The month December is well known for the Christmas. It is one of the biggest celebrations in a year. Many of the stores might give big sale and discount. Many people might also focus on having vacation with their family and their relatives. Some other people might also spend their time by going abroad. More than that, the Christmas itself is always well known for snow, even though not all countries are experiencing snow in December. In some countries, such as America, they might always spend their Christmas time with the snow, but for some other countries, such as Australia, their Christmas might be spent with the hot climate.
If people are having their own activities to be done in Christmas, our school is also having its own activities. On December 2009, our school was having the program Santa for Angel. In this program, we would go to some orphanages and then made some data about them. After that, a card would be published in our school and it would be put in a Christmas tree. Some of the students then might wanted to take the cards. Once they took the cards, it means that they had to adopt that child. They should give something to the child written there. After some weeks, the students would submit the gifts and then our school would bring the gifts for the orphan.
In this program, my friends and I were going to the orphanages, took some of their data, and then gave them some care packages. Some of the babies looked very funny, some of the children looked happy, and some others also looked scared. However, when we left the orphanage, some children were still looking for us, liked they did not want us to go.
After that, my friends and I had to make the cards. We had to design the cards by ourselves and we had to wait for Mr. Iskandar to print it. Then, after some weeks, we had to again re-arrange the gifts from the students. We had to grouped it based on the orphanages, and then checked whether all of the gifts already submitted or not.
When I did this activity, I feel very thankful to God that I can have both my parents and I can have a good school. If we look at the orphan in the orphanage, we might then feel pity on them. They are not well supplied and they need to be loved also. However, just because they are orphan does not mean that we can underestimate them. The orphans are also having their own ability, talent, and potential. We still have to respect them since we, as human, are still having some weakness also. Always be humble and respect others. In fact, when we can cooperate well with them, we might then develop our country to be a better country.
