Chairman of Student Council

     First of all, I will introduce myself to all of you. My name is Nafsia from Science 3. I'm one of the candidates who want to lead this school as a chairman of the student council. 

     As we know, leader is someone who leads other. But what makes someone a leader? Here's what you need to know about a leader. A good leader should be a motivator and an inititor, he/she is the one who has new ideas, programs, events, etc. A good leader realizes that she/he can't finish everything by his/herself, he/she will kow the ability of people around him/her, so he/she will give it to the experts. A good leader will treat others with respects. A good leader will understand the needs of others, so he/she will ask many questions, consider the opinions, and lead in the right direction.

     If I am elected to lead this school, I will make new programs for this school. In academic, I will make some study groups with the assistance of the alumni to facilitate student learning process. In extracurricular, I will focus on the extracurriculars which begin to disappear in order to get their existence back. In religion, I will focus on asking each class to read Quran (according to each religion) first before learning.

     And for my achievment, alhamdulillah I have always been top three from elementary school until now. In elementary school and junior high school, I became the first in National Examination in my class.

    That's all from me, I hope you can choose the best for you and for our school.

If I Had One Million Dollars

     If I had one million dollars, there are many things that I could do.

Well, first I would put enough money for college. I think it is important because I only get one million dollars now and of couse Iwill need a back-up plan. The second reason I would put some money for college is that it is important to get a good education even if you don’t need a job. The third reason I would put some money for college is that I would get bored if I did not do anything. And the final reason is that our parents didn't always have much money, we would never know if suddenly they had to pay or buy a very important thing so they would run out of money. These are the reasons that I would put enough money for college.
       Then, I would buy myself a nice house to live in. A house with enough room for a family. Buying a house is important because we need to sleep somewhere and we need a place to gather with our family. I don't want to live in an apartment. Apartment is not big enough to gather with family, and when you want to have a big party in there, it won’t work. I also want to have a pool like a waterpark in my back yard. So, I could play with my friends or family there.

      I would also buy a few nice cars. One for me, one for my father, and two for my sister. I need these because I want to park a nice car in front of my nice house. I would also use the car to go to college later. 

      After that, I would start to go on vacations more frequently. After going to Makkah to do the hajj with my family, I would go to some country in Europe. I would take a first class trip to Italy and stay at one of the best resorts there. I love Italian food, so I would also visit the best restaurant there. Then, maybe I would go to France. I would visit Eiffel Tower in Paris and took some photos there with my family. And the last, I would go to Germany. I had a plan to study in Germany, but I still didn't know which university I would choose. Maybe I would visit some university there, so I would know which university that suitable for me.

     And the last, I would love to donate to charity. I would do this because I think that it is important to help the poor people. I would give some money to the orphans. Then I would give some money to cure cancer because a lot of people die because of cancer each year. After that, I could go and give some money to people who really need help to get an education. I think these are the most important thing that I could do because I believe that we also need the help from others, so we have to help the others too.

      So these are the most important things that I would do if I had one million dollars.

Infotainment

    Infotainment is a television program with combination of news and entertainment features. Infotainment usually discusses about someone's facts. Of course, it talks about famous people, like artists and public figures. It will expose anything that happened the people, like daily activities, concert schedules, fashions, hobbies, cars, houses, and so on. All of them can be reported and of course the infotainment always make them can be commercialized.

    Infotainment can caused good effect and also bad effect. For example, if the infotainment talks about football match between Indonesia and other country, many people will watch the match or at least they know the news. So, it will inceases Indonesian people's nationalism indirectly. Another example, if the infotainment discusses about a student who won an international competition or got the best score for National Examination, the other students in Indonesia will be motivated by the news. They will study harder to get a higher score. And for the artists or public figures, maybe their popularity will increase because many people will know who they are from the infotainment.

    Even though the infotainment gives some good effects, it gives bad effects too. For women, the infotainment just wasting time. Many housewives become unproductive because they stay longer in front of the television to watch the infotainment. Beside that, the infotainment often talks about a divorce which happened to an artist. I think a divorce is a bad thing and it must be a privacy for him or her, but it is considered as an entertaining news by the infotainment. Of course it can disturb the artist and his or her family. Another bad effect is some children or teenagers make an artist become thir idols. So, it is very possible that they will imitate thir idols, like their fashions and lifestyle. It will be a very bad thing if the children or teenangers follow the bad habbit of their idols, like smoking.

    From those informations, we know that infotainment can be a good thing or a bad thing. For parents, I think they should accompany their children when they're watching television. So, they can choose a good television program for their children. For the infotainments, I think they have to know that people have their own privacy, they can expose anything about famous people like artists, but not their privacy.
