THE SPIRIT OF THE HERO

The morning, as well as early mornings, a number of people walks down the path to the riverside that flows quite deras during the rainy season. The arrogant of a diverse person crosses the river by sowing to the water while upholding the bag and shoes so that it is not free.

Don’t be wrong, they are not the vanity of farmers to the field of rice but they are the teachers who are departing towards the elementary school in remote villages in Jombang Regency, East Java that can only be achieved by walking during the rainy season. In the dry season, teachers can still cross the river that water shrinks with motor vehicles or bicycles, but when the rainbow season arrives the river water overflow, as a result they must first set the bike in a place, and should continue the journey by walking for approximately 1.5 hours invigorating the path to the SDN Pojok Klitih III school location in Dusun Nampu, Plandaan District.

They Agus Subekti (54), Trisno (52), Karmun (34), Laila (35), Khoirul (29) has been teaching for five years in the remote place, while the other two still united the teaching power is not fixed. Every day should be invented by his educed child amounts to 16 students in schools around 50 kilometers from Jombang city. Although the condition of the school is still simple, but the students remain enthusiastic to demand sciences such as other school students.

Given the remote location and difficult to reach, the student’s learning hours are forced to be adapted to the weather conditions, if the sky looks protected and will rain, then the students should go home faster, the teachers don’t want to take a risk, because most of the school students reside far from the school and must cross the river to reach the school. It is very dangerous if the river water is higher and the deras due to the falling rain.

The ending story of the teachers who devote itself in remote areas is indeed always cultivating necessities, not excluded at the end of this Jombang Regency. The spirit of the elementary school of SDN III Pojok Klitik is as if it becomes a mirror how the spirit of the archipelago has never been massaged from the sanubari of any teacher and as well as the title of heroes even without the sign of service.
