My third week in Indonesia was filled with both excitement and new experiences. After spending the first few days observing the teaching methods of various educators at SMP YSKI Kristen, I was given an exciting opportunity by the school principal. I was assigned to teach Physics to the 8th-grade class, with Mr. BD as my guide and mentor.

The first day of teaching was nerve-wracking yet thrilling. Mr. BD had carefully planned my lesson and provided me with a lot of helpful advice. He showed me how to make the lesson interactive and engaging for the students, explaining complex physical concepts in a way that they could easily understand. With his guidance, I felt more confident and began to enjoy the teaching process. The students were enthusiastic and eager to participate, asking insightful questions and providing creative answers. Their energy and curiosity made teaching them a truly rewarding experience. I realized how much I had learned from Mr. BD’s approach and how valuable this hands-on teaching experience was in developing my own skills.

As the week progressed, I continued to work closely with Mr. BD, receiving constant feedback and learning how to refine my teaching style. It was amazing to witness the improvement in both my teaching and the students' understanding of the subject. By the end of the week, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment and growth.

During the weekend, I had the opportunity to explore some of Semarang’s most beautiful and historical sites. I was taken to Gedong Songo, a series of ancient temples located on the slopes of Mount Ungaran. The scenery was breathtaking, with the lush greenery and the cool mountain air creating a peaceful atmosphere. As I explored the temples, I learned about their history and the cultural significance they hold for the people of Indonesia. The experience was both educational and relaxing, offering a glimpse into Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage.

After visiting Gedong Songo, we headed to Celosia, a colorful garden and amusement park that was truly a feast for the eyes. The vibrant flowers and well-maintained landscapes created a stunning backdrop for photos, and I couldn’t resist taking a few snapshots to capture the beauty of the place. It was a fun and lively spot to unwind after a week of teaching.

In the evening, we went to Waroeng Special Sambal 'SS', a popular local restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious dinner. I tried Pecel Lele, a traditional Indonesian dish consisting of fried catfish served with rice and a spicy sambal (chili paste). The dish was flavorful and rich in spices, and it became one of my favorite Indonesian meals. Sharing the meal with my friends made it even more enjoyable, and I loved experiencing the local cuisine in such a lively setting.

This week was an unforgettable blend of teaching, learning, and cultural exploration. I gained valuable teaching experience, deepened my understanding of Indonesian culture, and created memories that I will cherish forever. I returned home with new skills, a greater appreciation for Indonesia, and a stronger connection to the people and traditions of this beautiful country.
