Nothing can be done if we don’t have the courage to make it to be done.
It was on a sunny day in the middle of our campus long holiday between the even and odd semester. Not so shocking for them who have been used in this kind of stuff, but when it comes to me, a boy with the name of Hendrik Pian, it will be kind of weird matter. That’s about joining UPH debate team. Shocking? Yes for me because I’ve never ever joined such kind of debating stuff more over participating in a national competition. Without any long-solid preparation we were pushed to compete in the national competition with all university in Indonesia. The exact date was in 17th July 2009, placed at Brawijaya University; our group was consisted of 3 debaters, 2 adjudicators and 1 official. The competitors were almost from the state universities because most of them used to call this PIMNAS as state university competition, so for the private universities, don’t be surprised if you might become the second prior in this event. Our team must be used with some verbal and nonverbal mocking that comes from one-two or even a bunch of people who see us as new beginner or even maybe they don’t like our university or what, I also don’t understand why because I think there were no uses or need to ask them. Three days pass through and finally we’ve succeed till the quarter final but unfortunately our step must be stopped at that level because we failed against UAD. Me and my partners were quite happy and be very thankful for every party that have been supporting us so far. We were very proud of our achieving. For that short story, the reason why I said in the beginning that there must be a first time for everything.
I was born in Kupang, NTT on 8th July 1991 at the government hospital, live happily ever after with two sisters’ and one brothers, where the two of them were born after me. After I graduated from my high school at kupang, I continued my study at Universitas Pelita Harapan, by taking management department at the business school, because in the future I would like to help others to manage some of their stuff especially in the area of finance or business. Like whats happening now in the world where everybody is competing in all lifes area, whether to make profit or not but in the end is to fulfill their scarcity.
I’ve decided to go out from Kupang, the place I’ve born and grew up to Surabaya, a place in Indonesia that is well known as one of the center of business in Indonesia. I’ve chosen this place because of its complexity and pluralism in many kinds of aspects, and I think it might be an advantage for us if we can take the lesson in order to help us live this life with a better way. Sola Deo Gratia
