My Experience in SMAGA (SMAN 3 Blitar)

Hello Netizen,

   Hello guys, my friends, who read this article I'm sorry if it doesn't important for you, I just writing this article to complete my task.

   Do you know about SMAN 3 Blitar, yeah, maybe many people don't know it, it isn't popular school, but it's my favourite school. I still studying here for 1,5 years, it still a long time for graduation. I'm join in 2 extracurricular in this school, that is PMR (Palang Merah Remaja) and PSHT (Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate). My School's Dies Natalies every 17th December, and know, count down in 17 days left. In Dies Natalies 2014 (18th) my school has invited Billfold and it's very good and very a rousing. The Ticket Sold out, but there was many man who want to watch it, until crowded heard arround a few hundred meters. Until it fell some victims. But know it still messed opinion between "Netral" and "Vierra".

   What's I love in this school is how teachers teaching. It's easy to get in the brain, but what I don't like is the 10th grader who act as they want. Don't know ethics and manner. Leaving bad stories for our school. Such as what have left, the student who bumping people in the school and out of school. That causing students who must to leading motorcycle into parking lot.

About the teachers, I think all teachers are good and excellent. Although every students maybe dislike some teachers. In how their teaching or how their character to developt their students.

That's my story in SMAGA, I'm sorry if it containing something unpleasant, I'm sorry. Thank's for reading my post, I hope it can be accepted. Wa billahi taufik wal hidayah, Assalamu Alaikum Wr. Wb.
