It is an honor for DNE when the School Leader of SMAN 36 allows the DNE team to provide coaching to all 12th graders. In their final year, 12th graders have to race against time to complete all curriculum lessons and assignments. In addition, considering that they will soon have to take final exams and college entrance examinations, the demands of tutoring are also very time-consuming. In the density of these activities, they must also think about the choice of study programs and campuses that they want to go to for further education. And of course the sequence of responsibilities is not easy for these teenagers aged 17-18 years.
With the full support of class 12 parent representatives, in October-November 2019 DNE completed coaching in 8 classes 12 consisting of 4 Mathematics and Natural Sciences classes and 4 IIS classes. It’s great to meet teenagers who are full of jokes and dreams. The Coaching-On Youth program uses Points of You as a tool so that coachees / children can explore and recognize themselves and their aspirations. After realizing what and the reasons for their aspirations, the doubts in determining the choice of study program and higher education became a belief.
In all the coaching sessions, we were amazed by the aspirations of these teenagers. Among them, some female students who aspire to enter the Police Academy. The efforts they prepare are not only studying but also physical training, including efforts to raise the body. Their beautiful faces did not hinder their intention to enter colleges that had a tough physical education. In addition, many also have aspirations to make their parents happy. So sweet!
These teenagers think that this coaching activity helps them motivate themselves and become even more enthusiastic in achieving their goals. In addition, group coaching also makes them more familiar with their friends, opens their minds and makes them aware of the many choices in life.
Theodore Roosevelt once said “Believe you can and you’re half way there”. So for the 12th grade students of SMAN 36 in East Jakarta, always be enthusiastic!
