Welcome.

This blog accounts my experiences and observations as a practice teacher at SMP 2 Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Indonesia. This collection provides descriptions of what I have learned through classroom observations, student interactions, and guidance from my mentors.

Acknowledgement.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported and guided me throughout my practice teaching internship. 

 

First and foremost, I express my sincerest appreciation to my university, West Visayas State University, for the opportunity bestowed upon me to have this invaluable experience. To Universitas Ahmad Dahlan, thank you for the warm accommodation and assistance throughout the whole internship. I would also like to thank SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta "Muchild" for giving us the chance to showcase and conduct our practice teaching. 

​

I would  like to give our deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Ma'am Rosemarie Felimon, Sir Michael Caesar Tubal, and Ibu Rohmatus Naini, whose constant check-ups, encouragement, and expertise have been instrumental in helping me understand the key competencies and responsibilities of a professional teacher.

 

To my resource teacher in Muchild, Miss Fajar, thank you for your invaluable mentorship and generosity in sharing your classroom experience. Your guidance, advice, and support have provided me with insights in the field of teaching which have inspired me to strive for excellence as a future educator. 

​

My special thanks go to my circle from the Philippines, my co-SEA Teacher interns, and Indonesian buddies whose constant motivation and camaraderie have made this journey more meaningful, enjoyable, and less exhausting. 

 

To my parents, siblings, and pamangkins, I am eternally grateful for your love, patience, and unending support, which have been our foundation and source of strength throughout this experience. 

 

Above all, we thank our Almighty Father for his spiritual support, guidance, and listener. He has blessed me with wisdom and strength which enabled me to grow, learn, and embrace the challenges of this field study with gratitude and determination. 

 

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Your support has left a lasting impact on my path as a future educator.
