A Great
Head is Just like an Avatar
Bring
Balanced to the World
Indonesia is known as the
Asian’s largest archipelagic nation which uses democracy system. Democracy
means of the people, by the people and for the people. As a democratic country
Indonesia promotes the interests of its people, restore the decision into the
hands of the people, and subject to majority.
But nowadays, the meaning
of democracy increasingly misused by the people and leaders of the State. With
the excuse of 'democracy', many of the people who staged a demonstration. As
for the leaders, they are competing to get the highest power through society
vote. A concrete example can be seen in the general election. No question, it
is clear that there is a general election had been unfair, whether selection of
instruments of government, village, or other device. Vote less, play back, and etc.
are coloring elections in our country. This happens because the goals and the
way from the beginning were wrong. The purpose of the candidate is power, and
the way in which politics is black.

Unlike what happened in
SMAN 10 Malang (Sampoerna Academy) International Boarding School. Besides
academic education we also learn about leadership. Not just theory, practice
real leadership applied in school and dormitory life. Selection committee
chairman and chairman of the student council is one obvious example.
Elections conducted in a
transparent and really ‘luberjurdil’. Campaign carried out is really a big
influence whether or not a candidate was selected, because the candidates'
campaign the vision and mission and are required to answer questions that given
by public. From the answers we can look how wise enough them in response to a
problem. From here we can see a side of 'democracy', where people have the
right to speak. After that the public has the freedom to choose their own
choice, without previous authorization or 'bribes' of the candidate.
Furthermore, counting of votes is done in front of the school, so transparency
became clear. In addition, if there is a discrepancy in the committee did not
decide by their self but return the decision to the school society. Finally,
after knowing who the candidate with the most votes, the elected candidate and
the other candidate shaking hands with each other and encourage each other, it
shows that any candidate who is not elected as the chairman can tolerant. That
picture of the general election is in SMAN 10 Malang (Sampoerna Academy)
International Boarding School.

The candidate got question from audience and should answer it before the time over |
How do you think about
image above? Whether elections are run in our school is very good and fair?.
Compared with the general election in society, elections in SMAN 10 Malang more
structured and fair, without any competition that characterizes dirty, and
leaders who thoroughly deserved as a role model. Do you know about the animated
film The Avatar? Main character in the film, the Avatar is a figure that is
believed to bring balanced to the world. Likewise with our leaders, who should
be able to bring balance in this country, especially in terms of the balance of
justice. Therefore, if we want to have a fair leader, choose them in a fair
manner as well. If your actions inspire others
to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader-John Quincy Adams
