Everyone Can Start a Change

I’m taking social class in my school as my major, and I have a fun class although some teacher dislike our class because a few person in my class get into trouble with the teachers often. Most of the person who get in trouble sit at the back of the class so they often sleep in class or maybe skipping class sometimes. Basically from all of the social class my class is the most popular class among the teacher. But, actually my class is quite a good class. It’s only 3 or 4 people who likes to make noise or getting into trouble with the teachers and because of that the teachers dislike our class which I think is not a wise action. As a teacher they should understand this simple problem and must know how to deal with them.

At first I also think that they who likes to make trouble is the bad guy at my class.But I still try to socialize with them and later on I found out that they also smoke and drink beer or something like that and it makes even worse impression on them. But still unlike some of my friend who become “anti” to them, I try to know them some more, I still joke around with them without getting influenced by their bad behavior. In the mid term their score is below standard and the teachers warned them that if this continues they will have to study one more year in Senior High School 2. Actually this is not the first time teachers warned them.

In this term which is the final term I found out that they are not a real bad guy. I realize this when we’re having exams and the teacher seated me at the back. I know that these guy can’t do a single question and from my experience, my friends will definitely look at my answers or maybe ask me directly without any doubt. But they don’t. Even when I ask them if they could do it or not they answered “Nevermind, just do yours we are fine... we will try to figure it out later.” When the teacher are not looking I try to help them because I know they will not be able to figure it out. I only manage to help them with 1 question. After the exam they all say thanks to me like I just saved their life from a disaster even that they know they will not pass the exam with just 1 correct answer.

Later on, I’m interested in getting close with them and I found out another thing about them. I found out that they have a big intelligence in particular thing. One of them has started a small business by selling football jerseys, bags, shoes, etc. Another one is working in a Computer shop and is good at programing, there is also one who make money from selling car’s accessories. And their personality is good, although sometime they use rude words. I manage to be a good friend with one of them who’s good at computer thing and he plan to study abroad, so me and my friends help him to study although we ourselves are not an expert in school sudjects and his achievement now is getting a lot better. He never skip classes anymore and his score is now in the standard.

What I’m trying to say here is, when someone don’t give you a good impression don’t just judge them as bad guy or something like that, don’t be anti to them, answer them when they ask something, explain when you know something that they don’t. If they smoke or have another bad habit just warn yourself and strengthen yourself not to follow their habit, it’s all about choice anyway. Maybe me and my friends just manage to change one person and he’s not fully changed, but at least he become better than what he used to be. I never say to him to thank me or give me credit from helping him or anything like that. Watching him having a better score and is happy with what he achieve is a really satisfying thing for me. If me and my friend can make someone do better imagine if we all can do the same, how many people can be better? And it will make the world even better someday.

In conclusion "Everyone Can Start a Change, At least for Themselves"
