Adelia Shines Bright

Sekolah Perkumpulan Mandiri (SPM) is delighted to celebrate the remarkable success of one of our young student-athletes, Adelia, a proud 4th grader, who recently achieved 1st place in the U10 Academy League. This outstanding victory marks not only a sporting milestone for Adelia but also a reflection of SPM’s commitment to nurturing leadership, confidence, and excellence in every child.

Representing the Thunderstorm Basketball Academy, Adelia demonstrated extraordinary determination, teamwork, and perseverance throughout the tournament. Competing against some of Jakarta’s most promising young players, she showed that leadership isn’t just about winning games—it’s about discipline, sportsmanship, and the courage to keep growing through every challenge.

Her journey with Thunderstorm Basketball Academy has been one of passion and progress. Under the guidance of skilled coaches and a supportive team environment, Adelia has developed both her technical skills and her mindset as an athlete. The Academy provides young players with the opportunity to learn from experienced mentors, face competitive challenges, and most importantly, to experience the joy of playing basketball on a larger stage.

At SPM, we take immense pride in seeing how our students bring the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to life beyond the classroom. Adelia’s achievement exemplifies Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind and Habit 3: Put First Things First — she set a clear goal, committed to the process, and balanced her studies and training with excellence. Her success is a reminder to all our students that greatness begins with daily habits, focus, and a belief in oneself.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Thunderstorm Basketball Academy for their dedication in developing the skills and character of young athletes. Their training program provides a valuable platform for children to thrive in competitive sports while fostering discipline, teamwork, and leadership — values that perfectly align with SPM’s educational philosophy.

Adelia’s story is more than just about basketball; it’s about growth, courage, and the joy of achieving something through effort and teamwork. She is a role model for her peers and a shining example of how SPM students can make an impact both inside and outside the classroom.

Congratulations once again to Adelia for this incredible accomplishment! We are proud of your hard work, your spirit, and your example as a young leader. May this be just the beginning of many more milestones ahead — both on the court and in life.
