Experiences was Creating while a Skill is Evolving
Something that mostly I do is about everything that related to physical, sport is apart of my greatlife. This kind of handtyping will bring into a condition when a skill is was creating hardly from the first till now on of time changes.
Ever since I was in Elementary School, I watched my old brother throw a dark-yellow ball into the ring which has a net under the ring itself. A ball with rough surface and white motive in dark-yellow of that ball’s color make me interested to touch them. People usually playing the basket ball with variety fast movement and trick. “How hard it’s for me?” I said to my self. However, I do want to do that as well, clap one hand on that ball over the time while taking a slowly run and follow their movement to be apply when I do the same thing.
I’ve always had a wish to be expert on that kind of sport. Every single time I couldn’t stop to ask my old brother to teaches me to play basketball correctly. Yeah, basketball? A silly sport which fight to get a ball while run and jumping like a squirrel, why don’t they just buy a ball for themself so they can play it freely without fighting first. That was implicated in my mind when I was in kindergarten. Back to my effort which asked my brother’s request, and I realize that actually it just useless, because it was no result at all. My old brother had no willingness to built a great skill of me to play basketball, with no evidence he blamed me that I couldn’t play basketball. He said that I’m too little in my age to played with the dark-yellow ball, even he thought that basketball was bigger rather than my head and I have no energy to throw the ball into the ring. Moreover, another reason support him to wouldn’t accept my request, that he has no leisure time because of he was too busy with his school’s project. But then, because of I’ve always had day to practice basketball hardly, so I just learn and try again and again to throw the ball highly, even it was enough for me if the ball only touch the side of the ring itself. With no people or friends that I expect can teach me this kind of game clearly, I just brought and throw the ball up to my self and with no trick at all.
While the time was running fast, finally I kept my red uniform and changed it into the dark-blue skirt of uniform. Let says it Junior High School, well my age was adding as what my height which always increasing every single year. Now I'm seventh grader of Junior High School Number 1 Muara Enim.
Ever since I sited in this level of education, I had many fabulous experience here. Sport was becoming my favourite subject to do. I was join more than three extracurricular at that time, below is the list :
• Volley ball club
• Gym club
• Basketball club
• Scout organizations
• Band club
I mentioned it based on the dominant extracurricular that most I like to enjoyed. And basketball is the third. Why? My mind would like to change them. I thought that basketball didn’t make a sense in my junior high school, it’s not because of the school weren’t great enough, but it was because of I couldn’t have a nailing skill to do that. But actually, the coach that teach basketball in my Junior High School is a kind man and also friendly. Mr. Yayan, that’s his name. He’s old enough, but it doesn’t matter for him to be a sport teacher such basketball. But it didn’t predispose my mind to didn’t changed, since in Junior High School, I do like volleyball club to be with. Meanwhile basketball club was just tertiary sport that mostly I do.
Someday when my Junior High School joined basketball competition. Let says Bupati Cup. It was held to celebrated Muara Enim Birthday, Muara Enim is my beloved region. It was when I in grade nine. While the competition was running, I flashed when I still in elementary school which I do much practice basketball strongly.
Five quarter had been done by my school’s team of basketball itself, and they did a great job, they brought a tropy as a proud of my Junior High School. That event influenced me so well. It was encourage me to include in basketball club as a member. Moreover, my bestfriend wouldn’t stop to force me to join that greatest club. Because they said that I’m good enought on it. But then after I thought twice about that, I couldn’t join that club, many reason support me so; Firstly, it was when I in ninth grader, so it will just useless if I join the club itself because of limited time that I had and it might be make me will not enjoyed the club well. Secondly, as a grade nine student, busy will attack me by did try out in every single week, this may lead me to didn’t have a chance to join basketball competition. Thirdly, three coming up months, ninth grader of of school for all over part in Indonesia will face the National Examination. Study hard would like to be my dominant things to do rather than playing basketball as my extracuricullar wanna be. So i just postpone my ambition tilll the end of National Examination to be apart on basketball club. Meanwhile my previous club, I still do like it but I paused to attend the practice for that three months.
After three months had done, exactly when the the time of last subject in examination had off well. It was being a great moment for all of my class member to throw dark-yellow ball and play with it as the way to refresh our mind from much burden to think. Throw the ball strongly into the ring while imagine that we was free from that bored examination.
But I can only throw a couple of ball for each quarter. And I couldn’t take and fight to get the ball I’m not good enough as what my friends thought. But it doesn’t matter for me. I will practice hard.
