The Luckiest Person

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 12^nd 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.
