Introduce

   Good morning everyone, my name is Graciella Theresia from class XI IPA 2, we meet again in a new class. New class, new experience. The meaning of my name is "graciella" taken from the word "grace" which means blessing from god, and "theresia" taken from the name "mother theresa". I was born in Riau, 3 January 2005. I live in Jakarta.

   I was one of the students of the 27th High School in Jakarta, now I'm in eleven grade 2. I am fifteen years old.  my hobby is reading novels, drawing and listening to music.

   During the Covid-19 pandemic, I really missed my friends.  even though we can call or video call, but still it feels like something is missing if we don't meet in person.  Are any of you the same as me?

   But all things must have positive and negative sides.  During the Covid-19 pandemic, I was increasingly helping my parents, and getting closer to my family.  I also began to manage my time well.

   Message from me, don't look at things from the negative side, just look at it from the other side then you will find the positive side.

that's all from me, good morning ~
