NO PAIN, NO GAIN
Keira kept torturing me today, and she told me to do one of the things in the book, I also read about it and laughed because it told me to calculate the average acceleration of the motion of the apple that fell to the ground. It wasn't important, but this smile was gone when Keira looked at me.
I tried to solve it, but I didn't know how to do it. Just staring and staring.
Albert Einstein, a German theoretical physicist once said. "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by the way it climbs a tree, it'll believe it's stupid." I totally agree about it. I don't understand why I have to do this either. Calculate the speed of apples that fall to the ground.
If I think back, it's not important and useful to me. Because I know, I'm going to have a career in another field. That is taking over the legacy company of Dad who is engaged in the entertainment industry.
What an irony, our education system. A system that emphasizes equality. And stigmatize that different is wrong and not good. How can each person who is different, must have the same value. A farmer cannot turn rice into corn. Because rice is rice, so is corn.
Because of this, it can stimulate students to lose their confidence. And consider himself a fool, for he is not
can master certain subjects. Because it could be, the reason behind it wasn't because he was stupid, but it wasn't a field
or just his talent. And it happened in me.
The school should guide children to develop intelligence, talent and all the potential of students for the success of their lives.
Seeing me having trouble doing that. Keira brought herself closer to me, and stared at it.
“For this problem, you have to use the average acceleration formula.” Said Keira.
I just pretended to understand while nodding my head and staring at it again and remaining silent for a long time. I really didn't understand Physics, and I gave up on this unimportant matter. Seeing that, Keira also brought herself closer and tried to help me to solve the problem.
“And I told you, to answer this using the average acceleration formula. What's the average acceleration formula?” Ask Keira.
I just kept quiet, because I didn't know what the average acceleration formula was, while I saw Keira still staring at me and waiting for my answer.
“I don't know.” My answer.
Keira just exhaled, and told me that the average acceleration formula, the change in speed for the time change. But after hearing that, I just kept quiet because I didn't understand how to work on it. Seeing that, Keira put her pen on the table and looked at me.
“You are rich gini, I do not guarantee that we will be class 3.” Said Keira.
“Kok is?” My toot.
“Because you will not be riding Rasya class, repeat in a moment!” Keira said with a serious face.
I just bowed lethargic, and realized how stupid I was. All this time I never studied seriously, because for me the school is only a place to burn my time.
“Hmmm, nyontek same Roni.” My answer.
Roni was my best friend, before the rotation of the classroom seating. I've been with him since first grade, and I've been cheating on him all along.
“You know what? roni's rank is below you. You're ranked 39, right? Roni ranking 40.” Keira said with annoyance.
I also do not think about that fact, I always cheat from Roni but my value is always greater than him. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about it, but I also don't understand why it happened. And when I looked at Keira, she was still looking at me with the same gaze, which was a look full of annoyance.
“Yeah Rasya, make a cheat only you are wrong.” Keira said with a serious face.
I just bowed lethargic and did not dare to look at him, I slightly did not understand his behavior today. This is the first time he has ever questioned my value.
“Can't be rich gini, here's your cigarette!” Keira said to ask for my cigarette.
I don't understand Keira's intentions either, why she asked for my cigarette. I just silently looked at him, in the midst of my confusion, Keira kept pressing with her hand to give her my cigarette.
I just followed him and gave him the cigarette after picking it up in the bag. Keira then held the cigarette, and looked back at me.
“Wallet!” Keira said to ask for my wallet.
Like I was hypnotized, I just agreed. And took the wallet in my pants pocket and gave it to him. With a pack of cigarettes and my wallet in his hand, Keira looked back at me.
“Two of these items seized.” Keira said with a serious face.
“Hah, how come?” My toot.
“From now on, you can not smoke or snack before you write one formula and one understanding or term about the lesson.” Answer Keira.
Keira then put my cigarette and wallet into her bag, on the other hand I just touched to look at her. I didn't understand his attitude today, but I realized that I would be in trouble if there weren't 2 of those items in my life. I racked my brain and looked for a way to undo his intentions.
“Ongkos bus how?” My toot.
“I thank you, every day to go back home aja.” Answer Keira.”
“Kalo I want to eat and in the middle of the night? manyu.”
“I will bring provisions for you, and if you are hungry you just heat it up. You yes, snacks outside mulu, not healthy know.” Answer Keira.
I just stared at Keira, and I realized that this was the beginning of my hell. At first I did not take Keira's intentions seriously. But Keira really did what he said.
