Narrative I

My Blue Jacket

The time when I was in Senior High School is the best moment ever in my life because it really gave me many experiences which could not be forgotten. Senior High School was my time for enjoying my youth. My friends and I often did something fun like hanging out together, making a joke, teasing each other, celebrating our sweet seventeenth birthday, and doing many other activities. Sometimes, we also loved to miss-class when we felt that the lesson was so boring. However, the most unforgettable moment was the time when I was inaugurated as one of the members of student organization in senior high school and it was a pride for me.

I needed so many sacrifices and struggles to become the member of student organization because I had to pass the challenges. I had to do the practice of line march every Sunday for 9 months and it really made me feel so exhausted. I did the practice under the sunshine and it made my complexion getting darker and darker. Besides, I also got headache because my senior asked me to do the practice in 5 hours without stopping. When I did something wrong during the practice, my senior would get angry and give punishment for me like pushing up or sitting up. My senior also would give so many satire words which made me feel so depressed. This practice also made me so busy and had less time for holiday. Every Sunday, for 9 months I had to go to school and did the practice. I woke up at 5 a.m. because I should be at school at 6 a.m. So that, I had less time for enjoying my time with my family and hanging out with my friends. The most annoying thing was I could not get up late on Sunday like what my friends did.

I had many new close friends who became the members of student organization. We were from different classes which brought our own vision, but we united to be the member of student organization. We met every Sunday to do the practice of line march. We laughed together when the senior gave reward for us and cried together when the senior gave punishment for us. It made us have the same feeling and the same perception. We often shared our problems each others and the other friend would give the solution for it. Sometimes, we also fought or argued each others because we had different ideas or characteristics, but it did not take so many times because we would find the way to solve it. Did many activities together made us closer and closer. We knew each others, understood each others, and the most important thing was we cared each others. We were like a family. They made me realized that togetherness is awesome. From them, I know what togetherness is.

We were different and special because not all of the students in our school could be like us. We were so happy when the inauguration day came and it was the first time we wore our pride jacket, our blue jacket, the jacket of student organization. Maybe many people thought that blue jacket was not same or it was similar with the other jacket, but it was really different for us. We needed so many efforts to get it and finally we really got it in our inauguration day. We were so proud. We knew that it was not the end of our struggle, but it was our new struggle, our new story as the member of student organization. Many teachers and students gave compliment to us. They said that we had to maintain the fame of our school and became a good “bridge” between the teachers and the students. I loved that day. Everyone who met us smiled to us. We were so thankful to all of our seniors because they had taught us for 9 months. Sometimes, we were so angry to them, but at that day we realized that what my senior had taught was useful things. It would help us to do the job as the member of student organization. Being a member of student organization and the representative of my school to join many events which were held by other schools or institutions was a great happiness in my life.

So, have you ever heard that proverb said, “no gain without pain”? Now, I realize that it is so true. We need so many sacrifices and struggles to get what we want. I was so proud because I had been the member of student organization in my senior high school. I was so happy because I really knew what togetherness was. I was not only knowing the meaning of togetherness by words, but I felt it by my self. Since I became the member of student organization, I felt so many good changes on my self. I became more patient, more enjoyable, and many others. So, never give up to get what you want. You need to have struggle for getting it because if you never desperate, I am sure that you will get what you want and you will feel so satisfied and happy when you get it.
