In 2010, i was
second grade in 52 senior high school Jakarta. It has been one of the best senior high school in North Jakarta and
Jakarta has been either. My class was 12nd social one. Exactly, it
was the best class in social. Social major became odd thing for some of my
friends and of course my family. Everyone asked me why I chose social major
for my major. Whereas, I deserve to
study in science major. At the time, first i answered that it was my choice and
second was that maybe I would be lucky in social major. As a matter of fact,
there were many lucky came to me when I was in social major.
I’m still
thinking why everyone think that social major has been identic as a “second
choice” after science major, and even “wasted class”. It can be identic because
our scored don’t deserve as a require to choose science major. Whereas, we more
make relation with the people than the things or nature. It depends on the
people that everybody has a choice.
There were many
lucky came to me when I was in social major. I don’t know that it called lucky
or destiny. But I’m sure that lucky will come to us because our effort. The point
is effort. Had we been effort as long as we can, the lucky would have been come
to us. It happened to me while my English teacher, Mr.Edi 40, chose me as a
representative of my region to join exchange students program between Indonesia
and Singapore with my friend, Medinta. Medinta’s father request to my school to chose one of the students to
accompany Medinta, his daughter. Before we went to Singapore, we were given a
training in TMII Jakarta.
When my teacher
chose me to join that program was really surprising me, I didn’t know why my
teacher chose me. But I thought that I was chosen because previously my English
teacher gave us homework about drama, and I was a good player in drama. Mr. Edi
gave me high score. so story of the luckiest person would be begin.
I couldn’t hind
my excitement until I prepared to go to TMII where the program be held. I’d met
the best students from their region in Indonesia, from Sabang until Merauke. I
realized that I was not the best student in my region, once again the lucky who
brought me at that place. But one thing which made me confused was that i had
to show our region traditional dancing. One thing which I remembered was that I couldn’t dance.
But Medinta teached me how to dance from her region.
The program was
held during five days and what I felt is a month, because we had many together
activities. I felt so strong relation with all of them. It was unforgettable
moment, i got the precious experience from that program. I felt the luckiest
person in my region.
