📘 Recount Text
My name is Agus Bagyo. I was born on August 19th, 1976, and I grew up in a small village named Cluwuk, located in Tulis, Batang, Central Java. I am the first son of Wastono and Arni, who were small farmers. I actually have one sister and two brothers, although sadly, my youngest brother passed away when he was just three years old.
I started my education in my village primary school, where I learned for six years. After finishing primary school in 1991, I continued to a state secondary school, SMP 1 Tulis. I studied there for three years until 1993. In that same year, I was accepted at SMA 1 Pekalongan, one of the public senior high schools in the Pekalongan regency. After three years of studying, I graduated from the school and continued my education at Sebelas Maret University in Solo, joining the English Department in the Faculty of Letters.
I graduated from the university in March 2001. After that, I spent six years as an honorarium teacher before being officially accepted as a civil servant teacher at SMK Negeri 1 Batang. Until now, I am still teaching at the same school, continuing my commitment to education and my students.
