"First" News that Change My Life

I chose Communication major BECAUSE I want to work as an editor, in whatever (but well) media. 

I was glad that I could read newspaper everyday at primary school. I think I started reading newspaper when I was in second grade of Primary School. My father was suscribed to WAWASAN a local evening newspaper based in Central Java. It made me love reading things so much. especially about the world. Every evening after I got the newspaper I read it beside the aquarium, on the floor.

I remember this story when I was in 3rd grade. In September 2001, many days after WTC Bombing in US, the cover headlines were always about that great disaster. Not only the newspaper, I watch the news bout it everyday from the TV. 

One day, when my father were reading the cover of wawasan, I asked him.

Lil Jessy : Daddy, it has been a long time. Why do the headlines of this newspaper are about WTC? America is far away. Why do we keep reading about that?

My Daddy : Of course. You know, many people were dead in this bombing. It's a big phenomenon!

Lil Jessy: Ow. (JUST THAT!)

Last Week of October 2009

I got a Journalism Training for three days in SMPK Kesuma. 

At the same week I was competing for a basketball competition. The second day of training, I even rided my motorcycle in a great speed (not to be done!) right after the training finished. I had a big game to do, with the rival of my school, Smanda at the semifinal.

Blessed, I was safe arriving at home. I Changed my clothes and wore the shoes such in a hurry. 

My Mom said that I had to go with my Daddy if I wanted to be safe. Well, OK, My Daddy is really greater than me in that capability.

We blasted to BM (Bhakti Mulia) Basketball Hall

It was the time schedule of the game!

I didn't know that I'd to be happy or not, I was 30 minutes too early. Well.

The game started and I played since the 1st quarter.

I was a lil bit shocked that I saw my Daddy was standing right at the door. 

I told him to go in, but he didn't want to. I keep continue the game.

When I was running back, he stood inside the hall already. Dunno how he did it, as he did'nt buy the ticket. lol

PERHAPS, it was the first and last time my Daddy watch me play in a game when I was in Junior and Senior High.

And after the game, we watched the game of the boys of my school.

The following day

The 3rd day of training. We had to make a news, and I had to search any interesting news at my school, SMAK Kesuma. But I didn't find any interesting topic of my school. For real.

AHA! I got the idea to interview our girls team captain, Putri.

Here's the result. MY FIRST EVER NEWS!

Tawa dan Tangis SMAK Kesuma di SBL

           

            Dua tim SMAK Kesuma yang terdiri dari tim putra dan putri bertanding di semifinal kompetisi bola basket bertajuk Smansa Basketball League (SBL). Pertandingan tersebut berlangsung Kamis kemarin (29/10) di gedung bola basket Bhakti Mulia Cakranegara. Kedua tim SMAK Kesuma berambisi menggenggam tiket menuju parai final yang gagal mereka raih pada ajang yang sama tahun lalu.

            Tim SMAK Kesuma putri menghadapi lawan berat, yakni SMAN 2 Mataram. Sejak kuarter pertama kedua tim saling mengejar angka. Hingga kuarter kedua, SMAK Kesuma berhasil unggul 5 angka. Melalui permainan yang disiplin, SMAN 2 Mataram mampu menekan permainan SMAK Kesuma sehingga tim juara SBL tahun lalu tersebut mampu mengejar ketertinggalan angka. Namun hal itu tidak belangsung lama. Berkat dukungan yang diberikan penonton sepanjang pertandingan, SMAK Kesuma bangkit dan memperbesar selisih angka dengan SMAN 2 Mataram. Pada kuarter ketiga skor menjadi 40-28 . Di kuarter keempat, SMAK Kesuma tetap konsisten dengan permainannya. Skor akhir 47-35 untuk kemenangan SMAK Kesuma. Menurut Putri, kapten SMAK Kesuma, kemenangan ini sangat tidak diduga. “Smanda (SMAN 2 Mataram-red) memiliki banyak pemain berbahaya, saya kira peluang kami menang hanya 10% dan saya sangat senang dengan kemenangan kali ini,” imbuhnya.

            Setelah kontes three point, pertandingan SMAK Kesuma putra melawan SMAN 5 Mataram dimulai. SMAK Kesuma 'tancap gas' sejak menit-menit awal. Hasilnya, SMAK Kesuma unggul 18-15 di kuarter pertama. Mulai kuarter kedua pertandingan berlangsung sangat ketat. Kemampuan kedua tim sangat berimbang. Kedua tim bergantian mencetak angka. Suasana di Bhakti Mulia selalu gemuruh saat pemain mencetak poin bagi timnya. Saat kuarter kedua selesai, kedudukan imbang 33-33. Beberapa pemain andalan SMAK Kesuma mengalami kram karena kelelahan semenjak kuarter tiga bergulir. Meskipun persaingan angka tetap sengit, permainan SMAK Kesuma menurun. Di kuarter keempat, SMAK Kesuma 'kehabisan napas' setelah salah satu pemain intinya harus dikeluarkan dari pertandingan. Hal ini dimanfaatkan SMAN 5 Mataram yang mampu bermain konsisten hingga akhir. Meski pemain terus berjuang hingga akhir, kekalahan SMAK Kesuma putra tidak dapat dihindari. SMAN 5 Mataram memenangkan pertandingan dengan skor akhir 61-55. Tiket partai final kembali gagal diraih SMAK Kesuma putra. Kapten tim SMAK Kesuma tak kuasa menahan tangisnya. Suporter SMAK Kesuma pulang dengan perasaan kecewa. SMAK Kesuma pun harus mengubur asa mengawinkan gelar juara SBL tahun ini.

            Pertandingan perebutan juara 3 akan dilaksanakan hari ini. SMAK Kesuma putra akan menghadapi SMAN 4 Mataram pukul 16.00 WITA. Tim putri SMAK Kesuma sendiri akan melawan SMAN 1 Mataram pada Sabtu (31/10) pukul 15.00 WITA di partai puncak.

 I think I love writing news like this. This lead me to today.
