The Benefits of Study at University

    There are many ways to achieve success. One that helps is to continue your study in a university.  Everyone will choose an academy that suits their needs and dreams. Based on monash.edu , it states that a university education will help your child succeed in today's workforce and establish an enjoyable career of their choice. Every person who starts to continue their study in university will have a reason why he chose that path. Of course their reason will support their dreams in the future. I think continuing to study at university is the best way to achieve success in life. In my opinion,  continuing to study at university has several benefits for someone in the future.

    The first benefit that will be felt in the future by someone who continues his studies at university is that it is easier to get a job. By continuing to study at university, one will get the opportunity to get a job easily. Why? Because at this time many institutions or companies prioritize educated graduates as the main requirements. According to uopeople.edu, it states that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in April 2018, college graduates experienced a 2.1% unemployment rate, compared to 4.3% for high school graduates. The overall unemployment rate for adults able to work was averaging 3.6%, so it’s easy to see why having a college degree can help keep you shielded from being unemployed. As reported by Bisnis.com, there are currently 6.82 million unemployed people in Indonesia. The low education factor is also the reason why the increasing unemployment rate in Indonesia.  If someone has a good quality by continuing to study at university, it will make it easier for him to get a job. For example, Sharizan tries to apply for a job in a company. Of course many people also applied for jobs there. However, because Sharizan has a high education he is very likely to be accepted into the company. This certainly can reduce unemployment in Indonesia. So, by looking at current events, I am sure that continuing education in university will make it easier for someone to find work in the future.

    In addition to making it easier to get a job, continuing education in college also develops the abilities that someone has. Studying at university will provide a variety of knowledge and skills in accordance with the course he chose. That means overcoming education at university will help a person to develop the abilities he needs to get better. For  example, Sharizan chose to study in English education so that his skills in English conversation would be better than others. Not only that, by continuing education in college, he will become a more competent person in the language field in the future. Because at this time many companies or companies that prioritize the skills of workers. Besides that, according to sharpspring.com , it states that having a broader education can help you become more creative and innovative. In turn, this can help you stand out from your peers, climb the business ladder, or maybe even branch out on your own to create something novel. The best entrepreneurs today have a well-rounded education, and they’re always looking for new opportunities to learn. It means that if someone has ability, he/she becomes a more creative and innovative person.

    And the last benefit, continuing education in college also has a good impact on someone's social relations. Because by continuing college, someone will automatically meet new faces and new friends. This of course will also have an impact on the association in the future. By getting to know many people, it will be easier for someone to have a relationship with another party. Because on campus he had met various people who came from various regions. He was trained to improve social relations with each other. According to essaywritingserviceuk.co.uk, it states that having a credited degree means that you are knowledgeable in a certain area or field, knowledge which can be put forward to benefit society. By studying at this university, he can understand how to start relationships with new people from different origins and different cultures. So, in the future he will find it easier to have relationships with others. Based on topuniversities.com, it states that university doesn’t just help you write better though, it also improves your ability to interact face-to-face with others. For example, Sharizan who continued his studies at the university had established a good relationship with friends from various regions. He has also joined various campus organizations which certainly has a good impact on his social development. This will be good for him in the future. Because he was accustomed to being on campus to make friends with people from different regions. So, I think someone's decision to continue their education in college will have an impact on their social relations in the future.

    In conclusion, continuing studies at university will provide various benefits in one's life in the future. By continuing education at university, one will later be able to find work easily. Not only that, he/she will also have good abilities and skills. And he/she can also establish good social relationships in the future with others. Seeing this benefit is why I am convinced that continuing study at university is necessary.

The Negative Impact of Covid-19 For Students

  Now, the situation in Indonesia is getting worse because of covid-19. In various cities, efforts have been made to lockdown over this virus. In addition, of course this has many impacts on various aspects of life. One of them is education, the effect of preventing covid-19 transmission is very influential on education. As a student, I felt some of the negative impact of covid-19.

  The first negative impact I felt was that I could not understand learning well through the online system. Now, to prevent covid-19 transmission, teaching and learning activities are diverted to the online system. I find it difficult to understand learning without a direct explanation by the lecturer in this online system. So,  in some courses I am still confused with the learning material. That is why I feel that covid-19 has a bad impact on me as a student.

