Flywheel

In the picture on the left is Jay Austin who works as a car dealer. He is so selfish that lies and over-charges his customers. To get more benefit, Jay teaches his two employees to do the same thing as he does. He and his family are Christian. Every Sunday they go to the church. Actually, he does not really want to go there but his wife, Judie wants him to go. Jay is rude to Julie and ignores their son. Although Jay cheats his customers in order to get more benefit but his life becomes worse. It can be seen by his debts. He cannot repay amount of money he has already owed to the bank.

At night, after he over-charges his reverend, he and Judie have a row. Seeing a religious program in TV, God touch his heart. Immediately, he repents of his mistakes to God. For a few minutes, he prays to God.
 
The following day, he decides to charge his costumers honestly. That's why, his employees quit working. He also pays back the people he ever cheated. His customers become very happy after receiving the money. Unfortunately, one of news discovers his employee's statement that he is not honest car dealer. However, the people who receive back the money from Jay, go to Jay Austin Motor and say it is not completely true. They all say the real fact.

Moral value:
You have to become an honest person and everyone will like you. ^^

Mid-Semester Score




On Monday, I missed Structure class and heard news that Mr. Johanes made students correct our Structure midterm test. When I heard that news, I was worried how my score will be. Actually, Astra had informed me my score before Mr. Johannes gave me back my midterm test but I didn't hear clearly what she said. Then, Mr. Johannes gave my midterm test and I looked my score in the right top corner of the paper, 83.5. It was not too bad. That's why, I was satisfied at first. Few minutes later, I felt little disappointed about the result.
"Why wasn't I able to get ninety?" I asked myself. "Ah, if I hadn't come late when structure midterm-test was held or had studied in the previous night, maybe I would have got better score."
Then, Mr. Johannes showed us our tentative mid-semester score. My score was good enough but I will not stop to achieve better score later. I have a target to get ninety or more. I hope I will be able to study in the previous night before final test.

New Activity


 


There are no new activities actually I have tried recently. Exactly, I do my old activity that I ever did when I was in elementary school.
As an added information, I ever learned piano for about ten years; however, I did not want to continue learning piano anymore when I went into senior high school. At that time, I thought to focus to my school lessons in order to enter medical faculty. Unfortunately, I could not go into the university that I wanted

In short, I entered English Department in Widya Mandala University. Recently, I begin being interested to music again. I want to learn more about piano. I regret not to spend my time well to learn music for three years. If I had kept learning piano when I was in senior high school, perhaps I would have been a senior pianist now. However, the time keeps flying on and I cannot go backward. The most important thing I have to think now is how I use my time well to do something useful that I will never regret in the future.

Since last January, I've already got more lessons about music. I learn from my brother. He can be called a senior pianist. I practice piano two or three times a week. I learn a lot of songs especially religious songs because in my church, I am asked to play keyboard for religious service.
