Revival's Class

At 17, I worked alongside journalists covering the 2004 Tsunami, reporting from devastated areas and witnessing resilience firsthand.

Collaborating with a French TV station, I witnessed the destruction in Kaju – nothing was left.

Alongside Paul, a photojournalist from New York, I interviewed Red Cross volunteers and documented recovery efforts.

I also met James Balog, a Natgeo Journalist documenting an elephant among the rubble, searching for victims.

This experience has left a lasting impact. Alfatihah to all the victims.

Do you know why Americans give apples to teachers?

Back in the 1700s, families in the U.S. and parts of Scandinavia gave apples to teachers as a way to say thanks (or even as part of their salary!). Apples were valuable and seen as a gift of appreciation.

Over time, the apple became a symbol of knowledge, learning, and the teacher-student bond.

Today, it’s less about payment and more about tradition—a sweet little way to show respect and gratitude.

What about in Indonesia, what kind of present you give to your teacher?