  The next bad impact that I felt was so many tasks given by the lecturer. Previously, in a face-to-face lecture, students were given a detailed understanding of the material by the lecturer and then an assignment. However, now I am immediately given a task that I do not understand. Not only were there many tasks that I was troubled, but also the time allotted was also a deadline.. It is this limited time that makes it difficult for me to divide my time to work between one task and another. This is the reason why I think covid-19 has a bad effect on me as a student.

  The last bad impact that I felt was the difficulty of the network to access information from the lecturer. Due to the online system, I automatically have to be well connected to the internet network. However, the network in my village is sometimes very unstable. So, I find it difficult to access information from lecturers. The worst thing is if a lecturer gives a deadline assignment, while I have difficulty getting an internet network, then I have to go out to the city area so I can access information. Precisely, Covid-19 this has a bad impact for me in this online learning process.

  In conclusion, covid-19 does have an impact in various aspects of life. One of them is in the field of education. As a student, I feel various adverse effects on this co-19. Not understanding the learning material, many deadline assignments and the difficulty of accessing information are the bad effects I felt as a student of covid-19.

Covid-19 Has Changed Various Aspects Of Life In Indonesia

      At this time, the world situation is not good because of covid-19. To note, covid-19 is a virus that spreads very easily and in a short time. So, many people do not realize and know how this virus spreads. At present, in various countries are taking precautions to prevent the spread of covid-19. Including in Indonesia, the government and the community are taking action to prevent the distribution of covid-19. However, in a short time, covid-19 has changed various aspects of life in Indonesia.

      One aspect that was greatly affected because covid-19 was in the field of education. In Indonesia, education is currently forced to be carried out without face-to-face learning to prevent the spread of covid-19. This includes various levels of education ranging from elementary schools to universities. For me, covid-19 has had a significant impact on my education. Currently, we do learning without face to face, so we do learning using various applications such as Google classroom and others. The impact that I felt was that I found it difficult to understand the learning material because it did not go through the face-to-face process as usual. In addition, because I was interrupted by the internet, I found it more difficult to connect or get information about learning from the lecturer. So, this is the impact of covid-19 in the world of education that I feel today.

      Another aspect which is also influenced by covid-19 is in the health sector. With the covid-19, many victims fell ill to death. Not only that, medical personnel namely doctors and nurses are also victims in covid-19 which is rife today. To note, every day, increasing patients who are positive covid-19 in Indonesia. So that doctors and nurses in Indonesia are difficult to deal with patients due to this covid-19. This is why I say covid-19 affects the health sector in Indonesia.

      In conclusion, covid-19 is a virus that is currently rife throughout the world, including in Indonesia. Covid-19 has changed various aspects in Indonesia. Education in Indonesia is currently not carried out in a face-to-face process. In addition, health in Indonesia is now very critical because every day there are more and more positive victims of covid-19. That is why I say covid-19 has changed aspects of life in Indonesia.

My Writing Experience

  Writing is the best way to describe our feelings. When we write, we can pour out our feelings and ideas that we want to express. Writing will also have a good impact on the ability of the writer himself. One kind of writing that i like is writing a poem.  For me, writing a poem has provided an opportunity for me to make achievements and to develop my writing skills.

 Writing a poem provides many opportunities for me to take part in various competitions. I have written since I was in high school. I like to read and write it. I usually write 4 to 5 verses in each poem that I make. For me, writing a poem gives its own impression because poetry can represent my feeling. Beginning with a love for reading and writing poetry, I finally tried to take part in poetry reading competitions held at my school. Not only that, I also participated in various competitions held by other schools. That's why I think writing can give me opportunities to participate in various competitions.

  In addition, writing poem also provides an opportunity for me to carve out an achievement. That is Because I often participated in various writing and poetry reading competitions, Alhamdulillah, I won the competition. I won the poetry competition in my school. Because of this victory, I became more enthusiastic in writing. Because by writing poetry, I can have the chance to become a champion.

 Participating in various competitions provided knowlede for me to develop and to introspect myself in the future.

By joining various competitions, I got knowledge from each race about my shortcomings. Therefore, I can improve myself for the next contest to write better. With these mistakes, every time I write a poem, I will revise it several times until it is really good. Thus, writing more  does provide learning to create a better poetry work in the future.

