Tempe High School Graduation

Congrats to the Class of 2012! We did it!
I went from being in ESL to IB. Same as Seminary, I had many memories and made lots of friends.
Freshman year, I did not have many friends except for church friends. I spent most of my lunch time with Eric Kendall. I was in 5 ESL classes, so it`s understandable that I did not know lots of friends ;) + I just moved from Indonesia, so I was still trying to adapt to my new environment. My favorite teacher of this year was Ms. Ferguson.
Sophomore year was pretty memorable. I graduated from ESL and went straight to Honors English class. I gained more friends from just being in one honors class. I also took Honors Pre-Calculus. I was also involved in Robotics club and got to travel with the members to Atlanta Georgia. Favorite teacher.... hmmm.... Mr. Snyder.
Junior year..... more honors classes and even IB classes. I loved them so much! Of course... I met more new friends. I just loved it! Favorite teacher: Mr. Mowery. He helped me through the IB Math SL. Love him!
Senior year........ went very fast..... and Graduation day was the day we looked forward too... and it had already been here!!!!! We DID it! We made it through all the obstacles in these last four years!

I couldn`t believe that I had a PIMPLE! I was so upset! I had a pimple on my prom date too! It seemed l tended to get very nervous in these type of occasions... 

pretty curly hair was done by Victoria Hickox... What would I do without her.... You`re great!

High School is now over. It`s time to move on and be a freshman again ;) There are so many things waiting in front of us. I believe we will succeed if we stay focus on our goals.. We can do this Class of 2012! See you at the reunion! 

Seminary Graduation

Seminary Graduation was on May 23, 2012. 4 years have gone with 4 different teachers. Freshman year with Brother Blackwell. He was an awesome teacher. My mom and I walked from home to the seminary building for the first few weeks since we were still very new in the U.S, but then we did not have to walk back home because brother Blackwell offered us a ride home (I hadn`t started school yet). He shared life stories and lessons every Fridays. He always reminded us to "Watch Our Language." Gotta  love him!
Sophomore year with Sister Garrett. Every morning my dad would drop me off at her house, then I would ride with her to the seminary building. One time we found a dead scorpion near the piano bench. The other time, we had an unusual visitor (a bird came inside the class room and that happened twice). She taught wonderful lessons and made learning so much fun and enjoyable. Love her to death!
Junior year with Brother McNeil. He has the cutest little boy ever. He also loved to tease each and everyone of his students. Just like Sister Garrett, he made learning so much fun and enjoyable. He kept us awake throughout the class. Love him so much!
Senior year with Brother Martin. I just loved hearing all his extreme missionary stories. He provided us food for every Fridays. Awesome just like others!

There are so many memories in Seminary. From being asked to speak at the Seminary Orientation five hours before the meeting, play the piano almost everyday (even sometimes a whole straight week),  asked to offer the benediction at the Seminary Graduation Ceremony, and more.

Sophomore year!

I`m just so glad that I had the opportunity to attend Seminary. Not only have I gained more knowledge about the Gospel, but I have also strengthened and made new friendships with new friends in Seminary.

Monday Night Activity

So.... since we haven`t played Wii for few months, last Monday we decided to play it. Well, my family`s favorite sport on Wii is bowling. My dad and I always want to win the game.

Mom tried to concentrate :)

Dad was soooooooo serious.

Look what I got dad...... 1st place.... yup! That`s right!

Mom is the same too..... SERIOUS!
(She wants to win the game too ;)

Good job mom!

(Ok, I can do this) 

This was the mood in our home.

Unfortunately, I did not win this time :( Dad won. Next time, I`ll win Dad....

That was our Monday night activity. We love doing stuff together and will always be together. I hope you enjoy being with your family too!

New Blog & Updates

Hi everyone! I keep journal but have been very lazy writing in it, so I figure having a new blog will excite me to record my life.
New updates: I will be graduating from Tempe High School this Thursday May 24, 2012. I will then stay here for awhile then go to Idaho for EFY then come back to go to Indonesia. After the trip, I will be back in Idaho to attend BYU-Idaho. I`m so excited for these upcoming events. I hope I can go through and have new experiences.
Right now, I`m looking for a job, so anyone of you who finds job openings, I would like to know :)
Thank you for those who support me. I need those supports.
