Kelas Inspirasi

"what do you want to be when you grow up?"
this was a quite confusing question asked to me when I was a child. 

Children that day, including me seemed to know nothing about a profession or a job other than a doctor, president, pilot, train driver, soldier, farmer, and teacher. We were all blind about what will we become when we've grown up because it seemed like future is something un-imaginable, untouched. So, we had just those portrays of grown-man profession, if I may say, a little dream of 90s children. 



This is not happening nowadays because of the program called "Kelas Inspirasi" held by Indonesia Mengajar. The program is purposed to give a simple image of a profession, a job described by volunteers from several companies. They explained and even demonstrated what they are doing for a living, also the volunteers added some advice of how to reach their dream. It simply gave a new imagination for children that they have many options. They know and they can choose whatever they want to be as long as they try and study hard. The program was success to kill the boringness in formal study, also it provided knowledge about  profession to the children. Besides, it entertained the children very much by creating an interesting game, one of them was the flying the balloons of dreams.
