Raise Squad for a Better Generation
The most precious moment is when you can spend your time not only to have
fun with your friends but also
to
gather experience to create your competencies at the same time. Your youth will never return, so you must fulfill
it by doing
useful activities. There are so many ways to fulfill your youth in positive
activities and “PASKIBRA” is one of these examples. I believe that being a flag raise squad (PASKIBRA) member
will give you three things that you can't get from other activities which are
nationalism awareness, leadership skills and self esteem.
The first benefit
from joining flag raise squad (PASKIBRA) is nationalism awareness. Nowadays,
many teenagers give more respect to anything that comes from abroad such as
fashion, culture, food, dance, etc. This fact is caused by the ignorance from
young generation to explore and to learn more about domestic wealth. In
addition, the subject in school which teaches about nationalism such as “PPKn”
is mostly delivered in boring ways. If you want to compare, flag raise squad
(PASKIBRA) is like a book that will give a lot of knowledge. Of course, a book
will work if there is someone who reads it. In flag raise squad (PASKIBRA), you
will know the legal size of national flag. It is a crucial point because the
size of national flag at every school has a different size, whether it is
smaller or bigger and it is wrong. You will also know how to fold the flag
correctly and also how to raise it to the top of a pole. Moreover, flag raise
squad (PASKIBRA) will teach you that national anthem of Indonesia has a
different tone which many people
sing it in the wrong way. As Soekarno said “great nation is a nation that
honors its heroes’ services”.
Those words should make you realize that heroes’ struggle have to be
remembered. As a student, you just have to do a simple activity but the
activity must have a deep meaning like joining flag raise squad (PASKIBRA). By
joining it, you will have duty in the ceremony. Even if you just hear the
national anthem deeply, you will feel the feeling that your heroes’ struggle
was not easy.
Besides nationalism
awareness, flag raise squad will give you leadership skills. In these days,
many teenagers skip a thing that is very important not only for themselves but
also for their country. This problem triggers teenagers’ behavior to prefer to
be a worker than a leader. Moreover, at school students get less knowledge
about leadership skills that gives more proof to it. However, by joining flag
raise squad (PASKIBRA), you will be taught how to improve your leadership
skills given from God to you. Furthermore, you will automatically improve your
leadership skills like leading the squad either in trainings or in a ceremony. There are some people who say that Indonesia has crisis in leaderships.
This problem could be solved if you join flag raise squad (PASKIBRA) because in
flag raise squad (PASKIBRA), your character will be formed to be a leader by
mental attitude development. However, you don’t have to worry because the
pressure will not be excessive because the trainers or senior know the limit of
the pressure. The future leaders of Indonesia need a great mentality. So as a student, you can start it by joining flag
raise squad (PASKIBRA).
Finally, the benefit
of joining flag
raise squad is developing your self-esteem. Self-esteem is a thing that every
human has. However, most of you just like to hide it deeply in yourself. If you
can develop it well, you may change this country. Oprah Winfrey is one of the
examples. Coming from Afro-America family, she has been one of the most popular
presenters recently. Of course, self esteem is one of the secrets because she
can prove her quality. This activity will improve you to get confidence and
determination from other people’s success like sharing with government if you
get the chance by winning a competition in a national level. Even your seniors are
successful persons. You can also reap that lesson because seniors definitely
will share their success on his career to cheers their juniors. Besides that,
flag raise squad (PASKIBRA) will make you brave to speak in front of people.
This character will be created in yourself because by joining flag raise squad
(PASKIBRA) you will once lead your squad. Of course, when you want to lead a
squad you have to be brave to speak in front of people. There is a quote stated
“practice makes perfect”
that will stick into your character if you join flag raise squad (PASKIBRA)
Therefore, as student
you are supposed to
have to think further about your future country because students or the next generation are the most important thing for a country.
To build a good personality
of the generation, you can join flag raise
squad (PASKIBRA) because by joining it, you will learn not only how to march but also how to get nationalism awareness,
improve your leadership skills and improve your self-esteem. It is time for you
to be part of a
better generation and may change the fate of this country.
