Aerobics, a Secret Diary, and Something Unpleasant under the Bed.
Last month, I went to Rina’s home. She is an aerobics member in my campus. Like the usual, we always talked in her room, we talked many things. After few minutes she went to the kitchen to take a drink for me. When she was in the kitchen, I felt that the bed was shaking for few seconds, and then I looked something unpleasant under the bed. My mind said there is a secret diary that I didn’t know about Rina. When she came back to room I tried to ask him about the secret diary that I didn’t know, but she didn’t want to answer. After I forced her, finally she wanted to answer. There was a ghost that was disturbing in her room
Beloved Man
I have two eyes
That make me can see
All the good and love
That are around me
For my heart and my life
There is only one person
Who I want to see all of the time
He is the apple of my eye
My heart rumbles whenever I see him
Feel so calm if I’m with him
Feel be head over heels
Feel love at first sight
Strict nature of a lion fascinated me
A humorous man
A very caring man
That makes me admire him more
I don’t care about his weakness
I love him from head to toes
He is my one and only love
He is my match made in heaven
First Hand Phone That I Bought With My Savings
It was 6 years ago, when I was in Junior High School. I started to save my money, because I wanted to buy a new phone and I didn’t want to bothersome my parents. Why I didn’t want to bothersome my parents? Because my parents always say “You must be an independent one”, so that meaning if I wanted something I must try to get it by myself and didn’t bothersome someone else.
I used to set aside my allowance, I saved around Rp.5.000 a day. It was difficult for me at the first, but day by day it wasn’t that difficult. Sometime I thought if I couldn’t save my money anymore, but I started to pulled myself and said to myself “You could do it”.
After I saving around 1 year, I felt the money was enough to buy the phone and then I opened the piggy bank to find how much money that had been accumulated. The money was around Rp.1.500.000. When I wanted to buy it, I talked to my parents first because I didn’t even dare to buy by myself. My parents were shocked about it and asked, “Where did you get the money?” I said if I had saved my money for 1 year. They were touched and hugged me.
After that we went to the phone shop to buy the phone. The phone that I wanted was Nokia Microsoft, the price was Rp.1.150.000 at that time. I never imagined if I could buy the phone with my own money. I felt so happy and my parents were so proud of me because of that.
The one thing I wanted to say for you all is “Let’s start to save our money if we want to get something, whatever we want. Once
again, don’t bothersome your parents and be independent one, please.”
My Holiday in Solo
It was my holiday after final exam in December, 2018. I spent my holiday in Solo, at my grandma’s village. The village’s name is Sinawah. The village was very wonderful, there were some rivers that were still very clear and beautiful without pollution. The beauty of nature, the shady trees that are still awake, and the sound of birds’ song in every morning made me comfortable to stay there.
My activities while I was in there were like helping my grandma to cook meals, cleaning the house, and of course walking around the village when I felt bored. I usually walked around with my cousin. Her name’s Neni. We went around, walked down the river, and enjoyed the coolness of nature. Sometimes I also walked around with my uncle.
When I stayed there my grandma and grandpa always told me to eat a lot more and more, and I didn’t like it. It lasted for few days. There was a refused in my heart between expressed what I felt or staying on it and holding it. But finally I ventured to say it.
After I expressed what I felt, my grandma was angry and said, “I just ask you to eat a lot, it’s not an evil. Don’t you know how difficult we were to ate in the old times? So, you must be thankful you can eat a lot and don’t waste your food anymore.” I just kept silent and my grandma tore, then I hugged her and asked for apologize. From that moment I always obey my grandma, because I don’t want to hurt her heart anymore and I promised to be grateful and will not waste food anymore.
So, for you guys please don’t waste food and please be thankful that you can eat a lot this time.
Edo Simbolon
His name is Edo Prasetyo Simbolon. He was born in Oki, 29 March 2000. He is the 8th child of 9 siblings. His Elementary School was in SDN 1 Bona Tani, Junior High School in SMP Charitas 1 Belitang, and Senior High School in SMA Xaverius 1 Belitang. He was my friend in Elementary School. I never thought before if he could be an entrepreneur, because he was very noisy and he never did his homework from teacher. He usually got punishment because of it. When he was in Junior High School and in Senior High School he changed to be better than in Elementary School. After he graduated from Senior High School he didn’t want to continue his study, but he started to be an entrepreneur in transport service in Lampung.
At first, he never thought of going into this business world, but because of his brother’s invitation to learn to do business so he began to start his career. He started everything from zero, starting from ordering car parts, taking care of billing problems, and so on. Of course all of that did not always run fluently, there must be obstacles in it, such as the difficulty of finding orders and cargo at the beginning and at the end of the year, but the orders would run well around 3rd month and so on. He never gave up even though it was difficult to overcome these obstacles. He kept trying and thinking forward. From the results of his hard work, he saved and invested by buying land.
His forward thinking and never giving up in his hard work that really inspired me. I was so lucky to have friend like him, who wanted to try and work hard starting from young age. I hope his business wouldn’t smoothly and hopefully he wouldn’t become an arrogant person when he became rich. The moral message for us is “Don’t be afraid to try and never give up even though there are many obstacles.”
🌺Testimony:
Firstly, I want to say thank you to Mr. Septa who had already taught me in Creative Writing Class. In this class I learned many things, like to make good sentences, good paragraphs, good poetries, and others. Actually my writing isn’t good enough, but I will try to be better than before. I also want to say sorry to Mr. Septa, if I had made mistakes in this class. Maybe, it was because I couldn’t understand several things you had already shared to me.
