Algebra

        "I hope my group will not be in algebra", this was what my seatmate always telling me. Indeed, she was not really in the Algebra group but I am. I was not disappointed nor been worried about my group because I love Algebra before. That was before and I am hoping to bring it back even when it already seems impossible for me to love to such a difficult topic. At first, I have no idea on what to do with this topic until it was explained.

        In every group activities, I admit that I enjoyed it even if I didn't performed well. I learned a lot from my groupmates and I also learned to worked with them. When it comes to group activity, cooperation was always there. We open our minds to others and also gave suggestions. With the help of everyone, we had created the Arrows and Ladders game. We had assigned the rules of every members in this particular game. While others were making questions, I was assigned to made the drawing of the arrows and the ladders to be played by the players. Even though it was not as fun compared to the game of the other group, we still felt satisfactions on our game.

      The next part of our activity was the debate. This was a bad luck for me. I admitted that I haven't done any preparations for this activity. I was not there during the preparations since I am not living in the dormitory and most of my groupmates were dormers. To contribute a help  to my group, I decided to find a video presentation. When the presentation of the debate came, I still tried to participate. I thought that I was really performing so badly that I was been told by my teacher to stop with the sense of disappointment. I was so embarrassed and I felt sorry for my group. When the debate was over, we presented the video that I  got from youtube. It was not really creative but it was fun. We also performed a sing and dance presentation. It was indeed successful even though we were not having a good voices.

      At the end, I realize that it wasn't an impossible thing to love mathematics. We can easily appreciate things when we knew the beauty inside it. While doing an activity about algebra, I've seen what was really an algebra was. Its beauty revealed to me and seems like my perception to algebra before came back to my mind.
