LETTER FROM EDITOR As teenagers, we are often faced with prejudice. To most, we are just a bunch of idle, reckless, and complacent adults-to-be. To our predecessors, all Gen Z’ers fall into the category of screenagers, a rather self-explanatory portmanteau word. But the world tends to forget how much the youth matter. Pemuda adalah bibit dan benih perubahan. The youth are the seeds of change, and have always been instrumental in human progress for most of history. One sentence stuck with me throughout the process of creating this issue. It was something Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker) wrote in an article about the recent youth climate strike in New York City. “What power, what glory, to be young and filled with furious purpose!” (Yes, this is me subtly suggesting you, dear readers, to look for the article and read it for yourselves. Go on. Once you are done, you may come back.)
Here's a friendly reminder Alexander the Great was 20 years old when he claimed the Macedonian throne, established the largest empire in the ancient world, and heralded the Hellenistic epoch into existence. Louis Braille invented the Braille language for blind people like him when he was only 15. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein when she was 18. Malala Yousafzai became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate at age 17. Now, we have Jamie Margolin, Marley Dias, Sophie Cruz, Greta Thunberg, and many more. This is power. This is glory. This is youth. The youth did not crumble in the face of adversity even in the colonial period. Instead, they became the barometer for procession in an impossible setting. Progress took place in the form of Budi Oetomo, Tri Koro Dharmo, and Perhimpunan Indonesia among others. On October 28, 1928, the Sumpah Pemuda (the Youth Pledge) was issued, whereby representatives from various youth organisations and movements across the vast archipelago vowed to recognise only one motherland of Indonesia, one Indonesian people, and one Indonesian language. In light of Sumpah Pemuda Day, the Eunoia team selected Pemuda as our theme for the October 2019 issue. We hope to honor and highlight youth participation and contribution which has always been glossed over across the globe.

SURAT EDITOR
Pernyataan bahwa masa depan kita berada di tangan kita bukanlah sebuah bualan. Terima atau tidak terima, siap atau tidak, kita, pemuda Indonesia adalah penerus bangsa. Sudah tercatat dalam sejarah bahwa pemuda-pemuda Indonesia sangat berkontribusi dalam kemerdekaan Indonesia, bahkan pemuda Indonesia bagaikan pionir perjuangan kemerdekaan. Pemuda Indonesia bahu-membahu dengan golongan tua untuk mengusir penjajah dari tanah ibu pertiwi. Ingatkah kalian siapa yang meyakinkan Ir. Soekarno dan Drs. Mohammad Hatta untuk segera membacakan teks proklamasi pada tanggal 17 Agustus 1945? Tanggal 16 Agustus tahun 1945 pukul 03.00 WIB golongan muda dengan nekatnya menculik dua tokoh penting saat itu lalu membawanya ke Rengasdengklok untuk mendesak membacakan teks proklamasi pada keesokan harinya. Peristiwa itu disebut “so iconic�. Sikap pantang menyerah, patriotisme, dan nasionalisme yang ditunjukkan pemuda saat itu menjadi inspirasi dan suri teladan bagi kita untuk diterapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Perjuangan mereka telah usai. Saat ini kitalah yang akan melanjutkan perjuangan mereka. Perjuangan kita bukan melawan penjajah, melainkan melawan penjajahan dalam bentuk baru, yaitu tidak tampak kasatmata, seperti narkoba dan adiktif terhadap gawai. Sebagai pemuda masa kini, sudah selayaknya kita mengisi masa muda dengan segala aktivitas yang positif dan bermanfaat. Bisa kita mulai dari hal yang mudah, seperti meng-update diri dan pengetahuan tentang apa yang terjadi di Indonesia. Itu saja sudah membuktikan kita peduli terhadap Indonesia. Sayangnya, kesadaran kita dan budaya literasi masih rendah.
