Episode 4


In the PKL place I learned about how to disassemble and repair the computer not only I was also taught how to fix the printer and install windows.


During the PKL I met many people who had different \-different natures and behaviors, so I got so many lessons and life experiences that I had never had.


After undergoing PKL for 3 months we were finally invited by the head of the department to return to school and carry out teaching and learning activities as usual, after studying for several months we also took the XII class improvement exam, in class XII this is where we taught diligently to prepare for the vocational competency exam, the exam which was only done at SMK, which was conducted, for children who attend High School may be the UN exam that is feared by them but for us children who attend SMK the UKK exam is what we fear because the UKK exam is the determining test of whether we are successful in vocational learning or not.


Not only did we study hard on our \-day in school, we filled it with positive\-activity, we who had rarely sat together and joked, we were once very happy, during class XII we often sat together and joked during break hours, so we had a wonderful\-memory when we graduated from school.


The \-days go by so quickly I feel like it was only yesterday that I became a new student and met friends \-friends and teachers that I already consider to be family, but just a few more months left I had to leave them all behind and continue with my life goals.


It was actually hard for us to part with each other but in the meeting there would be a separation, we had to part ways to continue our respective life goals \- each of us even though we are separated by space and distance but we can still communicate through mobile phones.


After a few months, our day\-day in class XII filled with learning then the day we were waiting for arrived was the day \-day where we had to take the exam, exam\- our test was done with a question\-question that was enough to make our brains spin, some days we went through finally just a test UKK.


In our school the UKK exam was done for one day, because the computers in our school were limited, more students than computers finally we were divided into two waves when I was in the second wave. Not only computer repair majors who run UKK but automotive majors also run UKK because our school has two majors, the two majors do the exam on the same day but only the way and the room are different, but, if we who are majoring in computer repair do an exam in their computer lab which majoring in automotive also do an exam in their workshop which is in school.


Before the test began we prayed together and encouraged each other, after we finished praying and encouraged each other the first wave came in and carried out their test, we were waiting for them to come out with mixed feelings while continuing to pray.


It's not just us who have difficulty in taking exams those who are automotive majors also have difficulty but because we are in different fields so we don't have the same difficulties.


After all the students of class XII conducted the vocational competency exam the teacher also told us to gather in the field to listen to the announcement to be made, after all gathered one of the teachers then made an announcement that “ results from the vocational competency exam were told on the same day so that all students are not allowed to go home”.


Those of us who heard the announcement were nervous again and our hearts were racing too, long waiting for the results of our test that had felt our heart beating fast and nervous then changed to boredom, we then went to kantin and joked, he said, playing the guitar to reduce our boredom, after a long wait and boredom at the top level finally one of the teachers told us all to gather in the field and then all the teachers and supervisors came out of the office to the field to tell exam results.


After delivering the preamble finally arrived the moment we had been waiting for, the, our supervisor said “ all class XII passed in UKK “ exam not only our supervisor who supervises the students of automotive exam UKK also said the same thing, we all XII classes both automotive and computer repair in the school field cry and scream together not only we teachers who hear it also happy at that time only looks happy just.


On one side there is happiness and on the other side there is sadness this taste mixed into one that is teardrops, tears, it is true that people do not be too happy because if we are too happy we will also cry out of sadness, we are happy to pass the UKK exam then we look at teacher \- the teacher's facial expression that had been laughing radiated happiness immediately turned into a sad face because of separation, after the UKK exam we no longer come to school every day as we usually do, as we usually do, usually we come in the morning and go home during the day to study and meet friends \-friends, yes we will come but not for a long time only briefly and not every day just once \- once not like the school that was from morning until noon.


We are all in class XII who are still in the field with sadness and even crying approaching the entire teacher council, then we saluted and apologized for the stubbornness we did during our time at the school we loved, not just us who cried even the entire board of teachers also cried.


After the salaman and apologizing we then went home each.
