              “Studying is like playing a game. You have to pass various levels, both easy and difficult. Students like the easy stages and do not like the difficult stages, but you have to pass all levels to get to the last level and complete the game. Compare this to the subjects you study. There are both easy subjects and difficult subjects. The easy subjects students will study well, unlike difficult subjects they don’t like, but students have to study all subjects in order to graduate. All subjects are important to be able to apply in daily life in the future, such as Mathematics. Students may not like studying but when they grow up to be the head of the family they will need to use Basic Mathematics to calculate their cost of living to budget or build a house. I would like students to focus on learning in all subjects for your own benefit. When you have good basic and general knowledge it is also important to discipline yourself to be able to endure what you do not like. This way you will not be discouraged when obstacles arise and you will be able to overcome future problems. Therefore, I would like to request students to train yourselves to be self-disciplined. This is one of one of Ektra’s characteristics and is an example for future generations of students. ”