I fill my holiday time with playing and practice to throw the ball correctly into the ring. Mayang, yeah.. she’s my classmate. She was join Bupati Cup also at that time, a fabolous skill that she have would like make me totally want to learn more about basketball with her. With her pleasure, she accepted it. As long as sun still up on the sky. I had always play with dark-yellow dark ball and Mayang as the insructure. She teaches me so well. First, I learn about the technic and trick to play with it. And then, I learn about the rule in playing basketball. After that, I directly apply all of that in my played. There are so many unknown word on it, but time by time I understand it all.
1. dribble is
Bringing the ball to the ground by bouncing
2. Shot is Shoot into the ring by throwing the ball. For good results, the
direction of the ball should form a parabolic curve and do not forget to
focus.

with 12 : 10 as a comparison, I only can throw a couple of ball which throught pass the ring. I had always tried to throw it well, as a good results, basketball is a nice friend to be with and I can play with them everywhen, wether in a bad or cheerful condition.
Holiday has gone, today I'm not Junior High School anymore. This is the first day that I used grey-white uniform as a Senior High School student. With a lot proud, now I school at SMAN SUMSEL (Sampoerna Acadaemy) which is a boarding school in Palembang, South Sumatera. In this school each student will involve in nine amazing house. I'm a sharkies. My beloved house is Shark. While, TERMINATOR is my class. TERMINATOR is Terrific Miracle Nation of Ten Four. This class such a crowded and fun class. However, togetherness make us so close like a family as well as my house.
back to basketball, in this school I started to join Basketball club, below is conversation that will flash me how would I join this club at the first ehwn there were club socialization in my school.
kak Pandji : "dek, let's join Basketball club dek. This is a good club to be have. come on dek, just join!"
me : "no kak, thank you, I have registered my name into Volley club, English club and Band club as well, I have three club alredy"
Kak Pandji : "that's fine dek, as long as the time to practice and attend the club is not in the same time, you can have more than three club"
me : "okay kak, let me think first"
actually I really want to join basketball club, but I couldn't leave Volley club as my opportunity to join basketball club, Band club is the way for me to continue my extracurilullar since I ever in Ninth grader, I'm a bassist in my band when I was Junior High School student. Meanwhile English club, I just want to try that club and also maybe with join that that, I can improve my English skill.
Back to the conversation above, finally I decided to join basketball club. My postpone dream to be apart in basketball club finally become a real. As fast as second which never stop, I've always practice basketball twice in a week which are saturday and sunday.
Time by time my skill is increasing. And I can shooting and throw the ball correctly into the ring. From 10 ball that I throw, seven of that ball can through pass the ring. I’m proud enough of it.
After six months has gone, there was DBL competition in Palembang. And my school would like to join that competition. It is a kind of great competition. Kak Ganta as a chieve of Basketball club was busy with the information and form to join that competition. Meanwhile us, as the participant of it was busy also, my group; kak Putri, Diah, Juliah, Kak Rahmadi, etc,... always practice basketball everyday in the afternoon. Even in the night, so we should cut our time to study night for practice basketball. My position is guard. After the ball is inserted into the ring, guard very important role here. Fast and more agile. But I need to focused on shooting, and generally the best shooters did play in this position. Good dribbling skills make us the second choice for the ball and lead the attack quickly. It’s not easy enough to be guard in this kind of game.
A week before the competiton was be held. There was a roadshow from DBL team and they came to my school, they explained us about the preparation of the competition itself. Not only that, there was also a game that involved the watcher as the participant of game itself. The rule in that game are; first, we should drive a motorcycle zig-zagly and pass the obstacle. Second, the motorcycle should pass the long plank and may not pass out of it. After the roadshow had done well, we directly do practising as well as usual.
The deadline of competition was coming up, after we arrived in PSCC, we waited first for our turn to have fight with the rival. Pak harno, bu Sally and bu Apri as our team’s manager and Kak Joni as our trainer escorted us during the competition. A slippery field made us unable to adapt and play smoothly. Moreover those surrounded by a rubber ring board that makes the ball will be thrown away if we throw the ball in a wrong direction. And as a result, we were lose. And we’re so crestfallen. But there is wisdom behind it all. And even though we lost, we made the race as an experience that gave us a lot of lessons.
And now, I still in that club and always attend the practice justlike usual. Hopefully next year I can join DBL competition again and win the competition. Basketball is a decent friend to be with.
