You Can Be What You Want To Be

My father passed away when I was 12 year-old, my elder sister was 15, and my little sister was only 9. Living in humble family with my mother as a single parent, with so many limitations, and in the society that was so much lack of appreciation to the woman from economically disadvantaged family was not easy at all. Yet, it has taught us the meaning of survival, the meaning of blessings, and the realization, that good life is not the thing that we take for granted, but it is the things that we must fight for. Here, I would like to share some avenues that have brought me many wonderful experiences, that have made my dreams come true, and I hope, they may bring you there too... Some people might think that you are "just a girl" - BUT you can become everything you that want to be!

Ayahku meninggal saat aku masih berumur 12 tahun, kakakku 15 tahun, dan adikku 9 tahun. Hidup dalam keluarga sangat sederhana, dengan ibu kami sebagai orang tua tunggal, dengan segala keterbatasan, dan dalam lingkungan yang belum cukup menghargai perempuan dari keluarga yang kurang beruntung sungguh sangat tidak mudah. Meski demikian, itulah yang membuat kami belajar tentang arti perjuangan, arti anugerah, dengan kesadaran penuh, bahwa kehidupan yang baik bukanlah hal yang kita dapat begitu saja, namun merupakan hal yang harus kita perjuangkan buat mencapainya. Di sini aku ingin berbagi beberapa jalan yang membuatku meraih mimpi-mimpi besarku, dan semoga, juga dapat membawamu ke mimpi-mimpi besarmu... Beberapa orang mungkin menganggapmu "cuma seorang perempuan", TAPI kamu bisa menjadi apapun yang kamu mau!
