“Untitled”

When I was a child
I was always great
I loved her
And she loved me
And I will never forget all the memories
Of her

You are always in my heart
You are always in my love
You are always in my memories
You are always in my mind

I will never forget you
But I was very naughty to you
And I always hurt your heart, mom…

Every night in my dreams
I always imagine you
And give you my tears
Like a crazy person

If I see a mother walk together with her child
I feel sad and my tears will fall down my face
God, I’m not strong
I’m weak

When she kisses her child
I think…

“I want to be like that child”
“I want to be like that child”
“I want to be like that child”

After ten years
She left me…
…alone
Without her tears
Without her soft heart
Without her beat

My body is like sand in the sea
Always broken if the water touches me

Mom, if you want me to sing a love song
I would sing one for you
You are not alone mom
Because I will always love you
Like the see loves the water

My life is difficult
Because you left me forever

My eyes are very terrible
With tears around my face
It is difficult to think
Because you killed my mind when you left

Do you know my angel…
I’m very miserable without you
I’m very crazy without you
I’m very confused without you
I’m very meaningless without you

Why God?
Why did my mom leave me?
And why did you take my mom?
Why? Why? Why? Why?

“ A story about me”

I think I’m very fussy, dramatic, pretty, loyal, friendly, kind, hilarious, but always cry. I can say that because all my friend and my teachers always tell me that. I have a beautiful name, it is Yuni. My parents gave me that name. 

This is about my school. I am still in school. It is very amazing. I get to study all materials, for example religion, general subjects, and extracurricular. Oh yeah, I can cook and sew, because in grade 10 my teacher gave us two options, cooking or automotive and I chose to cook because I like that. Then in grade 11 I chose sewing because if my dress tears, I can fix it.

This is about my aspirations. I have many aspirations. For example, I want to be a chef. I want to be a chef to make cakes. I want to open a store just for cakes. Later I want to make the store very big and amazing. The price for the cake is medium and it is very delicious and I want to give half of my money to poor people. Maybe now I just can say that “I want” and “I want” but I believe that I can reach my aspirations and my dreams.

This is about my friends and my teacher. What do you think about friendship? I think that friendship is colorful. If I need them, they are always there in bad times and good times. And they feel what I feel. That is my opinion. I have many friends, but I have special friends. Their name is the “7 Keys” Maybe this very strange but they always help me. I love them and I have many teachers. They have different characteristics. They are patient, dramatic, funny, friendly, and silent. But they give me attention and I hope that God always gives them health.

This is about my parents. Parents are very important to you life and my life. They are always meaningful to me. I’m honest that I am very naughty. My mother is always angry with me but I don’t know what she wants. I can just be patient. Actually they want to keep me safe. They are afraid that I’m sick and now I know my parents love me and I can give them thanks for everything.

This is about love. What is the meaning of love? In my opinion love is very strange, bad, hilarious. Maybe sometimes love makes you very happy, but sometimes it can make you broken hearted. Maybe you are very disappointed, but if you keep your love, I believe you cannot get broken hearted. And I always remember and remember what my teacher always told me “be nice”. I like it. If I remember that, I can choose what is better.

And this is about my special friend. He is always in my heart. Maybe now and forever. I hope he can change me. If I talk about him, maybe it will be for a very long time. He has one sister and two brothers. He is very special to me. He likes noodles. He is very strong, hard headed. selfish, he always makes me happy, but now he must go out from the school. I hate him, but I miss him. At the moment he has a girlfriend here. I’m always jealous with her, but I know I’m just a friend to him.  At the school maybe everyday I cry, but my friends are always there  for me. He is afraid of little cats. He like to play football. His aspiration is to be a football player. I hope so, but why does he like to make me cry? I just need him to care about me. But why can’t I forget hiim? He doesn’t love me. He doesn’t care about me. All my friends and my teacher told me he is kind with me if he needs me but I believe that is wrong and they told me that I’m blind because  I never hear what they say. I think that I’m stupid. I just can cry for one person who doesn’t love m and just loves his girlfriend. I can leave him. I pity him, but too much reminds me of him.

