Today was my first day to work. I worked in education world, but not in ministry or department of education. It was in school. Yes, I’m a teacher.

After I finished my study as a collage, I got information about school that needed a person to help there. I tried to apply and two days ago I was invited to interview.

The principle asked me to come today. I was preparing my stuff that I brought. I put them on my bag.

“dad, mom, I am going now.” I said to my parents

“be careful.” They answered and I rode my motorbike.

I rode my motorbike to my work place happily. This was my first work in an office. Even though it was school, it could be called office too.

I arrived early. Only a few persons in that place. The janitor, some students and their parent that accompanied them. The students were so cute because they were about 4 to 5 years old. Yes, I went to kindergarten school.

“you can park your motorbike in parking lot!” the janitor asked me when I parked my motorbike out of the gate.

“can I?” I asked uncertainly

“yes, you can.” He replayed with smile

“where can I park my motorbike?” I asked politely

“you just ride you motorbike and the parking lot was behind this building.” He gave me an instruction to go into the gate.

“okay, thank you.” I nodded and rode my motorbike.

I went into the gate and looked for the parking lot. I found it and park my motorbike. I put my helmet on my motorbike and I walked to the teachers’ room.

Because the teachers’ room was still quite and nobody there, I walked near the gate with my bag on my shoulder. I walked to front of the one of classes.

There was a little girl there and I tried to close her. This girl was cute. This was my first time met children. I never met children before, except my sibling or cousin.

She wore uniform, shoes and brought bag. I always saw people were same age with me. We wore uniform, shoes and brought bag, it was usual . But, it was so funny and cute when I saw children wore those stuffs. They looked like children with adult’s stuff.

I sat beside her. I smiled to her. She just kept silent.

“hello, what is your name?” I asked her to start communication

She just stared me silently. Needed a few seconds for her to answer my question.

“my name is Dilla.” She answered with her cute voice. Typically children’ voice

“hmm… Dilla, how old are you?” I asked her

“my old is 4 years.” She answered

“4 years, it’s mean you are A group, isn’t it?” I said and Dilla just nodded.

I though Dilla was typically silent child. She must be asked so that she could speak more. Just like me. I was a silent person. I would speak if people asked me questions. It was when I was at new environment.

“why do not you play with your friend in the playground?” I asked her and Dilla only shake her head.

“who do accompany you at school?” I asked

“Mommy,” she answered and I nodded after hearing her answers.

There were many students that arrived. They looked really cute, because it was my first time saw many children.

There was a little girl that walked to my place. She put her bag beside me then went in front of me.

“hello.” She greeted me with her loud voice

“hello, what is your name?” I greeted and asked her.

“my name is Intan.” She answered

“are you Dilla’s friend?” I asked her

“no, I am not. She is A group and I am B group.” She answered by pointing her small finger to Dilla then herself.

“ohh… I see… “ I nodded

A few minutes later, there were many children had came and the teachers do to. The bell was ringing. It was mean that school would be start.

Every children gathered and they made a line neatly based on their group. One of the teachers stood in front of and lead them. They sang, said pledge and prayed. After that, they went into their own class to start their activity.

I followed them. I helped and one of teaches. She was Ida. I called her mrs. Ida.

“good morning children?” the teacher greeted cheerfully

“good morning ma’am,” answered the children cheerfully too

“how are you today?” she asked

“I am fine thank you, and you?” said the children

“I’m fine too, thank you.” Said the teacher

“ma’am, who is this girl?” one of little boy point me

“ohh.. This is new teacher. She will help me here.” She said

“what is your name?” she asked me

“my nama is Kia.” I answered with smile

“okay, you can introduce yourself.” She said

“hello, good morning.” I greeted them nervously

“hello good morning,” they greeted too and all of them started to look at me. It was made me more nervous.

“my name is Kia. You can call me Kia.” I said

“children, you call her miss Kia, okay?” the teacher explain

“hello miss Kia,” a girl called me

“hello miss Kia,”  the others called me too

“hello,” I said them with smile

“miss Kia is beautiful.” One of little girl said

“thank you, you are beautiful too,” I praised her too

“okay, now, we can start our activity. Who want to play building police office?” the teacher asked

“I want ma’am,” every children said

“ma’am, I want to build police office with the car.” One of little boy said

“me too. I want the policeman too.” The others boy said

The class become noisy because every children expressed their idea. Most of them said their idea, but there a few children just kept silent and listen.

I amused the teacher, Ma’am Ida, because she could manage the children and made them enjoyed in every activities. I learned many things in this place.
