh, you ...! Go ...!" snapped senior.
Without seeing which senior told him to. the boy immediately advanced to the front of the line. He was told to face his friends.
Of course the intention of his senior was to want to punish the disciple who did not obey the order. But the senior who told him to go forward was shocked when the boy who was told to come forward, who was thought not to have pinched his hair because he was bald, turned out to be wearing pigtails.
As well as the senior was directly approached by his younger class who was told to go forward. Then he watched carefully. The child had put a ribbon on the haircut, and then attached to his head that was given a solation.
"Great ...! You are amazing ...!" said the senior.
The student who was told to come forward was silent. Without any expression. Stand straight like a statue.
Then the senior faced the MOS participant line, then his voice was heard.
"Who knows the fault of your friend whom I am telling you to come forward ...!!!" it was to the juniors.
"Let's see your friend standing in front of this ...! Look closely ...! What is your friend's fault this ...!!" snarl that senior again.
"Annu .... That .... Her hair was bald, but she could wear pigtails ..." Suddenly one of her male friends let out a picture of her friend's mistake.
"Yes, right ...! You all have to be observant to observe something. You have to be smart and think logically. Don't be fooled!" said the senior while pointing his finger at his juniors.
Meanwhile, the one who was told to stand in front, must have been worried about receiving punishment.
"Why are you wearing fake pigtails ...?!!" ask the senior to the child who has been struggling.
"Because of my hair being bald, I can't possibly pigtail my hair." replied the junior who stood in fear.
"Where did you get this hair ...?!" asked her senior again, and had already taken the fake hair pigtail.
"Seek at the hairdresser." replied his junior.
"Good ...! Please pay attention to all ...! We must be independent .... We have to be creative .... Can overcome all problems and make use of what is in the environment for our benefit. For example, this is your friend. Although he does not have hair because it is bald, but he can face problems when he has to wear pigtails. This is an example of a smart and creative child. Give a round of applause to your friend this ...!" said the senior who turned out not to give punishment, but instead gave praise. That's an example of a good driver.
"Plok ..., plok ..., plok ..., plok ... "a standing ovation echoed in the field.
Student Orientation Period activities continue. And of course the new students follow the whole activity. Of course, there are those who feel happy with various activities that are fun and give new experiences in their lives. Still not a few students are afraid of being yelled at by their seniors. But in fact, it is all to build the mental learners who are new to the school environment.
As well as Melian, who from the village had hoped to go to school in the city, then he really enjoyed every activity done. His senior orders were done with pleasure. Without fear and doubt. Even when sanctioned for having to water existing flower plants in his school environment, one compact group performs together in a unique way. That is marching for a relay to take water using a dipper. Because by seniors only given one dipper, but must work together in watering the flowers in the school yard.
Such things are actually accepted with a spacious heart, it gives the experience of science that is sometimes not obtained from the lessons in the classroom described by the teacher. Melian is so happy to have such a compact friend.
Actually with the activities of the Shiva Orientation Period, for new students it is very useful to build the character of children. At least they will wake up mentally, to be tough and steadfast in facing various challenges. Think critically and quickly in making decisions and actions. Tolerance and working with friends, which will certainly facilitate all problems. Clearly, there are many benefits. But sometimes, seniors actually do the opportunity to give a gojlokan that is often excessive and not educational. This leads to a grudge between the senior and junior. That is what is often a stain in the acceptance of new students.
