Mimpi

Kata Bang Bondan di lagunya yang berjudul Kau Puisi, "Tinggalkanlah gengsi, hidup berawal dari mimpi, gantungkanlah yang tinggi agar semua terjadi!" Bang Bondan menyemangati kita agar memiliki mimpi setinggi-tinginya dan berusaha untuk mewujudkannya.
Sangat berbeda dengan yang diucapkan ayah Santiago Munez, dalam film trilogi Goal, "Ketika kamu berani bermimpi, artinya kamu bersiap untuk terjatuh." Kata-kata ini justru seolah-olah membuat kita takut untuk bermimpi.
Namun memang benar adanya, tahun ini saya punya ekspetasi besar untuk Go OSN (Olimpiade Sains Nasional). Sebuah mimpi tinggi, yang sulit diraih tanpa perjuangan keras. Untuk mncapai OSN, siswa harus melalui seleksi OSK(Kota) dan OSP(Provinsi). Segala usaha keras dan doa telah diupayakan, pelajaran reguler sekolah dikorbankan,. Namun apa daya, di OSK saya hanya berhasil finish di posisi 6. Untuk lolos ke OSP, minimal harus finish di 3 besar. Ekspetasiku lenyap, rasanya seperti jatuh dari tempat yang tinggi.
Begitu pula dengan Ligasha, sebuah liga di sekolah tempatku menuntut ilmu saat ini, SMA N 3 Semarang. Saya menaruh harapan besar pada tim LeGOSS untuk setidaknya masuk final. Tim pertama dan satun-satunya yang ikut dengan skuad sama ini hanya melangkah hingga perempatfinal. Di partai terakhir, kami ditundukkan tim El-Nino 2-1. Kekecewaan hingga saat ini belum mampu terhapuskan. Kami bermain baik, kami punya banyak peluang emas. Namun, hasil berkata lain.
oh mimpi ..

My Dream

Minggu ini, tugas sekolah menggila, numpuk seabrek, bukan gara2 aku procrastinate tapi karna memang datengnya bareng minggu ini. Salah satunya ini, suruh bikin cerita tentang mimpi.

I have a lot of dreams which I hope I can realize them in future. I want to make my life and my parent’s life happy. I’ll do my best to realize both of them not only by working hard and but also praying. Praying give us luck from God.
For myself, I have a dream which will be true in the end of this year. My dream is go to Japan. I have this dream since I was four years old. Actually, I don’t remember if I had this dream. My grandpa and grandma told that I had said my dream to them. Both my mother and father is a teacher. So, they don’t have enough time to take care of me when they were teaching. As the consequence, they left me in my grandpa’s house so he could take care of me.
Both my grandpa and my grandma always accompanied me when I was eating or watching television although I believe that they didn’t like the television program that I watched. One day, when I was watching ULTRAMAN, (my grandpa told me that) I liked it and then asked, “Where are ULTRAMAN comes from, grandpa? I want to meet him!” Then my grandpa answered, “You can meet him in Japan. ULTRAMAN comes from Japan.”Then, I asked ”Can I go there someday?” Then my grandpa replied, “I believe you can do it! You just need to work hard and pray for your luck to God, then I believe, someday you will go to Japan!”
Last year, I felt that my dream would come true. AFS ask SMA N 3 Semarang, place where I study, to join scholarship selection. There are many programs which are offered by them, for example, YES, AFS, and JENESYS. I know that I have a dream to go Japan, because my grandpa had told it, so I took JENESYS scholarship. JENESYS or Japan East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths is program for students exchange between Japan and countries in South East Asia. Students who are eligible in selection will be send to Japan on December during two weeks in order to show and share about their country’s tradition.
There are three phases of selection. First phase is knowledge and writing test. The second is interview test, and the last is group communication test. The test hold during May until June. After three phases, because of my family’s praying and work hard, the committee announced that I was eligible and would go to Japan on December 2011. I’m very happy because I can realize one of my dreams.
Actually, I have many dreams which I hope I can realize them in future. But, I think it need long time to tell all of them here. So, I will tell it short. In future, I want to become a civil servant because I think I will get fixed salary if I become a civil servant. But, on the other hand, I also want to be an entrepreneurship. So, I’ll have extra salaries when I’m retired. Maybe, I’ll build my own hand phone and pulse shop or etc.
When I’ve become a successful person who have my own salary, I hope I can marry my lovely girlfriend, have a happy family forever and ever. In the end of my life, I hope I will dying in peace, buried well, and meet God in his heaven.
For my parent, I know that they have dream to do Hajj pray together. So, I’ll try to do my best to realize their dream. Not only that, I’ll try to do whatever in order to make them proud and happy.
That’s all my simple dreams. I hope they will come true in the future.
