After much deliberation, I finally decided to go back to teaching at SMK. Although there was a heavy feeling of having to give up work in Darka which only lasted for 4 months. This decision I chose is not arbitrary.
Although at the beginning of both workplaces do not dispute this. With the meaning of morning to afternoon in SMK and then later in the evening can teach in Darka. Indeed, if in time definitely met and this may be done in theory.
But my body is not a robot. My body needs rest every day. If morning until afternoon the energy has run out of teaching the children of SMK that is not because. Especially if the night is told to teach students in Darka back. It could be not work, even fall later in the middle of the road
Want people to say whatever, I know my own body best. I know my body and mental state the most. Surely I will not be strong in a day can not play at all or rest if I have to do two jobs like this. Indeed, in terms of income will get an increase because it has two jobs.
But if health and rest time become a bet. More free money but not happy. There may be people who work as entertainment or hobbies. But I haven't reached that stage yet. I was tired and tired while teaching. Want to be twisted like anything, still I still can not make teaching as a hobby or a favorite thing. So it will feel tired when coming home from school.
Indeed, there are times when the student is in good condition and teaching is conducive and good for his teaching. But such things rarely happen. If you are unlucky and all bad things happen while teaching. Can it be said? So I choose to throw one job and focus on the other. Than an unwanted incident. Like I vent stress on students for example. Nauzubillah min dzalik.
The victim is Darka. I learned a lot of lessons in this place. I also get a lot of knowledge, especially about coding. A field I left behind a long time ago. Because if in my office as the last IT more application design sessions. While the creation of the application is simpler by using the application. There's not much new knowledge I get from there.
Unfortunately when I was about to leave the place, the office conditions changed completely and more leads to using openbravo software as a medium for making their applications. Where I still have not mastered the application. It was those moments that made me uncomfortable working there. Especially at this time, the pandemic came to Indonesia.
Before I start teaching. I have to go back to the survey place first. Come to school and meet the people there. As well as taking care of official documents with the principal. Especially about my presence to teach in that place.
Departing on my motorbike, I arrived smoothly to the headmaster's room. From the time I was teaching, there were some changes from the side of the building. Although not significant. I saw also some new faces, but most of them were old face teachers.
At first glance this is good, indicating that there are many teachers who are loyal and do not move to teaching. But I thought, what if all of a sudden all the teachers go to public school because they get a better offer. What will happen to this school? I shiver when I think of a worst-case scenario like that.
Even though I currently only work as a teacher. There was no need to think of complicated things like this. I can only be sure and pray to God that everything will be fine.
“Eh, sir Ray has arrived. Come sir, please come in.”
Mr. Rima, the new principal welcomed me and allowed myself to enter the room. The one who used to hold the school department was my aunt. But he was replaced in recent years.
“How are you, mr Rima?”
We start to get a little stale and then slowly start to talk about the core.
“so this way, Mr. Ray. We have made a schedule. Approximately, you will get 50 hours of teaching. Is father ready? or want to ask for a request for the clock?”
I saw at a glance the schedule that Mr. Rima gave and then said “I am ready sir. There is no special request I have asked for. I leave everything to the principal and also wakasek kurimurir” said with a smile.
Mr. Rima was happy to hear my answer. We began to discuss details about the teaching hours I would receive. Wakasek Curriculum has also been present to the room and discussed it. Coincidentally they were also discussing a homeroom slot that was empty due to the lack of students.
“How about this sir, the teacher is still lacking as a homeroom teacher?”
Mr. Rima looked at me and said “Nih there is Mr. Ray. He's the only one who filled the homeroom. Sir Ray willing not to be a homeroom teacher?”
“I anyway, okay-okay aja”
“Good, catet tuh bu. Mr. Ray willing” Said Mr. Rima to Wakasek Curriculum named Renata's mother.
Ms. Renata and Mr. Rima began to organize the schedule and the homeroom teacher according to the new information they received.
“Alright then Mr. Ray. Welcome back yes to us.”
“Ok sir. Glad to be back”
Finally, my return to this school became official.
