“Do not stop to be a dreamer”

That was my first day at college. On that day we were required to attend a meeting to prepare for campus introduction activities. My name is Kathleen Amarta Dewi. Far away I went to Surabaya City, to continue my undergraduate education. I went to one of the top universities in this heroic city.

That afternoon came down a drizzle that was so soothing. I set foot into the parking lot. I don't care if it rains, because I love the rain. I don't know, when I can feel the grains that come down from the sky there is a sense of happiness that appears. When people go back and forth and find a place to shelter, I actually enjoy the rain. Not long ago my car came. Mr. Arip is waiting for me in the car park.

“Kok ndak use umbrella, Neng? this morning I brought an umbrella?” ask Mr. Arip to greet me. When I get in the car. I smile. “Ndak sir I prefer rain-rain.” Answer me with a smile.

Then our car drove off and drove me back home. I live with Uncle Gibran and Aunt Sarah, the younger siblings of my mother.

Arrive at home. I set foot to the dining table, where Aunt Sarah was also enjoying her lunch.

“Halo, Kathleen how was the campus event?” Ask Aunt Sarah to greet me.

“Lumayan exclamation sich Tan..many students.” Reply enthusiastically.

“Hah...time of so many guys there is not a single handsome guy??? You're not mistaken for Kathleen?” Aunt Sarah wondered.

“Not yet, Tan. Not paying too much attention either. It was just an announcement kok Tan, just sit on the trus horrin protocol nyampein events for tomorrow. Yeah.Kathleen just listen. Kathleen also got to know a girl named Lilis. That is sich.” Flat answer.

“Then it was Aunty College. Wih...after the first day of entering college, already your aunt can meet many guys.” Aunt Sarah is proud.

I just smiled at Aunt Sarah's babble. I took my lunch and ate it with gourmand.

For me, this is my new world. I deliberately went to college in Surabaya City. Leaving my beloved city and continuing my studies in this city. Indeed in Surabaya very crowded and jammed but even so did not break my spirit to take education. I took a deep breath and I put my body in bed.

I hope tomorrow goes well. I smiled and looked at the ceiling. In my heart I was determined I wanted to be a successful person and pursue my dreams. Even though my father is gone, but his advice and advice will always be remembered, I will make him proud of my work. I thought at the time.

Having a dream encourages me to keep fighting. My determination at that time to pursue knowledge and success. Recollecting memories of the past. One year earlier I had planned to go to college with my ex Erik. But all ran aground with the breakdown of my love relationship. I woke up and looked at my diary again. Plastered some of the targets that I have to fulfill including continuing my training. I closed the diary that had a lot of memories. Even though there are a series of bitter stories about my love.
