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.

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.

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.

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.
