Zywalleni Porajow, MIS: My Second Home

TRIBUNMANADO.CO.ID - My beloved Manado Independent School (MIS) molds me to be who I am today.

It’s been 9 fantastic years since I started my journey in this institution, and until now, MIS makes me feel that it is my second home.

I still reminisce the first time I arrived at MIS for kindergarten, I had barely any knowledge, most especially on speaking English.

However, with the help of my MIS teachers I'm pleased to say that now, I have gotten very comfortable with the language.

I will always be truly grateful to MIS for that aspect of my life.

Indeed, MIS helps me to bloom and grow to the individual I am now.

When you have stayed for nearly a decade at a school, you also get to see its improvement.

I witnessed and experienced firsthand how MIS improves.

With the improvement of the facilities and programs, us, students also learnt well.

It gives us a chance at its well-known facilities, and beneficial programs.

Since I was in second grade, I’ve been looking forward to the camping program particularly, that is only available to 4th grade and above.

Truth be known, I have yet to be disappointed each year; the activities prepared are always a thrill, especially my favorite, the track and trail.

Aside from camping, MIS also prepares other programs which allow each student to grow and be a better individual.

In particular, the Week of Prayer which allows us, students, to see how God works in our life and strengthen our faith in Him, the charity events that encourage us to lend a hand to those who are in need, the concerts that hone our skills and talents, and all the other programs that are always entertaining and valuable for the students growth.

Another thing I am forever grateful to MIS for is the chance I have been given to participate in various competitions.
