My Biography

My name is Fanny Jatmiko, I was born 19 years ago, and I am the youngest child from three children in the family. Both my siblings are males. When I was a baby, I was the child that both my parents were waiting for, because my father wanted a baby girl, he said that if he did not get a baby girl he would not stop making babies. Fortunately after my two older brothers, I was born as a girl.
When I was still in kindergarten and elementary school, I was a very shy girl, and really quiet, especially when I was in front of a lot of people or meeting new people, I was very shy, I had a very low self esteem and I often not believing what I am capable of. I often felt that I have nothing to be proud of. But when I was in Junior High School, I realized that it wasn’t a good habit and I cannot live alone like this in this world and I have to interact with my surroundings. Finally, I decided to try and kept trying to change my bad habits. One of the factors that helped me was the fact that for kindergarten to senior high school, I had always been in different schools, where I had to face a new environment each time I graduated. Those new environments forced me to adapt with it. These factors had helped me to change from a shy person to become stronger. Different schools had made me loyal to my friends. Changes inside me started when I was in Junior high. One other factor that had helped me change my habit was when I became a part of OSIS in Junior High. During that time I learned to work together as a team and interact with a lot of people. Through that organization I had learned a lot of things and that was when I learned to believe in myself that I can do things and be succeeded. I started to think that no one is born without a purpose and skills, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and we just have to realize what we are capable of and use them for good purpose. I felt that I started to learn lot of things about life during my Junior High School.
After I graduated Junior High School, I continued my Senior High School at Petra 1, and when I graduated I chose UPH as my next place to study. After going through with this life, I realized that we have to use our time in this life as full as possible, we have to do wonderful and useful things to others surround us. Because from my perspective, how long a person’s live is not how long they have lived in this world, but it is merely how many percent that they used their life to do good things for others and themselves. Because of that, I have a dream, to be useful and bring positive attitudes to others surround me. This time, I am still in the process to accomplish my mission.
