The Colorful Work World
Ch. 25 End of Semester 2

The homeroom teachers work very hard. Some are quick in making reports, but there are also some teachers who take longer than others.

I myself am more relaxed because I do not get the mandate to be a homeroom teacher. That's why I help other teachers who have difficulties.

This activity continues until finally the time of distribution of reports has been in sight.

At this time there is still no pandemic, so the guardians of students can still go to schools in crowds. They come along with their children, or there are also those whose children do not appear the trunk of his nose.

On the day of implementation, we usually have agreed not to clash with the distribution of other school reports. We usually use the same parking lot. If not arranged, later parents will not get enough parking for the event this time.

To avoid parking difficulties, we have determined the difference in the date of distribution of reports. I came faster to school on my favorite bike. Luckily on the road it didn't get stuck so I wasn't late.

Today's activities are actually for me personally nothing at all. Because I'm not a homeroom teacher. So I just help the other teachers to share their reports to each classroom.

Some female teachers need help to bring the report card. Because it is quite heavy to carry a report card for dozens of people. My hands have already felt the weight of the report card pile directly. I'm not alone, some of the TU staff that have time are all on the move to help.

"Sir Ray, please take this to the classroom" one of the female teachers asked me for help.

"Ready mom, this is all, right? "

"Yes, it's all. Just because it's heavy so it's hard to carry it yourself"

We both headed to the classroom. Some of the students' parents entered the room. Some of them are starting to hang out next to them. There are also those who stay alone in the corner. Most of those present were women, but there were also fathers who came alone or with their wives.

"Father and mother parents. Thanks for your presence. To shorten the time, I will announce the achievement of the results of the class… "

More or less that is the opening of all the report card divisions that occur. After the opening, the parents of the disciples were called one by one to come forward and receive their son's report card.

Some have happy faces because the value of their children is good, but there are also those whose faces are sad to see the value of their children. I think it's obvious why anyone has a face like that.

There were also busy and immediately left after receiving the report card. Because even though the report card division is done on Saturday. There are still parents of students who have to work today.

We gathered in the teacher's room after the report card division was completed. The meeting this time was for the closing of the semester this time.

"Thank you for your help this semester, my mom. Hopefully next semester we can get even better, I want to tell you the performance for this semester. "

The headmaster opened the meeting this time as usual. Many things are discussed starting from how well the performance of some teachers. But there are also those who get reprimanded because of their poor performance.

There is also another announcement that the current PSB committee will start running. This New Student Admission is essential for the survival of this school.

If there are no students, how can the school earn? The number of students greatly determines the survival of this institution.

But I feel sad because not all students who enter this school are excellent students. Some students have heretical thoughts that think because he pays for school, can do as he pleases in this school.

More or less it will also happen in community life and also the world of work. There are basic rules to be done. Not doing the rules that have been set can make someone get punished. Both physically, mentally, and legally. For this reason, there are law enforcement agencies such as the police.

Sometimes people can get sorry and change. But there are also those who still repeat the same mistakes over and over again and finally cannot live in society. People like this who usually get the nickname “Community garbage.” Unable to adapt to their environment.  He may have an undiscovered talent.

In this working environment. I've found some teachers who are not good at being. Especially from his student side, many are still lacking in ethics. But fortunately the number of such disciples was less than 20 percent.

We can't round up all the bad-behaved students just because some students are misbehaving. There were still good disciples even though they did not stand out like a brat. Maybe because good disciples usually have the principle of “silence is gold.”

Somehow there are students who do that, maybe the process of finding the identity or wrong education of their parents. Because the most basic education of students is from their parents. Teachers are substitutes for parents at school, but when at home parents should still guide their children to the right path.

After the meeting, it was decided when we would go back to school. Because teachers also need holidays just like their students. Unfortunately, some teachers have been cut off for being PSB committee.

Since I'm not the committee, I can be free to roam around on the holidays this time. Usually me and my family will do a walk out of town. I don't know if this year will be like that.

Grandma was living in Jogja so we could only go there when the long holiday moment arrived. This is because of the busyness of family members. The child has to go to school, while the parents have to earn a living.

Both my parents worked so they couldn't get as far away as they wanted. They have to follow the holidays. I hope we can go to many places and do many things there.

“Pak Ray, how are you? Holidays to Jogja?”

“But do not know sir, insyaallah anyway depart if there is no barrier”

Mr. Dani came to me and talked. Because this moment is more or less the last time we can chat before entering the holiday season. Our return meeting will probably take place next semester.

We talked for a long time about a lot of things. Because we more or less have the same hobby, playing games. But I'm not as big as him because watching movies is more fun for me. When the school was quiet, we split up to go home.

“Assalamualaikum” I give you a greeting while going inside the house.

“Waalaikumsalam” My mother immediately answered the greetings after hearing the outer door of the house open.

At home, I focused on communicating with my parents. Because moments like this are rare. Even though my father asked me to massage his legs, I still have energy because my activities today are not much. I can't wait to see what my first vacation will be like this time. I hope you won't rub your feet every day.

This long vacation is the first time I feel when I have entered the world of work. It is different from when you get it as a student or student. I felt something different about the holidays this time. Maybe because I feel more grown up now? I don't know.

Because it has a lot of time, after finishing chatting with parents. I can focus on doing my hobby this time. Without interference from job demands and others. I don't know why I'm so anti for work on holidays. Is this a good or bad thing? Because as far as I know there are some companies that demand their employees work every day, even though it is Saturday and Sunday.

Most likely if I get a job like that, I won't be able to survive for long. Hopefully I won't deal with such a workplace in the future.
