"It's not about win or lose but it's about how we survive and through it together". One of the best moment in my life where I tried to survive and through the challenges together with my family, Rhino House. I feel like I'm very lucky to be in this house, my second family here, in the dormitory. Fight, tears, and laugh are the things which mostly happen in our daily life. But who the fuck cares? That's what we called as family.
On 17th of April, the 4th intake of SMANSS Sampoerna Academy followed school's program for ten graders which is Leadership Camp. It was located in Lapangan TNI Angkatan Udara. The program was dedicated for those Indonesian Future Leaders. We were educated to learn many things living for about three days there with dicipline activities. On the first day, the armies said their welcome by doing opening ceremony which officially started at 09:40 and after that, we got LTBB lesson from them directly after the opening ceremony. And in the afternoon, we were shocked by their tradition for having lunch with them. They asked us to finish all the foods in less than 5 minutes with 1 glass of water for about 30 students and 'pisang rasa apel' will not be forgotten. The traditions will be continued for the next breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
On the next day, we were asked to create our own aircraft plane to be flied on the sky but unfortunately, our plane was flied very fast to land haha. We also learnt how to use night navigator because in the night we were going to do some special activities to know how smart we were on understanding the explanation at the evening before the activity started. And unfortunately, I was seperated from my house and I was in 'mix line' with other members from other houses which only two boys in our team. however we were seperated but we cooperated and trusted each other to be a good team and did it very well.
On the night before the last day, we waited the instructions from the mentors for doing night hiking inside of the camp. They asked us to sleep first then they woke us up suddenly to be in lines and did night hiking with our house. they woke us up at 23:30 and the first house who started the hiking is dolphin house which is arranged by alphabet and unfortunately Rhino house is the last-2nd-house who would go to the fight field so we just waited, sat on th wet-grass for doing it. And at 01:40 in the too-early-morning we started to walk. There was M. Aprizal Saputra in the front of the line to lead us as the boy-House Captain. We walked to the first post to be punished by the teachers stayed there to test our mentals and 'korsa soul'. And walked around the tomb to look for our house slayers and we got many shocking traps from the 'ghost' there. And on the last post which is evaluation post, we introspected ourselves by getting mocks and praise from other members so we can introspect each other to be more solid.
One the last day, 19th of April we joined outbond to play many meaningfull games for our personal leadership role. And continued by the closing ceremony and the announcement of nine core values-person and also the best house on leadership camp.
Again and again, however we didn't get that chance to be nine core values-person or even the best house, we are still family. We still support, help, and trust each other to be the solidest house. We've got many things to learn and know more about each other. Thanks for the lessons, ka Doddy and the rests. Thanks for Leadership Camp. Thanks for all the people who has been included. Thanks for my beloved Rhino house. You are ROCK! :')