Untuk itu, mari kita luangkan waktu untuk membuka portal berita dan membaca berita terkini tentang negara kita sendiri. Start simple. Mulai dari hal kecil, seperti membaca berita yang kamu sukai, berita tentang musik dan seni Indonesia, olahraga,politik, atau isu-isu yang berkembang di Indonesia. Hal tersebut tidak akan menguras waktu kan? Dari situ terserah kalian mau ambil tindakan apa. Jika kalian peduli terhadap kondisi lingkungan, kalian bisa bergabung dengan organisasi seperti Bye Bye Plastic Bags yang dibuat oleh Isabel dan Melati Wijsen dari Bali. Selain itu, boleh juga kalian menyumbang untuk saudara-saudara kita di Sumatera dan Kalimantan yang menderita karena asap kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Hal itu disebabkan baik buruknya suatu negara dilihat dari kualitas pemudanya. Generasi muda adalah penerus bangsa. Generasi muda harus mempunyai karakter yang kuat untuk membangun bangsa dan negaranya, memiliki kepribadian tinggi, semangat nasionalisme, berintelektual, dan berjiwa saing secara global. Oleh karena itu, di isu kali ini, aku berharap kalian akan lebih terinspirasi. Terinspirasi untuk menjadi pemuda unggul dan berkarakter serta mampu meraih prestasi sehingga dapat mengharumkan nama Indonesia.
Jika lagu terurai tanpa nada namun dengan kata, biarkan surat editor ini dan isu majalah kali ini menjadi senandung tentang inspirasi, motivasi dan cinta untuk Indonesia dari kita pemuda.

sumpah pemuda WRITTEN BY YOHANNA PURNAMA ANWAR MUTALIB PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN FROM KOMPAS
On the 28th of October 1928 during the Second Youth Congress, young Indonesian nationalists declared the ‘Sumpah Pemuda’. The pledge consists of three ideals: one motherland, one nation and one language. The purpose of the Indonesian Youth Congress was to promote the idea of a united Indonesia, especially to youths all across the country, hoping to encourage them to have dreams regarding Indonesia earning its independence. The congress had a total of three sessions: the first discussed about unity, the second was about education and in the final session participants heard the ‘Indonesia Raya’ played on the violin. However, now the condition in Indonesia has changed as it has been ninety years since the pledge was declared. Are youths still upholding the Sumpah Pemuda? Has the people’s love for our country and culture diminished? These days youths may know more about other countries as compared to our own. Learning more about various countries and their culture can be beneficial for us. However that doesn’t mean that we should neglect our own, otherwise how can our country develop?
Youths need to be more involved in activities that can increase their love for their country. Perhaps we should get to know more about our national heroes. Perhaps we should reflect more on what our country would be like right now if it weren’t for their efforts. Perhaps we should allow ourselves to become inspired by Indonesia’s history and culture. We should use the knowledge that we’ve obtained from other culture in a way to inspire others about our own culture. For example, we could learn to animate a movie which is about Indonesia, just like the creators of the 2015 animated movie ‘Battle of Surabaya', also known as ‘November 10th’. The future is in the hands of the youth. We have the power to mould the future in the way we see it. Although it has been more than ninety years, we should still uphold the Sumpah Pemuda even if we do it a new and creative way, different from those before us.

FLORINE LUMINITA first started swimming at the age of five. Back then, she never imagined that she would turn out to be the athlete she is today since swimming was something she did strictly for fun. Her mom has always played a huge role in Florine’s life as a swimmer as she encouraged her to participate in a sport and there was a swimming team in school at the time. When I asked her if she had always wanted to become a swimmer, she answered with an honest no. She has always detested the multitude of drills and exercises she has to go through but has grown to love the company of her friends in the swim team. Her least favorite thing about swimming is the training, after all. To Florine, those moments whenever she finishes a race or routine in artistic swimming and realizes that she has made progress, and especially if she wins, are the most rewarding. Moreover, the budding friendships with other swimmers from other teams and countries and all the time she has spent with them always turn out to be the most indelible memories.