  In conclusion, I feel good benefits for myself when I routinely write a poem. In addition to improving my ability, writing also provides an opportunity for me to take part in various competitions and have the opportunity to win the competition. Not only that, by routinely writing a poem, I know the mistakes and shortcomings that I have so that I can reflect myself on those mistakes. For me, writing a poem has a good effect on me.

How can a sociological foundation and cultural foundation shape a person's character?

Assalammualaikum everyone,

Welcome to myblog 😊

Well, here I will discuss about "How can a sociological foundation and cultural foundation shape a person's character?". Before I tell you about it, I will first explain what is a sociological foundation and cultural foundation. The sociological foundation is the basic norm of education that comes from the life of a society that is adopted, and the cultural foundation is the norm that originates from a cultured life. In short, sociological norms and cultural norms are closely related. Because the norms in a society are usually synonymous with the culture of the community. Well, I understand, right? Let's follow my story ...

Like what I wrote on my previous blog, I was a woman born in a village, then moved to another district until I was in elementary school, and finally returned to my village until I was in high school, and now I live in the city to continue my education. Different places of residence are certainly different circumstances of society and culture, right ?. From various circumstances and the environment of society and culture in the environment taught me about my thinking, speaking, and behaving.

When I was in Air Molek, I lived and grew up with my family whose tribe was Java. However, there were not only a majority of Javanese people, but many Batak people lived in the area where I lived at that time. I feel the difference between the social and cultural environment between the two tribes, especially in making friends. I am a tolerant person, I like to be friends with other people even with different tribes and cultures. However. Because the majority of Batak are Christian, so are my friends, so I don't surprise if he tells me about his food, including eating pork. It is very contrary to me who lives with a Javanese family. In talking too much different, I am used to Malay accent, my family in the water is very thick with Javanese language which usually speaks in a low and polite tone, while my friends and neighbors often speak in a big and loud voice . That is the difference between the environment and culture that I feel very much, but I never felt that the differences in my environment made me weak, but I was happy and open to these differences, except concerning religious beliefs. Related to the norms that exist in my environment, I pay more attention to how my family lives that has a Javanese tribe. There are so many social norms that I can take, just from how to eat can describe a person's character. In terms of culture more related to norms on certain events or activities, such as marriage, there are cultures and traditions that have certain values ​​and meanings in them.

When I was in the second grade of elementary school, my parents and I returned home to my hometown in the district. Sentajo Raya. It's very strange for me to go home, why is that? Because I was used to speaking Indonesian and Javanese as well, I immediately came back to the village and had to start understanding language in my hometown. Of course I was only born here, then big in Air Molek, for sure I don't understand how the accent of speaking in my hometown community. My parents have taught me to speak Indonesian from a small age, returning to my hometown to study again. In my village it was very peaceful, because I did not longer hear the cries of my neighbor who from batak. However, here I am very difficult to make friends, besides in terms of my different languages, I am also a person who is very easily offended by someone's words. Whereas, here I see every day that only small children often mock and say rude to each other. Wow, I really can't believe it. Of course these are environmental factors, family, friends, and society. I began to understand how my village environment since I was 3 months lived there. I began to understand how the language was used, and also the culture and food that was really new to me. In Air Molek, I always eat sweet dishes, contrary to what is here. However, because in terms of food I could not accept new things, so far I have difficulty adapting to spicy food. Then what are the cultural things that I can understand up to now in my hometown? There are many, for example culture or tradition "Mandi Balimau" before welcoming the month of Ramadan. This is routine every year carried out by the people in my village. And the thing that caught my attention since I settled in my hometown was the culture of "Rumah Godang" on the second day of Eid al-Fitr. Here, we can get to know each other of our tribe members, can strengthen friendship, and prevent the occurrence of "Kawin Sasuku". Well, fellow tribe marriage. That is the most strict cultural norm in my area. So that if you violate this norm, you will get certain sanctions. Of course this norm has a good purpose, such as to increase friendship if married to someone from another tribe, and many other purposes. So that the norms that exist in the community is one of them if you choose the opposite sex, the thing that must be asked first is what is the tribe of the person. Well, isn't it detailed? Look, my tribe is Malay, so I can't marry a man who has a Malay tribe either, because that is the norm at my birthplace.

