Tlogowaru and Its Hidden Treasure

Tlogowaru. I believe there's not a lot of Malang citizens who truly knew and know where is it. Understandably, Tlogowaru is a small and remote village located on the outskirts of Malang city. Precisely, it is part of Kedungkandang subdistrict. But who would have thought that beyond its name and location there is something so precious and not known by many people. Thus, I'm going to tell and share what I found as the hidden treasure in Tlogowaru.

Guys, I'm not going to describe a thing that I met in the wild nature or something that established accidentaly. The object taken by me is purposely established. This object is totally majestic, pretentious, and not presumed to be on the ground of Tlogowaru. Moreover, it is around us, the students of Senior High School 10 Malang. Can you guess what I mean? Well, I'll give you the snapshot of this object. So, check it out!

Lighthouse of Senior High School 10 Malang (this photo is taken by: me)

Well, that's our lighthouse! I choose this object not because I'm too lazy to find out new place or thing outside. I've done the research to find the hidden treasure but i found nothing attractive enough to be described. Hehe. Through this post, I'll share what's in it.

Our lighthouse is located in the area of Campus II Senior High School 10 Malang,Tlogowaru. I claim that it is hidden because we can't see and recognize this enormous building from the roadway. It might be because of the blocking of the sugar cane field owned by the local citizens of Tlogowaru. This lighthouse was established in 2011 when our school was literally called as Public SHS 10 Malang - Sampoerna Academy. This project was initiated by Putera Sampoerna Foundation. 

When lighthouse was in the progress of establishing, 2011

I call it as a treasure because we can found hundreds trophies of our achievements inside this building. Our struggle was framed in all those achievements. We, the students of Sampoerna/Leadership Academy, didn't get the scholarship and those facilities easily but we had to win the struggle with thousands of applicants from all over districts of East Java. Our memories from the beginning of applying until now were framed in lighthouse.

What's more, this lighthouse is the one and only in Malang. Lighthouse which is generally located in the middle of ocean now can be found in the outskirt of Malang city, precisely in Tlogowaru. That's what make our school different than the other schools! In the night, the light brightens up the night sky and the area in its surroundings. It's such a brightest light in the area of Senior High School 10 Malang which makes our spirit keeps on fire to achieve the best.

This is the snapshot when the light of the lighthouse light up the sky! Isn't it wonderful?
