HAND OUT

MateriPembelajaran :
Last night, I read an article about adolescence in a magazine. I learned that it was a time of change between childhood and adulthood. After I finished reading the article from the magazine, I remembered my own adolescence. I was fourteen at that time. I felt very emotional about everything. But I tried to learn more about myself. I tried to discover what I wanted to do, and what kind of people I wanted to be. To divert my emotions, I took many e tra curricular activities. I took piano lessons on !ondays. "n Tuesdays, I #oined an $nglish course. Then on %ednesdays and Thursdays, I had e tra science and math lessons. &ridays, it was my time to play basketball with my friends. &inally, I spent most of my weekends with my family. I was able to control my emotions and to have a place where I could e press my creativity in positive ways.