How does lifestyle, mindset and choices affect a person’s perception of growth? Florine defines growth as a learning process involving a positive change in her perspective on a certain issue. For instance, she used to think that competitions were such bothersome burdens, but now she sees that they are, in fact, opportunities for her to thoroughly evaluate her skills and work on certain areas that she is lacking in.
di balik kopiah hitam habibie WRITTEN BY JIHAN NILA SAFIRA PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN FROM THE HABIBIE CENTER
“Kopiah hitam bukanlah simbol suatu agama, ras, suku maupun budaya dan juga bukan hanya sebagai aksesoris semata para pemimpin pemerintah melainkan simbol jati diri bangsa.” Sebut sang proklamator pada saat itu. Saya tertarik membahas mengenai kopiah hitam Presiden ke-3, B.J.Habibie sang bapak teknologi Indonesia. Bagaimana kopiah hitam itu memberikan pesan yang tersirat bagi kita, anak bangsa Indonesia. Kopiah hitam tersebut menunjukkan kepada kita bagaimana kisah Rudy sebagai tokoh muda bisa memakai simbol jati diri bangsa—menjadi figur yang dihormati dan dikagumi banyak orang dari masa ke masa. Rudy bukanlah anak dari pejabat negara, anak jenderal ataupun anak miliuner. Dia berjuang, mencari cara agar bisa menggapai mimpinya walau ada keterbatasan ekonomi. Ia memiliki tekad yang besar dan kemauan yang kuat. Ia pemuda yang berpikiran luas, kreatif, inovatif dan kritis. Melalui karyanya ia dapat membanggakan Indonesia, mendorong Indonesia untuk maju. Pesawat N-250, pesawat R-80, pesawat C-130 Hercules dan Dornier Do 31 merupakan sebagian kecil dari karya yang dibuat olehnya. Ribuan teori mengenai pesawat dan ilmu pengetahuan teknologi ia berikan sampai kejeniusannya telah diakui dunia. Bagaimana dengan kalian pemuda? Apakah kalian bisa membuat perubahan yang baik untuk bangsa ini, mengambil pelajaran perjuangan kisah Habibie muda? Lihatlah apa yang dilakukan pemuda kita, mendatangi makam beliau hanya untuk mengambil foto untuk eksistensi. Perilaku apa yang kalian tunjukkan? Seharusnya sebagai generasi muda kita bisa berkarya dan berinovasi untuk membangun negara dan berperan aktif.
Bagaimana kita dapat berperan aktif? Berperan aktif dalam membangun negara atau memajukan bangsa sebenarnya tidak terlalu rumit, sebagai contoh adalah isu yang sedang trending saat ini mengenai penanganan sampah plastik. Memberikan inovasi seperti bagaimana kalian pemuda, menemukan bahan yang ramah lingkungan pengganti sampah plastik, bagaimana cara mengedukasi atau mendorong masyarakat untuk mengolah sampah. Sebenarnya banyak peluang inovasi baru yang dapat menyelesaikan masalah di Indonesia selain persoalan sampah plastik. Namun, jika tidak ada pergerakan apa hasil yang didapat. Wahai pemuda ingatlah pesan beliau, “Dalam hidup ini saya memiliki mental seperti orang yang bermain sepeda, bila saya tidak mengayuh sepeda maka saya akan jatuh, jika saya berhenti bekerja maka saya mati.” Dari pesan tersebut perlu diingatkan bahwa hidup itu ditangan kalian, pemuda. Tidak hanya itu, bahkan kalian juga bertanggung jawab memegang nyawa bangsa ini kedepannya. Jika kalian sendiri berhenti berusaha mengejar cita-cita. Siapa yang akan bertanggung jawab untuk diri kalian sendiri. Beliau juga berpesan, “Kalau bukan anak bangsa ini yang membangun bangsanya, siapa lagi? Jangan saudara mengharapkan orang lain yang datang membangun bangsa kita.” sekali lagi beliau menegaskan bahwa nasib negara ini ada ditangan anak bangsa. Kalian yang akan berjuang memajukan negara ini. Bukan bangsa Belanda, Inggris, Portugis, Jepang maupun seluruh bangsa lain yang ada di dunia ini yang bertanggung jawab atas Indonesia. Semua tanggung jawab ada di tangan kita. Untuk itu kata anak bangsa bukan hanya dijadikan sebatas jargon tapi anak bangsa dijadikan pacuan kita membangun bangsa. Terima kasih Rudy, pemuda Indonesia Yang sampai akhir nyawanya mengabdi Pada negaranya.
this month on campus: global sevilla league WRITTEN BY DANIELLA RENATTA CITRA PHOTOGRAPHED BY KATRINA VIONY SANTOSO
After weeks of training and preparation for all competitors, the second season of the Global Sevilla League has finally arrived. It is a sports league in which students from schools around Jakarta can participate in two competitions - U12 Mini Soccer and Boys' and Girls' Basketball every Saturday. Every season, the competitors gather at Global Sevilla Puri Indah Campus’s basketball court to start the new season with an epic game between two teams representing their schools. Multiple games are held in a day accompanied by delicious snack booths and bazaar stalls selling sports-themed goods.
