The Colorful Work World
Ch. 21 Ceremony Race

“Considerations, the father of the mother teacher can get together briefly” At one time one of the teachers, Mr. Pineapple. Calling all teachers and staff to gather. I don't know what was planned. Most likely because there are important things that you want to discuss. Will he marry again? as far as I know this Mr. Pineapple is a widower and has children.

Mr. Nanas is one of the teachers who have taught here for quite a long time. Just like me and Mr. Dani. He also teaches TKJ (mapel) subjects. Mr. Pineapple has a fairly sturdy and tall body. His body is also thin but not too thin. His stature was firm and I heard he often punishes wayward students.

Seeing that everyone is present, Mr. Nanas started the conversation “At the moment will be held a ceremony competition like last year. In addition to students, the teacher board and staff of TU are also required to participate in this competition. Is anyone ready?” Mr. Nanas said while paying attention to everyone in the room.

I can only be surprised because I don't know about this at all. I haven't taught in this place in years. A few minutes later, Mr. Pineapple finally pointed at me.

“How about Mr Ray, ready to come along? relax sir, there will be a commission”

“Eh..”

Hearing the commission certainly made me immediately interested in attending this event. Who wants to refuse money, right?

“Alright, I want to come. Who from the teacher?”

Mr. Nanas mentioned anyone who attended this event. Judging from the name, all the staff who participated were on average still young. This is because last year there was a staff who did not have the perfect attitude because his legs were rocking due to tired legs. That's why this time the chosen ceremonial attendant was a young and powerful one.

Although I'm not sure I can be a good ceremonial officer. Just standing up should not be difficult. That's what I thought before I realized the harsh reality. It turns out that perfect attitude is not as easy as I imagined.

After telling the race rules and whatnot. Mr. Nanas will prepare the training ground. We practiced in the afternoon during study hours. That's why if I have teaching hours, I don't have to practice. The students are obliged to continue training every day because they are the stars in this race. I don't always have to come but if I can come along better to encourage the children.

“Pak Ray, busy again? can you accompany the training students today?” said Mr. Nanas when he saw me correcting a student assignment in the teacher room.

“Can sir, in which field is the exercise?”

:SMP pak” field

“Ok. I will go there” I replied while cleaning the goods on my desk and rushed to the field.

Our school is close to another school. Where we teach SMK children and we are related to Junior High School children from the same foundation. Therefore, sometimes we use the field from SMP. Because the field we have is too small so it cannot be maximally used for training. Moreover, our field is also always used as a car park.

The journey to SMP field is not far away. At least about 3 minutes. Not tired of walking from the teacher room to the field.

"Eh sir Ray, come to the ceremony too? " Ask one of the ceremonial officers who was there.

"Yes right, I became the teacher's representative. How's it? Everything smoothly? "

SMP field is quite wide. Roughly hundreds of students could stand together here. Especially with the number of our ceremonial officers, it requires a large field. The existing pole is also up to standard according to Mr. Pineapple. Because it will be dangerous if the height of the pole we usually practice and used during the race is different.

Just like a regular ceremony. There are ceremonial officers, pancasila readings, etc. There are also ceremony participants with several lines. Our training starts after all the participants are ready.

Some of the officers I knew because they were students of the class I taught. That's why I spend time talking to them.

"The ceremony begins" MC the ceremony has begun.

Unlike the usual ceremony, this time all the participants have to carry out their duties perfectly. Even my perfect attitude as a teacher should be the same.

Luckily I wear pantofel shoes. The feet don't hurt too much. But as the ceremony went on, it felt like the feet were getting sore. Especially at the end of the ceremony.

"The ceremony is over, the leader of the troops disbanded his troops. "

After that cue, all the participants took a break for a moment. Some are directly looking for a place to sit, some are chatting first with their friends.

Mr. Nanas immediately took to the field to give a ceremonial assessment this time.

"Officers are good enough, which part of Pancasila is eaten again his steps. The leader of the ceremony was also good. Keep improving all of you. "

Not only officers, Mr. Nanas also gave instructions to the participants of the ceremony. The board of teachers also did not escape from this. I can only smile while receiving correction from him.

We usually do the exercises 2 or 3 times. More than this worry students will be too tired because tomorrow they still have to go to school as usual. They also have to train again tomorrow in order to get better at their abilities.

I also said goodbye to them after a short chat with the students and the teacher council.

Just like the students, I also teach tomorrow as usual. But in the next few days maybe I will also diligently follow the practice of this ceremony. I hope my body doesn't fall from exhaustion.

One afternoon, Mr. Nanas told me to arrange the rehearsal ceremony this afternoon. Even though he had already informed all the contestants present, there still had to be a teacher coming to control them.

Mr. Nanas said he had set up the field for training. How surprised I am, it turns out that the Junior High School field has been used by Junior High School students.

The headmaster also with an annoyed face said "he said today not practice, how the hell? It's not clear" In a cynical tone he said to me. He said it was coordination, why is it like this?

I was quite annoyed with his face and tone of speech. But because he is old and has a high position. I can only smile bitterly and return to the teacher's room.

Rather than being complicated, I chose to practice on the existing field only. Fortunately, despite the incident. The students still remain eager for practice.

Along with the other teachers, I watched them rehearsal. Just like before, I also followed them in training.

But this time no one gave a correction because the Pineapple pack was not present. Mr. Nanas used to be a pascibra officer, which is why he got the task to train the students of this school.

"Don't forget Mr. Ray, tomorrow start the race in the city. Prepare tasks for students. "

"okay, sir. Ready to do"

Race time is at the end of the eye. Because this race lasts all day. I have to prepare assignments for all my classes tomorrow.

We have practiced a lot up to this point. Hopefully we can get the best.

We have a lot to prepare for tomorrow's event. Starting from ensuring the attributes to be worn by students and teachers, to the transportation that students will use.

Some of them use private motorbikes. There are also those who use the car of the teachers and the school car. Most of the girls ask for a car.

Most students use their own motor. Hopefully they are careful on the road when driving. Because young souls like them used to be less vigilant in driving. More concerned with emotion than logic when driving.