It doesn't stop only in my village, now I live in the city to continue my education. Different indeed, cities and villages. Here I look more and feel the attitude of community togetherness that is so lacking. The city community is so closed and different from the people in my village. In my village, every shop is always crowded with children, teenagers, even adults who are not just shopping, but also gather and communicate about anything. So that if one person is hit by a disaster, then the information will spread quickly and the community will be very responsive and care about it. In contrast to urban society, which emphasizes more on individualism. And in terms of culture, I have seen diversity since I have lived here. However, there is no culture in the city that is able to attract my attention beyond the culture in my village.

From my experiences, I understand that environmental and cultural factors are able to shape my character to this day. From the environmental and cultural conditions that exist in Ir Molek, I learned tolerance in friendship, and the ethics of speaking that was able to equip me when I returned to my hometown. From life in my village, I was better able to understand how the cultural meaning prevailed, I understood how the attitude of togetherness and caring for the people in my village was difficult for me to find now in the city. From my various experiences, I understand that the norms that apply to society can be a reference for the community to think, speak, and behave. Likewise with the norms contained in cultural life, because every culture in a community has a meaning and purpose that is good for the community so that culture can last from the past, now, and in the future. With different community and cultural environments, I can think maturely and be tolerant of a situation and also a relationship, both friends and community wherever I live.

Thank you for reading my experience, how can I who I am today with the existing community and cultural environment, of course, because of the norms that apply to that environment. That's all from me, assalammualaikum ....

Story of Mylife (Padagogic foundation)

Hello Everyone,

Wecome in myblog ☺

Well, here I will tell you about my life experience from I was a child until now. Well, here my life experience is related to the padagogic foundation. Well, before I tell you , I want to briefly review what the padagogik is. The padagogik foundation is an effort to educate or mature a child, such as from internal factors in the form of family upbringing and external factors, such as environment, friends, education, etc. Well, now because friends already understand my current discussion, can I start right away? Let's continue reading, yeah

I am a girl who was born on October 3, 2000, named Sri Indrawati. Born in a village with a peaceful life named kp. Baru sentajo from both parents named Rustam Ependi and Sulastri. From my childhood, my mother said that my body's development was normal, not behind other children. And since childhood, I have been raised and cared for by my parents.

As a child, my parents and I lived in Air Molek, until I was in grade 1 of elementary school. However, in grade 2 elementary school, I had settled in kp. Baru sentajo until I was in high school. When I was in Air Molek, my parents and I lived in a rented house, my mother was an IRT, and my father worked as a rough worker in brick production. From childhood, I am used to a simple life, but I am happy and proud because my parents' efforts of raising and providing me things. However, I did not study in kindergarten, because I was not interested in entering kindergarten, and my parents did not force me to enter kindergarten. However, I did not feel that I was left behind from my friends who were educated in kindergarten, because when I was in elementary school, I could still excel and understand what was conveyed by the teacher, except math and sports lessons. I also have a history of poor mathematical values ​​when I was in grade 3 elementary school, which got a grade of 5. Since then, I was motivated to study more mathematics, until when I was Junior high school, I really liked math, even until now . The experience of 5 values guided me until now, that anything can be achieved as long as we try it.

When I was in Junior high school, I focused on learning religion lesson, such as jurisprudence, hadith al-quran, Arabic, and others. In adolescence that was when I began to know myself more, I understood how to know the environment even though I was vulnerable to being affected because at this time I was still unstable. At this time, most teenagers know relationship, including me. Well, it's natural and normal for all humans. I have been relationship for up to 3 years, and went through various other laborious times with friends, in the family environment, to the community. However, from all experiences, I learned and understood how to behave, socialize, and understand myself. In dealing with a problem, I always tell my mother, because I believe that whatever comes from the blessing and advice of parents, are always the best for us. When I was in junior high school, I had a dream to study in Saudi Arabia, with a major in Arabic, because I really wanted to explore Arabic. However, my hopes began to fade when I decided to continue to high school, not the islamic senior high school.

When I was in  senior high school, I still understood Arabic a little, so I continued to be the host of Arabic in school activities and in the village. At this time I began to understand and think what I would want to become in the future, implied in my mind that I wanted to become a doctor, so I majored in Science when I was in high school. Here, we are no longer guided like in elementary school and junior high school , but we must be able to understand and act towards adults. I really like this phase, because here I feel that my character and talents actually appear comprehensive. So that I realized that I like literature, and finally I decided to major in English Department at the University of Riau.

Yeah, that’s all my story I could tell you about. Thank you for reading ☺

And do know that criticism & suggestion are always welcome ☺