We kick off the brand new season with a game between GSPI’s very own Cyclones girls team against Tarsisius 2, followed by a match between Yadika 5 and SMA 22 and multiple boys' basketball matches to conclude the day. After the matches ended, all the players, their coaches, and audience cooled off with the refreshing snacks and drinks sold by the vendors who set up theirs booths near the swimming pool area. Eventually, the multiple teams competing crossed benches to commemorate this momentous event that is only the beginning to an entire season of the Global Sevilla League.

Q; What do you think so far about GSL? A: It is maintained nicely, very on time and the committee really cooperates well. Overall, you guys did a great job. Q: Any input for GSL? A: I think you guys should provide more balls. The court can also be cleaner. WILBERT, 18 Sekolah Lentera Indonesia (Eagles) @wbt_11
LEONITA, 15 Tarsisius 2 @leonitadindaa.Â
Q: Tanggapan tentang GSL? A: Acaranya seru, fasilitasnya mendukung biar kita semangat buat tanding

Q; Why do you play basket?
Q: Who is your biggest influence when it comes to playing basket?
A scrumptious slice of pizza followed by a cup of Oreo milkshakes to sweeten our day. These helped in soothing the nerves of students as report card day loomed ahead. Thanks to the admirable efforts of the Life Skills & Entrepreneurship (LSE) department, we now have enough funds to support various student council activities in the future. Their collaboration and hard work is truly commendable, and it all translates into an impressive outcome for the fundraising event.
The
Spiritual
Development
department
organised activities during the devotion periods on Friday to make them more engaging and to unite the religious communities. The
Buddhist
students
visited
Prasadha
Jinarakkhita to pray, the Christian and Catholic students had their
fellowship and were
introduced to Jeremiah, a major prophet of the Old Testament, while the Muslim students recited verses during the Qur'an reading session and had their Friday prayers. The religious activities allowed students to further strengthen their faith while having fun!
The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) is a competition that Global Sevilla Puri Indah has participated in for a while now, with students winning multiple distinctions in specialised subjects every year. The subjects are English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling, and Digital Technology. Usually, the English examinations consist of grammatical questions while the Writing examinations are of argumentative essays. The ICAS assessments recognise and reward academic excellence or success.
The
exams
validate
and
reward
student’s
hard-earned
achievements and provide the well performing students with various platforms to share and practice their special gifts when it comes to academics. In the words of Mr Marko, Global Sevilla Puri Indah’s Vice Principal and ICAS invigilator, “ICAS helps you identify the skills that you are good at and the skills that you still need to improve. When the results come out, you will be able to see the areas that you are good at and how you performed compared with other students let say in your school, or in your region.” The participants are given test papers according to the their ages/grade levels. They are then given time according to their respected test papers to finish the examinations. Eventually, the participants exit the exam room. The papers are then sent to examiners, who are responsible for marking the papers, and the results are sent to the participating schools.

A BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION BY JIHAN NILA SAFIRA
GELAP ADALAH BAGIAN DARI ALAM… TETAPI JANGAN SAMPAI KITA SUDAH MENCAPAI TITIK KELAM, KARENA KELAM ADALAH TANDA KITA SUDAH MENYERAH. KELAM ADALAH SEBUAH KEPAHITAN, SATU TITIK KETIKA KITA MERASA HIDUP TAK BISA DIPERTAHANKAN LAGI.
DAN YANG PALING BERAT BAGI SEMUA ORANGTUA DAN KELUARGA AKTIVIS YANG HILANG ADALAH: INSOMNIA DAN KETIDAKPASTIAN. KEDUA ORANGTUAKU TAK PERNAH LAGI TIDUR DAN SUKAR MAKAN KARENA SELALU MENANTI , MAS LAUT MUNCUL DI DEPAN PINTU DAN AKAN LEBIH ENAK MAKAN BERSAMA.
