“MY AFFAIRS OF A GREAT MOMENT”

            One day in my life, when I was a senior high school student. I was just a common teenager who still tried to find out a self-identity. There were so many experiences which accompanied me while I was growing up as a mature-boy. I believed, all of people in this world grew up with their own experiences and most of them thought that “experiences is the best teacher”, but for me it was just a witness of life which never turned back. The truly teacher of my life was my failure. Some people said, “Failure is a part of experiences, jackass!”, “I don’t’ care, you better shut up and look after at your own life!”, My heart shouted up. But my mouth was shut with a thousand silences not only but like an old man who lost his stick.  Every failure made me stronger. “Yeah I was a result of a thousand failures”. But in the end of it, failures proved me that I was achieving a great moment from my failures. I called it as “My Affairs of a Great Moment” and My name is Nanda Habib Firdaus.

            One day, I failed to ask for my parent’s approval. I wanted to continue my study at Senior High School Of Metro, but my parents just pushed aside of my heart’s desires. “Just continue your study here, Metro is not a good choice for your attitude, it is too risky for your social gathering!”, They said while threw my hope away. “Dad, Mum, I just want to make you proud of me, I will become one of village-boy who can survive in well-known school of a metro city and get my scholarship there, believe me! I can make it!” I was begging to them. “Listen to me kids, a good student is come from the way they study, not where they from! Prove me that you can get your scholarship from a little school in the edges of city”, My parents was defending their statement. That was a very first failure in my senior high school education-career, and finally, I continued my study in Metro Kibang 1 Senior High School.

            Day by day passed so fast, I just tried to enjoy my parents’ choice. I had no choice because my parents’ happiness was always my priority. My first semester was just so, nothing was special in my daily life. Of course, a few failure were still accompanied me all the time, one of them was I failed for being first student rank in my class. In the second semester, I was starting realize that my life should be better and better again. My family waited for my real achievements whereas I was still enjoying my swings of pleasure. I decided to study harder and explore my self-actualization. I started join the English club and Science-Olympiad club, next step was joining Representative of Class Council “Majelis Perwakilan Kelas” (MPK) and I recommended by my classmates and my teachers as a leader. My adventure was begun, I became a leader of MPK in re-organization for my first year joining, my score result was highest in second semester and I was ready for my second grade. In the middle semester of second grade my school had a chance to join the International Event, Singapore-Indonesia Student Friendship Adventure Camp as known as SISFAC. Every student had a chance to join the selections, of course I joined, because I used to be went to abroad. “Singapore, a nation of Merlion, I am coming!” My spirits burned.

            The day of selection was passing by, I thought that I failed and my hope was left me down, but something surprised me in the end of my waiting. I passed the first selection and continued for the next selection in Jakarta. I spent seven days there. I was home with a great of pride. “My parents are right, they burn my spirit by their own way and clearly understand which one is the best for me, now I’m so greatful on their eyes, Thank you Mum, Dad!” My whisper melted down to my heart. At the last, I passed the last selection. I went to Singapore to represented My Family, village, school, province, and my nation in Singapore-Indonesia Student Friendship Adventure Camp (SISFAC). I brought a pride of nationalism as a student and I succeed to prove it.

            One more time, I was home with a pride. Everything was built by my failure which made me stronger, it never thought me how to do something, but it was showed me the time (chance) which never turned back even at once.
