The Legend Of Banyuwangi

Once upon a time, there was a local ruler named King Sulahkromo. The king had a Prime Minister named Raden Sidopekso. The Prime Minister had a wife named Sri Tanjung. She was so beautiful that the king wanted her to be his wife.

One day, the King sent his Prime Minister to a long mission. While the Prime Minister was away, the King tried to get Sri Tanjung. However he failed. He was very angry. Thus, when Sidopekso went back, the King told him that his wife was unfaithful to him. The Prime Minister was very angry with his wife. Sri Tanjungsaid that it was not true. However, Sidopekso said that he would kill her.

He brought her to the river bank. Before he kill her and threw her into the river, she said that her innocence would be proven After Sidopekso killed her, he threw her dead body into the dirty river.

The river immediately became clean and began to spread a wonderful fragrance. Sidopekso said, "Banyu...Wangi... Banyuwangi". This means "fragrant water". Banyuwangi was born from the proof of noble and sacred love.

High School and College

Even though high school and college are both places of learning, they differ in at least three ways. The first difference between high school and college is their social atmospheres. In high school the building is usually smaller, so most students know each other. In addition, students in high school have the same six-hour 7:40 to 2:30 day, which helps them to know one another better. At college people are constantly coming and going, rarely seeing the same person twice in one day. The second difference between high school and college is their policies about homework. In high school, homework is usually. Knowing they have to submit assignments in algebra or history makes students keep up with these subjects. In college most homework consists of just studying; very little of it is written and turned in. If students do their homework, it is to their advantage; if they do not, the teachers will not force them to. The student is only wasting his own money if he neglects his course work. The third and last difference between high school and college is their attendance policies. In high school, students must attend class or their parents will be called. In college, students may skip classes if they choose and refer to the syllabus to get missed assignments or tests. It is the student’s responsibility to make work up. In spite of these differences between high school and college, they both serve the same purpose — to prepare an individual for the real world.
