10th journal entry
I experience one negative peer pressure when I’m in high school. They told to me that they will have an “inuman session” in one of the house of my classmate and that will happen after our JS prom. First, I think that my parents will not agree that I will get drunk. I also didn’t agree to go with my classmates, but they have many reasons. First, that “inuman session” will be sometimes only in individual life. Second, they reason to me that we were friends since first year high school and I should trust them. And many reasons come and until I agree. The problem is…. What will I say to my parents? My friends told to me that I will only having a sleepover in the house of my classmate. Time goes by and the prom night came, in that time I agree with them and join them in the session. After that night, I feel… guilty because I didn’t something wrong. But in the end, my friends told to me that an “inuman session” must be done occasionally only. They told to me also that drinking alcoholic drinks must be done only every celebration.

RESPECT FOR HEALTH
When I review my health, I found out that I am over weight. It means that I must reduce my foods and I need more exercise. But, it is like a challenge to me because I need to discipline myself in terms of eating. I also want to play basketball as my exercise but I had no time to play. I had no vices like drinking beer and gin, I not also trying to smoke because I know the consequences. I also didn’t even try to take drugs because I know that it will ruin everything in my life. Once you became addict on it, it will be hard to recover everything.

Challenge
Sunday, August 2, 2009
“The Most Challenging Thing that I have ever Accomplish”
As I reflected, there’s a question comes to my mind… Do I accomplish a challenging thing? I look back in my high school and… I think that I accomplish something. There are lots of challenges enter in one person. Each person will carry challenge. My challenge that I take first in my high school is to graduate. It is like a simple challenge when I think it, but when I reach 4th year… that idea was changed. I need to balance my studies and my varsity. I had also a thesis to finish. A thesis is not being done in one day but it will be done in 4 quarters.
As I take all that challenge, the first thing that enters to my mind is to take the challenge simple. Do your work with your whole idea and take a proper rest. I also forget to include house chores to the challenges. I need rest because every afternoon I need to practice in our varsity team. At the end, the results appear… we lose the cup early. That is a sad thing… despite of that, I pass the thesis and my teacher gave us a high score. That is one of the remarkable days in my high school. Because before you pass the thesis… there’s a thesis defense will happen first before we pass our thesis. If there’s no thesis that will be passed… no graduation. In graduation, I take the highest award in the school and that award is not based on the academics, but the character. I didn’t receive any academic awards even salutatorian and valedictorian but I receive service awards from different groups and I receive the highest award of the school. The feeling that I had is unexplainable happiness. A happiness that I can’t remove the smile that had been created in my face.

Assignment
1. How does Values Education work to your advantage?
In Values Education, it will help me to build my character. I will not become a successful person if I wouldn’t know my attitude. It is important to a person to know who he/she is. As I take this course, I realize that intelligence is nothing if you haven’t got a good character. Now, I ready myself to learn new ways to develop my character through the course, values education.
2. After you have processed your first few experiences at MCL, in what way this will help you achieve successful adjustment in college?
I mingle to the right persons and follow the school rules. I will also study harder because there is a big difference between the study in high school and in college. I will be more careful to my every decision in college. One wrong decision will lead me to a complicated situation.
3. Analyze your readiness for college using the checklist “making transition from high school to college”.
If I will grade myself readiness from 1 to 10, 10 as highest, I think my score is 7. This is because I am only a freshmen and I need to learn more in college. But in the brighter side, I’m coping up with my studies.