And this is finally my story. I hope that I will reach what I want.  I will always love you. Maybe I will wait for you wherever you are. I hope I can do it. And I hope all people love me and love you. And you can get your love. You must “be nice” and please give everyone attention, keep your parents happy. Do anything that is good. Reach your aspirations. And finally, do it yourself and keep your heart safe.

The End.

“Untitled”

In the moment that I’m make a mistake; will you forgive me?

In the moment that I’m sick; will you visit me?

In the moment that I forget you; will you still remember me?

In the moment we are separated; will you still call me just to say “hello”?

In the moment that my name is carved on a gravestone; will you carve my name in your heart?

"Untitled"

This is a short story about my life. I think my life is very perfect. I can feel sad, happy and more importantly I have many friends. I have a special friend. He always makes me happy, although he just gives me a smile, but that makes me happy. I know that is very wrong. I ask my heart “Why do I like him?” Maybe my heart can answer “You love him, you want him, and you need him.” But I think that is fair. Now it’s very different that the past, because  now he is not here at school. I can’t see him. I can’t see his smile. He always asked me “are you ok?” That is just a lie. They always told me that he comes to me if  he needs me. I don’t believe it. I just want him to care about me. He gives me support. Maybe that is all very impossible.  When do I get his heart? Maybe I will be with him forever, although not now. I miss him. He wants to go to Sidoarjo. He must work and I’m afraid that if I don’t get his heart now, then maybe never. You are my motivation. I can’t breathe without your breath. I can’t live without you. I think that I will forget you, but I can’t.

“My Heart is Lost”

I don’t want to hurt you
However this is my honest opinion
I want to be in your heart

I need an answer from you, now
If I am not suitable for you
I want to fly far from you
Far in my loneliness so I can forget you

I hope that you can understand about my loyalty
I hope that you realize my feelings for you
My soul and body is just for you

I hope my love is consistent to save mein your heart
I will always keep your love in my heart

Love

Many people say love is beautiful

But I think  love is painful

Since I feel heart broken

But my feelings about heart break were immediately lost

Because someone came back into my life

Oh… My God

Does he love me?

If  please don’t leave me

Because I really love him

I only want to feel that love is real

*

Love Story

I will love you with all my soul

You are always in my heart

Although you are mean, because you are insane and you are strange

I will always save you name in my heart

I will love him

My heart will be your heart forever

*

My Heart

I know you love me

And I can feel that

I can see you in my heart

You will stay in my heart foever

You know!

You will be in my heart

Love me in your heart, lovely

I know you go on

But… I will wait for you here

Always, always here…

What is the Meaning of Love?

Love is really beautiful

But love sometimes makes me sad

And when I am sad

Love makes me cry

Actually, what’s the meaning of love?

Is love very beautiful?

Or is love crazy?

Why is their love in the world?

Untitled

You are always in my heart

My heart is always with your shadow

You make my day colorful

Without you, the world feels quiet

You left me alone

At that moment I needed you

You know my love must continue

But I will save your name in my heart forever

*

You Own My Heart

In the past, I liked him

In the past, I felt his love

In the past, I loved him

But now I hate him

You never SMSed me

You never understood me

You never cared for me

But why were you always there…

In my heart.

Untitled

My heart is in a lot of pain

You hurt my heart

You left me

You wounded me…

You hung my love…

You killed my love for you.

You never respected me

You never gave me attention

You made me love you

I don’t want to cry because of you…

I want a life without you.

When you walk with your girlfriend,

My heart is hurt

My heart is broken

My love for you is lost

I didn’t want to know about you,

But now and forever I will love you

*

You Are My Best Teacher

In the past, I could not speak English

In the past, I could not understand English

In the past, I was shy…

I was always lazy to study

But now that is all different

I can speak English

I can understand English

I am always confident,

And I always study hard

Thank you, you have taught me

Thank you, you always helped me

Thank you, you were always there for me

*

Throw Away the Tears

I want to be in your life

I want you to be my choice

I always cry because of you

But I want to prove to the world that I hate you

And I can live without you

I try to forget you

I try to forget the memories of you

I can only cry

Because I can’t forget you

Only you can give motivation to me

Only you can make me smile

Only you can give me spirit

But I know that it is all false

*

I Wanted to Close My Eyes

You never realized…

…that I loved you

I always saw your beautiful eyes

That moment you smile, I am happy

However, you are hers

Still there is a ray of hope for me

I want you to be mine

A leader in my life

You are my love

I allow my tears to fall just for you

I always loved you although that love was not for me

You always smiled,  and I smiled

I sacrificed my life for you

And all just to make you happy

You always hurt my heart

But every time, I forgave you

I did it because of what?

