MY PRECIOUS EXPERIENCE

Sunday, August 14th, 2011. It was a special day that I would never forget. On that day,
Ive became the delegation of my Islamic boarding school to join a writing seminar. It was my
first experience as a student of Islamic boarding school. I was a student of Nurul Hidayah
Islamic boarding school that located in Purworejo Regency. The writing seminar was organized
by Suara Merdeka and it was tittled by Gerakan Santri Menulis, Sarasehan Jurnalistik Ramadan
2011. The seminar took place at An-Nawawi Islamic boarding school, the other Islamic
boarding school that located on Berjan, a village in Purworejo Regency.

Before started to join the seminar, my friend and I must registered ourself and took a
seminar kit and some merchandise. I talk to myself that I would kept it as a reminder of this
precious experience. After registration was completed, we went to the seminar room. Not took
much time, at 9.30 a.m. the seminar started.

The first session is a presentation of UNISULA team. There was many information to
remember. They was talked about their university. I was surprised, it was a university
socialization. But, I just dont cared about it. After that, there was a presentation of UNWAHAS
team to socialize their information, just liked before. Its not only UNWAHAS and UNISULA,
but also Telkom Speedy, Indosat as the sponsor gived their information. I was confused, this was
a seminar or a socialization of campus. But, I just continued the seminar.

At 12 a.m, all participants prayed Dzuhur together, but boys and girls prayed in the
different place. After that, we went to seminar room again to continue the seminar. On this
session, we have a presentasion from Suara Merdeka team. There was jurnalistic teaching from
Suara Merdeka especially about writing. At the end of the session, the presentation team gave the
partisipants a writing game to practice the lesson. The winner will be announced later.

At 4 p.m, we prayed Ashar and took a rest for 15 minutes. After that, we went to the
room again to continue the seminar. There was an anouncement about the winner of the writing
game. Unfortunately, the winner wasnt us, not me or my friend. But we still happy with it.

At 5.45 p.m, we Buka Bersama and prayed Maghrib together. Finally, my friend and I
went back to our Islamic boarding school. I was very tired, but It was very exciting day. Im very
proud could be the part of that great event. It was a precious experience in my life.
