Some Important Events in My Life

Hi, guys. Nice to see you again in my blog. In this post I would like to share with you about important event which makes me become the way I am right now.

There are many changes that can happen in a person's life. Some changes are very tiny and would not affect your life very much. However, other events could be very important and could change a person's whole life.

Oh yeah, I have not told you before that my Elementary School was in Surabaya, named “SD Kr. Bethel Sulung 3”. I was very naughty when I was in Elementary School like the other child in general. Moreover, I became naughtier when I was at grade six. Like other schools in general, when the students are about to get national examination, they throw some extra lessons. I sometimes did not join the extra lessons for student grade six, on the contrary I played online games in a place called "Internet Cafe" with my friends. One day, my junior reported it to the teacher and she said that the teacher called us to meet her. We did not go to the “Internet Cafe” at the extra lessons again since then.

Then, we proceed to the day when the announcement of the National Examination’s result. I was very proud of myself because I got the best grade at Math in the class. My school just had one room for each grade at that time. Yeah, that was because I was very interested at Math and I kept my focus on Math.

After that, I had signed up in “SMP Petra 2, Surabaya” before I moved to “SMPK Tri Bhakti, Reo”. I was trying not to be naughty in SMP Petra 2 anymore, but I sometimes did some mischievous things to my friend. Then, one day, my friend told his sister that I often bothered him and she looked for me in my classroom. I was surprised when she came to me with mad emotion in her face. Then, I decided not to do that kind of thing again to my friend again since then.

Then, when I was about to move to Flores, I still remembered that I made a competition of Physics’ mark with some of my friends, but I could not fulfill the competition because I had to go to Flores. If I had not gone to Flores soon, I would have fulfilled it.

On my first day at the school in Flores, I was very surprised that there was a friend that recognised me, even I did not recognise him. Yeah, actually I was in Flores when I was in Kindergarten. Then, he told the others that I was their friend who was in the same Kindergarten. They were very friendly. They even accompanied me to my house because I still could not remember the way home. I was warmly welcomed at that time.

However, I became quiet there because I did not know their local language at that time. The only things that I could do at that time just studied and played with my brother. At first, I did not go around with my friends. I used to feel awkward with the condition, the behavior and the language there. However, at the third grade I had known their names well. I even knew their house. They were very kind to me. They always helped me when I had a problem with the teacher’s command. It made me rely on their help. As a replacement, I helped them with the lesson. I was very surprised when I got the best mark for the National Examination there. It made me become arrogant. 

When I signed up for the Senior High School, I thought that there would be a test after the enrollment, but "it would not", said the committee. It made me become lazier than before. I used to underestimate the lesson because I always got good mark in the class. One day when I was in grade two, my mark came down, especially for Math. I was very shocked. That was the first time I got the worst mark for Math in my live. I got a "duck" on my paper. It was very embarrassing to see it. Unfortunately, my English mark was the highest among others.

I thought that Math became more difficult than before. Then, I started to keep my focus on English. I enjoyed English lesson very much. Moreover, the teacher teached us very good and the way learning English became more delightful for me. Then, I got the best mark on English in my high school and it was the highest mark of mine. Then, I decided to choose English Department as my major in the University of Widya Mandala Surabaya.
