good experience

My name is Rendy, i study management at gunadarma university, now i am in 2nd semester. I want to share my story to you all, this is the story about my final exam scores when I was on 3^rd class at senior high school. I studied at al-azhar, kemang pratama, Bekasi. The story began at my graduation day. I don’t know what will happen with me on that day, it felt like a normal day. I woke up in the morning at 5 o’clock, somehow I felt so happy, and then I took a shower and prayed subuh. Then I prepared my clothes, and wear my clothes, after that I ate my breakfast with my parent. At 8 o’clock my parent and me went to the school at central Al-Azhar, south Jakarta. When I arrived I was little late, but it was no problem, I am still allowed to enter the conference hall. And then the ‘party’ began, the opening was the choir from my school, they sang our hymn, then followed by a speech from the headmaster, shortly the headmaster began to read any students who excel, from six classes on 3^rd class, then turn to my class, who gets the first rank in my class has been mentioned, then unexpectedly headmaster called my name, which means I get a second rank, it was very surprising to me and my parents, after my name was called I had to go onto the stage to receive awards for my achievements. That was a very exciting moment for me and I will never forget it.
