Albert’s Autobiography

Do you know goat? It’s an animal that eat grass and usually breaded by human. People usually used their meat to make food and skin to make handkerchief. Something unique in this animal is the beard under it mouth.

One day in Petra 2 Junior High School, two boys came in to counseling room. Their name were Albert and Andreas, they were friend since 1st grade. Inside the counseling room they met a teacher named Rudy. Then that teacher compared Albert and Andreas. And when the discussion reached our face, the teacher said “Andreas, how old are you?” Andreas answered, “I am 2 years older than Albert. So, this year I’m 17 years old.” Rudy asked again to both of us, “Andreas is 17 years old, Albert is 15 years old. For Andreas, has beard in that age is normal. But, Albert already has it in his age.” That comment make Andreas laugh and said, “He’s like a goat, because already have it today.” Since that day, my entire friend called me “Kambing”. Because Andreas always call me with that name.

My real full name is Albert Soegiharto, but my friend usually calls me Albert. I was born in Surabaya on August 19th 1990. With my nickname “Kambing”, I became popular among my entire friend. And that nickname was used till today when I’m studied in UPH because 4 of my friends are studied here too. So they influenced other to call me by that name.

Sometimes we are get upset because people always calls us whatever they like. But just think to be positive. Don’t think that calls as a mockery, just smile and let it flow. Because the called we get can make us get to be closer to our friend.