It was only because I loved you

I wanted you to love me too

My love for you is sincere.

*

You and Me

You are very hard headed

You are very arrogant

You are very insane

You are very cruel

Why did I love you then and now?

I hope that I can open my eyes,

To look at your heart

They told me…I’m very naughty

I’m very fussy

I’m very friendly

But I’m always faithful

It would be better if you go away from me

I don’t want to see you

I want you to go far from me

Because you just gave me a broken heart.

*

They Love Me

If I’m sad, they are there for me

If I’m happy, they are happy

If I cry, they remove my tears

I love them, but I am confused

But why can he only make me happy

Actually, he was never there for me

But why did my heart say “it’s not his fault”

I can’t lie if I love him

Although all my friends, teachers, my parents are always angry with me

But I need him in my life

Love is Just a Dream

I like him

I love him

I want him

I need him

     I know you love me, why do you always leave me?

     You never believe, but I will never forget you forever

     I believe that we will share a life

Although, you always make me sad, I will make you happy

If you are sad, I will come to you

If you need me, I will give a solution to you

     

I want to close my eyes

     I want to dream of you

     I will love you with all of my soul

I need you, but you don’t care about me

*

You Lie to Me

I’m alone if you leave me

I’m lonely if you are not here with me

I’m sad if you forget about me

I’m angry when you are arrogant around everyone

    

 I know in the past, you would smile at me

    You always told me that you were “fine”

    But I know that is wrong

In the past, together, we always smile, laugh, cry and were happy

But just one thing…

    

 You make me hate you

    You are mean, cruel, and you make me broken hearted

    But although you are mean, I will always keep my heart just for you

Because my heart will be your heart for now and forever

Because my heart will always be yours

My Friends

For now and forever

They are always there in the bad times and good times

They feel what I feel

They come when I am sad, happy, and sick

That's what friends are for

When they are sick, I'm sick

When they are happy, I'm happy

and when they are sad, I'm sad

That is friendship: colorful like a rainbow

If we can't do something one way

We do it another way

Because we always try

There is nothing we can't do

It all depends on us

*

My Parents Are My Life

They are kind

They are always there for me

They give me attention

And they are amazing

They are meaningful to me

They always understsand what I want

They are always in my heart

And they are the most wonderful blessing I have ever had

They are half of my life

If they are not there

I don't think I would be

I can't life without them

I want to be useful just for them

I want to give my love to them

They are always patient

Although I'm naughty

Life Is A Story

Disappointment

Sadness

Happiness

And love

That is the life within ourselves

I believe that if you always try

You will get good results

I believe that if you are confident

You can do anything

I believe that if you are afraid to do something

you will have big problems

Every person I meet that is more clever than me

from them I can learn lessons

There is always love, there is always hate

When you love someone, you always miss them

Maybe you know that

Because that is life.

I Miss Your Heart

In the moment you went to serve

In the moment you went away from me

In that moment I missed you

I believe you..

That you will be faithful

that you will keep my heart

that you will always keep our love

Actually I am afraid of losing you

because we are stretched by to worlds

the distance that separates us is two worlds

but my heart is just for you

I will stay here just waiting for you

I mess when we laugh together

when we walk together

Everything we did together

Me and your family will always wait for you

to come home with a smile on your face.

My Faraway Love 

Two years ago…

You said you would be here

Forever with me my dear…

Beside you I feel no fear

I open my eyes without a tear

I feel comfort

I want to be with you always

Because you are my heart

and without you I cannot laugh

You are my soul

and without you I cannot stand

but two years ago…

You left  me, oh no!

left me without a smile

without words I could say

please…Take my breath

So I can always be with you

and I swear!!

