When I was a baby, when I could not do anything, my parents and my elder brother took care of me.

My brother is five years older than me. I didn’t sleep with my mum. I slept in a baby cot in my parent’s
bedroom. My brother slept in his own room. My mum breastfed me for two years.

When I cried, they calmed me down. When I was afraid of something, they comforted me. My dad
often carried me around in the morning sun. When I got older, they spoonfed me. I played with my brother. I
was naughty, but he never got angry with me. He was very patient with me.

I started my kindergarten when I was five years old. I did my kindergarten for two years, one year in
Kindy A and one year in Kindy B. My kindy was near my home. I walked to my kindy with my mum or my
brother. Sometimes I went with my dad on his motorcycle.

In the classroom, my teacher read us stories. We sang happy songs, we coloured pictures, and we
played with dough and colorful paper. In the playground, we played sliding, we ran around, and we also played
hide-and-seek.

I started my primary school when I was seven years old and finished when I was twelve. I also walked
to school, because my school was only 200 meters from my home. I went to school with my brother or with my
friends. Sometimes my dad took me to school on his motorcycle. Sometimes I walked to school by myself.

I learned many new things in primary school. I learned to write and to read in Grade 1 and Grade 2. My
favourite teacher was Mrs. Ningrum. She was very smart. She taught us traditional dances and songs. She also
taught us to plant trees and take care of the garden. One day she took us to the local library to borrow books. I
have many sweet memories in my

primary school. My friends and I often helped Pak Min, the janitor, because he had so much work to
do. We felt happy when we could help him. My Physical Education (PE) teacher, Mr. Laode, often took us to
walk around the hills and along the river near our school. We took a rest under the trees when we were tired.

I learned to ride on a bicycle in the school yard in the afternoon after school. And then I could ride in
the small streets in the neighbourhood, with my friends. My friends and I often spent hours chatting in the
small green yard near the Kelurahan office. The boys climbed the big trees. We also swam in the river. It was
still very clean at that time. It is very dirty now.

Now, here I am in this SMP. Last year I was in Grade VII, and now I am in Grade VIII. This school is two
kilometers from my home. I learned many new things in Grade VII. It was my first time to go to school on my
bike. I met boys and girls from different parts of this town. I was very happy when I first wore my blue-and-
white uniform.

Last year was my first time to learn English. I learned to greet other people in English, to introduce
myself in English, and to ask and answer questions in English. We also learned to describe our family, our
friends, and our school in English. I sang my first English song. I also read my first English story. We have no
helper, so my mum, my

dad, my sister, and I do the chores ourselves. We make the bed. We wash and iron our clothes. We also
dust the furniture. We sweep and mop the floor every day. I often go to the shop to buy sugar, soap, oil, salt,
rice, vegetables, fruits, and soon.

In the past only my mum cooked for us. Now, my brother and I often cook for the family. We fry eggs
and make fried rice or noodles. When I lost something, everybody else found it for me. Now, when I lose
something, I find it myself.
