JurnalPost.com - Yohanes Don Bosko Rabha, or as he is affectionately known, Jhon Rabha, is a student of the Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) study program at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha) who is active in various organizational activities, both on and off campus.
Jhon was born in Noelbaki, Kupang, on May 14, 2006. He completed his primary and secondary education at various schools in East Nusa Tenggara before moving to Bali for his higher education.
Jhon Rabha's Educational Background
Jhon's educational journey began at Santa Theresia Kindergarten in Noelbaki from 2011 to 2012. He then continued his studies at SD Inpres Noelbaki from 2012 to 2018.
For his junior high school years, Jhon attended SMP Negeri 1 Kupang Tengah from 2018 to 2021. He subsequently continued his education at SMA Negeri 1 Aesesa, Nagekeo Regency, from 2021 to 2024.
After completing high school, Jhon chose to pursue his studies at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Bali. Since 2024, he has been enrolled as a student in the Undiksha PPKn study program.
Currently, Jhon is in his fifth semester while remaining active in various student organizations and community activities.
Active in Various Organizations
As a student, Jhon is known for his strong interest in organizational activities. These pursuits are not limited to the campus environment but also extend to regional student organizations and youth groups in Singaraja.
One of his organizational experiences includes serving as an administrator for the Undiksha Catholic Student Family (KMK) for the 2025–2026 term. However, in early January 2026, he decided to resign from that position.
Furthermore, Jhon is one of the founders of the Flores Student Association (HIMFLOR) which was established on May 10, 2025. The organization serves as a gathering space and hub for students from Flores who are pursuing their education in Singaraja.
Within the organization, Jhon was also entrusted with the role of Secretary of the Flores Student Association Singaraja for the 2025–2026 term. His role as secretary involves him in various administrative tasks, coordination, and organizational activities.
Not stopping there, Jhon also underwent the cadre training process at the Indonesian Christian Student Movement (GMKI) Singaraja for the 2025–2026 term.
In 2026, he also joined as a cadre of the Indonesian Christian Youth Movement (GAMKI) Singaraja. In that organization, Jhon was entrusted with the position of Secretary of the AKSPEL Division and is currently awaiting the official inauguration of the board.
Learning to Contribute through Organizations
For students, organizations can be a space to develop skills that are not always directly acquired in the classroom. Through organizations, students can learn to communicate, collaborate, solve problems, manage activities, and understand the responsibilities of leadership.
Jhon's experience in several organizations demonstrates his desire to continue learning while contributing to his surrounding environment.
His involvement in the Flores Student Association, for instance, is a form of contribution to the community of students from Flores in Singaraja. Meanwhile, his activity in GMKI and GAMKI provides him with opportunities to broaden his experience in youth and community organizational activities.
The busyness of organizational life is certainly a challenge for any student. Amidst academic activities, students are required to manage their time effectively between their studies and organizational commitments.
This experience is part of the process of character building, discipline, responsibility, and leadership development.
Through the various experiences he has undergone, Jhon Rabha shows that university life is not just about academic activities in the classroom. Students can also utilize various organizational spaces to learn, build networks, and contribute to the community around them.
Jhon's journey in the world of organizations continues. As he progresses through his studies in the Undiksha PPKn program, the experience gained through these various organizations is expected to serve as a foundation for his personal development and future contributions to society.
