IT'S ME YOU HURT
My family my treasure
In the morning when I woke up, my head felt heavy as if a big rock had been piercing me. Maybe the effects of not sleeping properly. I only slept for 2 hours. I'm used to waking up early to clean the house. I usually wake up at 4 a.m., but I just fell asleep at 4. So I just woke up at 6 a.m.
When I woke up, I straightened up the room. I see my son is still sleeping well. I went out of my room and cleaned my house. Fortunately my house is not as big as Mas Angga's house, so it does not take long for me to finish my work immediately. After cleaning the house I went in the kitchen, I saw my mother cooking.
"Sit on Na's dinner table, I'm cooking. It's cooking is ripe and I'll drop you here." Ah glad to have a mother, even though I am married she still takes care of me.
"Who's guarding the lady?" I know my dad's going to the grocery market. I saw my dad come out on his bike.
"Wall, Gina's guarding while zooming." Mom pointed at the stall in front of my house.
Now many teaching and learning activities at the Regina campus are online. Only certain courses and lessons require them to be face-to-face. So Regina is more at home and can help mom at the stall.
Even though we are not from family. But the three of us put education first. Since childhood father and mother instill to diligently learn and discipline while in school. That's what I always remember until I went to college and work. We are used to discipline and respect time.
We know that mom and dad have fought so that we could study. So we also have to try hard so as not to let them down.
We recognize that being highly educated does not guarantee a bright future and guarantee a life of wealth. But as long as we can and parents support us, we will fight.
Well in contrast to some of my friends who didn't appreciate their parents' struggles, or went to college for prestige because their parents were rich. For them the lecture is just a distraction that fills boredom, and SPP every semester is just a donation.
Currently Gina is studying at one of the State Universities, she majored in management economics and only second semester. He knew that father and mother struggled to get him out of the stall, so as much as possible if he was low-key Gina would help dad at the stall or help with mom's work at home.
Unlike Regina, when I was in college I got a scholarship because I entered through the invitation. At that time my father was just in PHK, and I could barely continue my passion for college.
At that time the father was faced with a choice, choosing whether the severance money he received was used for me to go to college or used to open a business to continue life.
Of course I refuse if my father's severance pay is only used for me to go to college. I still have two sisters who are still in school. What about the education costs for my two sisters? Not until there, how will we eat in the future? It is impossible to just rely on the crops from the small garden behind the house to finance the needs of the five family members plus the cost of my education and my two younger siblings.
Yes since the XI class (2nd grade High School) I often represent my school to participate in the Mathematics Olympiad and often get a champion.
After the survey, it turned out that I was eligible for the scholarship. Not just free development money and SPP money for four years. But every semester I earn cash as a supporter of tuition fees.
Mercifully. God is so good to me. Cash that I get every month I can use for street money and parking fees in the campus, the money can even still save 200 thousand every semester for guard money. I studied at the faculty of Mipa majoring in Mathematics and got a bachelor of science (S.Si)
Unlike me and Gina, my sister Reva is even more powerful. He went to college with his own work. Reva went to college while working. While in High School he took vocational school, class XII (grade 3 of High School) Reva interned and placed in one of the banks and worked for 6 months there. During work Reva many get customers funding both deposits, current accounts, and other savings accounts. Of course the Company wants employees who can bring benefits to the company, so after graduating SMK Reva was recruited by the Bank where he interned first.
Because morning to evening she was working, so Reva took the extension line to college at night. This year if there are no obstacles, Reva will complete her studies at the same faculty as Gina but Reva majored in Banking Economics.
I am so proud and grateful to have a family like my own. Despite having to fight for food and education costs, we can still live well.
He always taught us to be grateful for what we have. Although we are difficult, but there are still many more difficult life out there than us.
There are a lot of people out there who just eat, they can't, especially for school. Not because they do not want to, but because of circumstances that do not give them the option to be able.
Learn to value others, and learn to give in shortcomings. That's always my father's message. Even though we were educated in college, we never considered higher than those who did not go to school or college.
Ah my family my treasure, the house where I took shelter when the storm of life came. They are the great and wonderful people in my life. But since marriage and in boyong Mas Angga to his house, I rarely visit my family.
Since getting married 3 years ago only 3 times I visited this house, 2 times delivered Mas Angga and 1 time only me and Ziva. That was on the Eid holiday. Sometimes the mother will visit me at Mas Angga's house, or I will video call with my family if you want to let go of longing.
I'm actually ashamed of them. But where else should I take shelter and complain. This morning I will gather my strength to tell my mother everything, and ask her opinion.
Actually I am a quiet type who does not like to tell my problems to others even my own family. Yes, at this time I have to get used to expressing my heart to others, to the right people and of course in the right way.
