Looking at this small girl, you may have many or million questions. People even have different impressions on first seeing me. But when knowing me more, some people think I am the one who grows in a beautiful life, in a perfect teen: having a great family, so many friends and easily to make new friendships, a good even best education, a sweet relationship, and also always be smiling in almost every occasion.
Well, here I am. I am Sherlita Mentari Changgriawan and most people call me ‘Cher’, I am going to be 19 years old this October 7th. Most people say I’m a talkative one, but this is the fact: I was a completely quiet little girl, even my parents thought I was a dumb girl and brought me to a doctor since I even didn’t start to talk when I was 3 years old. In July 1994, when I had not been 4 years old, my parents registered me into Petra 9 Kindergarten but unfortunately the headmistress had rejected me as a new student since she knew that I still had not been fully 4 years old and thought that I would get many difficulties seeing I was not act as a “normal” child as I should be. Luckier, my mother strived harder and tried to make her sure that I was really a normal child, I was just more quiet than the other, so she allowed me to be a new student with an agreement which my parents had to be ready that their little girl could be dropped out if she could not follow the lesson well. My parents felt so much relieved, and I was happy enjoying my Kindergarten time. This is what I know: my parents just want to give me the best education they know, as Petra is well known as a good educated Christian school and it’s one of the best schools in Surabaya.
2 years after that, I was a Petra 9 Elementary school student. There, I’ve found my first best friends when I was in the third grade, and we are still be until now, I think they know me better than my other (best)friends. And my parents started to teach me to be independent such as let me study the lessons by myself etc.
I live with my parents, surely, and 2 brothers, this is the important one what you have to know that I love them so much, more than anything. And in Junior High School, I started to know the real meaning of family, the ones who are always willing to face any conditions of life together, they never leave one another and never be separated: we were crying together also being happy together, my precious family. We passed many things that have made us be better and better every single day, have made us realize that we need each other and we do love each other! Even I was born as a Christian and live as Christian for many years yet I’ve received Jesus for the first time and confessed Him as my personal savior in my third grade of Junior High School, what a great mercy and it’s very blissful for me. Since this time on, I give my life to serve God, I totally involve in my church’s Youth community, and I’m part of tambourine crews in some religious services. I thank God for giving me a chance to serve Him, so I can build my spiritual characteristic, I stay in God’s way and be closer with Him.
Continuing my life, I entered my High School world, studying at the same school name with my Junior High School, Petra 5, I enjoyed my High school moments so much. That’s why I totally agree with the “High School never ends” statement. I’ve found more and more friends, I learn about more characteristics that everyone has, I have got closer with my beloved family especially with my mom, she is my best friend! And here is also an “important” part to tell.. I have met my beloved boyfriend at my second grade of Senior High School, and we have been being in a relationship for 3 years now, and I’m happy as what we are now. Of course sometimes we got in troubles but we always try to keep ours well since what we keep not only about our relationship or his family with me and my family with him, but also about his family and my family’s relationship. And we totally don’t want to make both our family disappointed for giving us a precious trust, so we just always learn to be mature in facing anything together.
So here I am, a little girl who is growing and become an ordinary girl in her third semester in Pelita Harapan University, always learns and learns to be better every single day and does her best she could. Some times I might be bored and tired with all my activities, I might be in quarrel with my mother or with my boyfriend, I’m crying in my room every time I get hurt, and I’m totally not perfect as some people might think about me. I surrender my life for Him since as we know we don’t ever know the time God will come or call us. I stand for loving myself, with all my talents and my lacks to, and I do love my life-my imperfect life. So don’t ever judge anything about me when you are not close enough to know me and even just know my name, Sherlita, a girl whom always tries to give her best.
