My Life Story, It's Florence..

Let’s start with my name, it is Florence Widjaja. How do you think? Isn’t that pretty? You can call me Flo. Do you know what the mean of my name? It means a Flower from God or a city in Italy. I was born in Surabaya, August 13th 1990. I’m just the only child in my small family member. I have neither sister nor brother. Everyone always asked me, “Did you felt sad or maybe in loneliness?” or they thought that my parents always spoiled me. But, they were wrong. I didn’t felt sad or loneliness, even be spoiled, my parents always accompany and guidance me. I’m so proud and thankful to them. To be the only child in my family member is the hard part for me. I must be strong, be autonomous, be responsible and always make them proud of me. When I was a child, I just an ordinary child like the other children do. I never think what I must do next or think about my vision. But, my mother taught me how to be brave, she taught me how to make my own path, and taught me what I should do so I will ready to face the world. Such as send me to follow study tour, accompany my best friend went overseas, etc.
When I was a child and a teen, it could be in elementary or high school, I had a lot of problem, such as talked at the class, annoying each other, made my hand’s friend got burn with fire from the matches I played. I was so selfish too, fought with my classmate, stole money from my mother, because I wanted to buy some snack or fried food, which is not allowed for a child, because it can make child sick, or get shore throat. I didn’t do my homework, etc. Until, I don’t have any friend. It was made me sad and well frustrated. But, that made me get a motivation. I promised to myself to change. I learned from past. Although, it was so hard, I believe that people can change, and be a better human. Well, that’s all about my naughtiness when I was in childhood, how about if I tell you about my achievement too?
Here goes the story, when I was in elementary school; I made a scenario for drama at the school camp. Everyone loves that so much. My other achievement is right now, in university. I was a committee for the closing ceremony of UPH festival, then before the Festival I became a committee of Mr. Tung Desem Waringin’s camp called Superteen. It was a great camp I ever followed. Actually, Superteen is changing my life. Made me a brave person and more self confidence and don’t shy anymore.
So, that’s all about my story. I think that our life is so beautiful and colorful. Our life is like piano. The white one presents the happiness, the black one present the sadness. No matter what life says, if we do it with happiness and willingness, all of the problem can be over. But, above them sometimes we can see the sheet music, in which always take us to higher level and more beautiful sound, also more reward and applause await if we have reached it.
