NEW YEAR REFLECTION (9): Enhance Your Knowledge

My little daughter told me she wanted to be a song writer, an art and music teacher. I responded her that she had to be able to play at least an instrument. Since that time she played keyboard more frequently than before and planned to take special music class when she is in the 3rd grade at her school.

What do you want to be in the next several years? Whatever you want to be, enhancing your knowledge is a must but sometimes you don't need to spend a lot of money for that. For an example: if you would like to improve your writing project, you might be interested to join in the writing community instead of a writing class that will take you more time and cost. In the writing community used to take lower cost and you will get many reviews for your writing project.

Well, talking about improving your skill in the writing field, I have an information that might be useful for Indonesians. PMOH (Pelatihan Menulis Online HOKI), an online writing course still open registration until February 19, 2011 at 12 midnight (Western Indonesia Standard Time). PMOH in this third year has opened two classes: General Class (15 weeks) and Fiction Class (6 weeks).

Since two last years, PMOH has graduated the students from General Class. They are from Senior High School student, college students, translator, teacher, housewives, government employee, private employees, entrepreneurs, editor, photographer, etc as you see the slideshow below (several of them are PMOH mentors).

For more information about PMOH, visit this link or you can send your questions via email to redaksi@kabarindonesia.com with the subject name: PMOH.

You also may forward this information to your Indonesian friends and family who have interest in improving their writing skill wherever they live.

Thank you for reading and forward this message. Have a great day, everyone!
