“Experience is the teacher of all things.” -Julius Caesar
My experiences as the 9th batch of pre-service student teacher is so meaningful. A great opportunity for me to put my teaching skills into reality and experiencing the rich culture of Indonesia . I came to understand that discovering a new culture is like unwrapping a secret chest of information.
Over time, I not only adjusted in this environment but I also formed lasting connections with individuals who shared their traditional, cultural insights and treated me with love.
Discovering the people here in Indonesia are sweet and kind, every day there are greetings and they always let us feel that we are welcome here. The students of Sekolah Quantum Inti Indonesia are sweet, polite and respectful. The teachers and staff, even the owner of the school are sweet, caring making us feel that we are valued and loved.
I will always value the connection I have created with everyone here. I learned from this experience the importance of empathy, open-mindedness, and adaptation while overcoming cultural differences. It involves embracing many viewpoints, examining one's assumptions, and recognizing the value of human diversity.