That dieing with you

is better

Than living without you

*

Because of Him

I’m with you now

But I always see his shadow

A man whose eyes are narrow

I fell in love with him though

Since then…

Two hearts are in my life

Disturbing my dreams and my day

Sorrow but somehow

It’s crazy, swinging between two fellows

and you know…

half of my heart is his, now

Yet  I will not let

You take the distance

farther and farther away

You left me without saying good bye

*

L.O.V.E

love….

You are not somebody in front of the door

Standing and taking presents and more

Smiling but his eyes are wicked

Love is not a game

So with it you cannot play

Love is not a star in the sky

Only there in the night

And cannot be reach in anyway

But you are inside the heart

Waiting for someone to pick you up

Feel the sadness and happiness at once

To take the prizes…

To play with the stars in the sky

Smiling without saying anything

And this is the way for you...

...To say everything

*

Language of the Heart

If you are american

you have english to say

even to give the name for things

When you are arabian

you have your own way

To say everything without being shy

every ethnicity has its way

to say the word meant to be said

Different with the world’s languages

Even our heart has its language

To save the ways of expression

Only the one who understands

The language of another’s heart

That is the soulmate of yours

And the one who wants to understand too

manejo Narrative Drama

The manejo 10th grade has been working on narrative text and as a way to spice things up a bit, we turned our narratives into dramas. Everything is completely written and acted by the students. This is Group1's drama. They did a wonderful job! Enjoy and let us know your thoughts.

Above is the speech that one of my students gave at a regional English speech competition. I am really proud of her and I think that the results speak for themselves. She absolutely blew away the competition and left everyone in awe.

"In Our Hands"

On behalf of MAN6 Jombang, I would first like to thank God. I would also like to thank the University leaders and the judges for donating their time to listen to our speeches.

ladies and gentlemen…

Imam Ali karromallahu wajhah once said:

[Arabic Proverb]

“A man is not one who says “here is my father!” a man is the one who says “here I am!”

I will start my speech by posing a question. “What will Indonesia’s legacy be 25 years from today?”. To find the answer to that question, we do not need to look further than this room. The future of Indonesia lies here and its legacy will be written by us. The actions that we take today, the decisions that we make now, will directly effect the Indonesia of tomorrow.

Indonesia is the 4th largest country in the world, a country with a growing economy consisting of over 200 million consumers, and a democracy that is continually expanding. It’s no longer a question of “if” Indonesia will become one of the most important countries in the world, but rather “when” Indonesia will become that country.

It is our generation, the current high school and university students, that will make that decision. If we push ourselves to be the best we can be now, Indonesia will reap those benefits in the near future. If we push ourselves to be the best students; to study everything from religion to mathematics to art, from English to history to music and to see the world beyond our villages, cities, and country we will provide the future Indonesia with citizens that are well rounded with the capacity to lead and to think critically.

If our generation strives for peace, we will see a more peaceful and more prosperous Indonesia. Our generation must continue the work to promote peace, while suppressing hate in order that our children will grow up in a country they can feel safe and be proud of. Instead of fighting with our hands, we will fight inequality with our words; rather than using them to strike, we will use them to build schools, plant seeds, support our friends, and to lift those who cannot lift themselves. We will use our hearts and our minds, instead of our guns and our missiles.

Eventually, Indonesia will be one of the most important and most powerful countries in the world. Though, if we sit back and pass our burdens onto the next generation, it may take 100 years, but If our generation commits itself now, then, in our lifetime, we will see Indonesia become that great country that we know it can be.

When I stare out into this crowd, I see much more than a room full of my peers; I don’t just see students, but I see the future of Indonesia. I see teachers, I see doctors, I see lawyers, I see scientists, I see politicians. I see everything great that Indonesia is now and everything that it can become in the future. I stand before you today, not only as a student from MAN6 Jombang, but as a citizen of Indonesia and an advocate for greatness. If we can all make the decision to be great now, the greatness of Indonesia will soon follow. That I am sure of.

[Arabic Proverb]

“The young men today are the leaders of the future”

Thank you.
