Biography Raden Adjeng Kartini

 

Raden Adjeng Kartini is a very smart and respected woman. Raden Adjeng Kartini was born in Jepara on April 21, 1879. Raden Adjeng Kartini came from the priyayi class or the Javanese aristocratic class. She is the daughter of Raden Mas Adipati Ario Sosroningrat, a patih who was appointed regent of Jepara immediately after Kartini was born. Kartini is the daughter of the first wife, but not the main wife. His mother named M.A. Ngasirah, daughter of Nyai Haji Siti Aminah and Kyai Haji Madirono, a religion teacher in Telukawur, Jepara.

Kartini is the fifth child of 11 biological and step siblings. Of all the siblings, Kartini is the oldest daughter. His grandfather, Pangeran Ario Tjondronegoro IV, was appointed regent at the age of 25 and was known in the mid-19th century as one of the first regents to provide Western education to his children. Kartini's older brother, Sosrokartono, was a smart language expert. Until the age of 12 years, Kartini was allowed to attend Europeesche Lagere School (ELS). Here, among others, Kartini learned Dutch. However, after the age of 12 years, he had to stay at home because he could be secluded.

Because Kartini could speak Dutch, at home she began to study on her own and write letters to correspondence friends who came from the Netherlands. One of them is Rosa Abendanon who supports her a lot. From European books, newspapers and magazines, Kartini was interested in the progress of European women's thinking. His desire arose to promote indigenous women, because he saw that indigenous women were at a low social status.

By her parents, Kartini was matched with the regent of Rembang, K.R.M. Adipati Ario Singgih Djojo Adhiningrat, who already had three wives. Kartini married on November 12, 1903. Her husband understood Kartini and Kartini's wishes to be given freedom and was supported to establish a women's school to the east of the gate of the Rembang district office complex, or in a building which is now used as the Scout Building. Her first and last child, Soesalit Djojoadhiningrat, was born on September 13, 1904. A few days later, September 17, 1904, Kartini died at the age of 25. Kartini was buried in Bulu Village, Bulu District, Rembang.

The prohibition to pursue her dreams of going to school that arose from her family and the news about the progress of women in Europe that sparked her heart to fight for women's rights in Indonesia, especially in the field of education.RA Kartini has the motto of Habis Gelap Terbitlah Light which means that after difficulties, there must be a way or ease. Like the difficulties of women in ancient times. They are treated only one eye, are deprived of their right to education, are forced to marry at a young age, and are only allowed to stay at home to take care of their children.

These difficulties and injustices made R.A. Kartini struggled to equalize rights between women and men, one of which was in terms of education. She tries to teach women how to read and write from childhood to adulthood. Many oppose her brave and noble efforts, but she still tries to raise the status of women in Indonesia. Until finally, the efforts he did unyielding to produce the results that we feel until now.

HOPES AND DREAMS

 

My hopes and dreams 

Talk about the hopes and dreams everyone has, everyone has different hopes and dreams. On this occasion I will convey my hopes and dreams which may come true. 

My dream is that I can improve myself and develop myself into a valuable person so that I can help Indonesia progress. Become a person who is not only smart and intelligent, but also has good behavior and character. 

My hope is that someday Indonesia will become a superpower that can make maximum use of nature and local labor without destroying nature. So that Indonesia is not only economically advanced but also preserves nature so that our children and grandchildren can see and get to know the animals or plants that we see today. 

Maybe that's all I say, once again everyone has hopes and dreams, both big and small. Strive to make our hopes and dreams come true.

ANTIBULLYING

 

In today's advanced, sophisticated and modern age, everything develops rapidly as technology and people's thinking change. However, in this advanced era, there is still bullying at school, home or in the home environment.

Bullying (known in Indonesian as "oppression / risak")constitutes all forms of oppression or violence committed intentionally by one person or group of stronger people or power over others, with the aim of hurting and done continuously.

Types of bullying:

• Physical bullying
• Verbally bullying
• Mental bullying
• Direct physical contact
• Direct verbal contact
• Direct non-verbal behavior
• Indirect non-verbal behavior
• Cyber ​​bullying

a. Impact on victims:

- Depression and anger

- low attendance and low academic achievement

students

- Decreased intelligence test scores (IQ) and analytical skills

students.

b. Impact on the perpetrator:

Doers have high self-esteem with high self-esteem too high, tend to be aggressive with pro behavior against violence, typical of people who are violent, irritable and impulsive, low tolerance for frustration. Have a need strong to dominate others and less empathetic towards the target.

c. Impact on other students who witness bullying (bystanders):

Several students might join the bullies for fear of being the next target and some others may just be silent alone without doing anything and the worst they felt there's no need to stop it.

Here are some steps parents can take to prevent bullying:

-Institute moral values ​​from an early age.

-Encourage children to jointly assess and distinguish good deeds from actions that are not appropriate to others.

-Build good communication with children, and accompany them in the process of growth and development.

-Teach children how to be assertive, aka firm but always polite, so that they are not easily bullied and become a people pleaser.

-You can also advise your child to dare to report to teachers at school when they experience bullying behavior.

-If your child feels unable to speak directly, maybe he or she can write them a letter or email them.

-If your child is a bully, then invite the child to discuss and find out the cause. Explain that this is not acceptable behavior, and is not acceptable.

-Parents can invite children (both perpetrators and victims) to undergo counseling so that their thought patterns and behavior can be better directed.

Last but not least, be a good role model for children. Because consciously or not, children will imitate their parents as a measure of behavior.

My story:

Talking about bullying, I have experienced it from elementary school to junior high school, only a verbal bullying is said to be grumpy, dirty, short or snub. It didn't really matter to me because I realized that I was. All I do is shut up and accept the reality. That's all my story I'm afraid what I'm telling you is boring hehe.

Enchanted Fish

 

     Enchanted fish is a folk tale that teaches us about a hope that will always exist. The bad nature of greed that brings disaster to itself. 

     And also teaches that we must be assertive and responsible people so that we can guide the people closest to us to realize that what they are doing is wrong.

     I made a banner out of the folktale. In the banner that I made there is a picture of a fish, I purposely made it like a polaroid photo to attract visitors. 

     The sentences I use are also not long so they are easy to read when people pass them. And there is also an address and entrance fee so that visitors are not confused.

 Butterfly metamorphosis

 General statement 

To grow into an adult, a butterfly goes through 4 stages, namely egg, larva, pupa and adult. Depending on the type of butterfly, the life cycle of a butterfly can last from one month to a full year. 

Explanation 

A butterfly begins life as a very small, round, oval, or cylindrical egg. The eggs hatch and the young ones called larvae or caterpillars emerge from the eggs. The first caterpillar eats the egg shell in which it was born. Then it started eating the leaves and started growing. The exoskeleton (skin) does not stretch or grow, so it grows by "molting" (shedding the growing skin) several times as it grows. As soon as the caterpillar has finished growing and reaches its full length, it forms itself into a cocoon, which is also known as a cocoon. The cocoon remains motionless inside the cocoon. Inside the cocoon, the pupa undergoes a series of changes. After about 15 days, a beautiful adult butterfly emerges from the cocoon. 

Closing 

When the butterfly comes out, the wings are small and wet, then the butterfly pumps the liquid into it to make it strong and expand. After a few hours, the wings become strong enough and the butterfly can fly.
