MY JOURNEY

Apreciation for teacher and educator early childhood education and community education held in Palu West Sulawesi at May, 22nd - 28th 2016 organized by Ministry of Education and culture Republic Indonesia. This apreciation gave for the teacher and educator each province with best achievement in non formal education. They were selected by their province. The competition consist of 16 categorries and one of them is Pamong Belajar at Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar (SKB).

My journey started from the selection ot distric Banjar. I had presented about my best practice based on IT. Yup, thats the theme for pamong belajar category, " teaching activity based on Information Technology ". After the selection of distric Banjar, I have to follow the selection of Province. Actually, my intention from this even just for sharing and meeting with another pamong belajar in South Kalimantan. Just for sharing... not more!!! But maybe this is my luck, I through this selection and have to continue for the national level.

Before going to national event, the participant each province have follow training center. So do I. There was three times training center. It's about 12 days. Our manuscript guided by the lecture and we have to learn poco - poco dance and choir also, sing a song about teacher and educator childhood education and community education.

Finally, at 22nd May 2016 19.00 PM we arrived at Mutiara SIS Al Jufri Airport, Palu West Sulawesi. My first impression from this town is so beautiful, the airport so clean and surrounding by mountains. The city quite enough. I feel homy and relax at this town. The participant divided into 4 hotels, there were Sutan Raja Hotel, Santika Hotel, Mercure Hotel and Swiss Bell Hotel. I was with Mrs.Uwai (Penilik PAUDNI), we were at Swiss Bell Hotel. It was beautiful hotel, with beach background. The committee so nice, we had full serviced. Even when I was had a problem.. my manuscript gone. They were tried so hard to find my sricpt. Finally, my script found at Santika Hotel. Alhamdulillah...

The selection started with psychology test, and in the afternoon we were going to opening celebration in the governor office. We had carnaval, each province showed their culture. The events opened by the Governor of West Sulawesi. The next day we have to presentated our script. My turned number 12th, so it was about 2 pm. Actually I have no worry, it will be win or not, once again my intention just for share information about our best practice between all over pamong belajar in Indonesia. So... I presentated with " Nothing to lose " feeling. Even when I was faced problem (again) when my slide didn't work... (Oh my god..). It was memorable moment in my life. I had learned many things from another participant. What they did for solve their problem in teaching activity. All their creation was so good, so amazing, what creative you are guys...!!!

At 4th day, it was poco - poco dance and choir competition. All province performanced their creation and their culture. So amazing... So rich Indonesia with the culture.
Closed ceremony held at 5th day, closed by the minister of education and culture Republik Indonesia, Anies Baswedan and announcement for the winner each category at once.

And finally, announcement for pamong belajar category. I just text massage for my friend at BBM, So I didn't hear when the announcer told about the 1st winner. Until my friend beside me told that I was the winner... Oh my God, this is real or just dream... I still silent, amazed with this moment... and my tear suddenly falled. Alhamdulillah ya Rabb... Maybe this my destiny. I still amazed until the committee ask me to go to stage for the trophy..
The winner got trophy, medallion and prizes. It was honor for me. I could scent my province at the National Event, which is noone before.

Alhamdulillah, until right now I still don't believe that I won this competition. Maybe this is my destiny, I try to convience my self.
