Stephanie's Biography

My mom told me something about my childhood. 19 years ago, after I was born, I was placed in the baby room. In that baby room, I was not alone because there are a lot of other babies in that room too. And my mom placed in the other room that far from the baby room. One day, I don’t know why, I was crying so hard and make another babies cried too. Because all the babies were crying so it makes one baby room so noisy and disarray. And it made the nurses so panic. My mom, who placed in the other room, can hear that noise so my mom asked the nurse, “What happen with the babies? Why all the babies are crying?” And the nurse said, “We don’t know why, but your baby was crying so loud and it makes the other baby awake and began to cry too.”

From that story, I realized that since I was a baby, I was already being very noisy and talkative. And it happened until now. My friends around me always said that I am a talkative and friendly girl. Therefore, I can enliven the atmosphere. But it also does not always happen, because I seem to have two personalities. I can be talkative but in the other time I can be very quiet. I can be open to the other but also I can be very close to the other too. Sanguine is a jaunty, like the crowds and parties and extrovert temperament. While melancholic is an introvert temperament that likes to be alone and very affected by emotions. Because of that definition, I can say that I’m a sanguine-melancholic person.

19 years ago, precisely on May 24th 1990, I was born at early morning at 8 o’clock. I was born in Surabaya. And I have two brothers. Since I was born until now, I live with my family. Because I have two older brothers and I don’t have any brother or sister after me, which made me a little tomboy kid. Together with the time goes by, that personality began decrease. But I’m still easy to get along with anyone.

Now, I’m an university student in UPH. And now, I’m at the third semester. It means, I have been through my first year being the university student, unconscious that time goes by so quickly. I still remember how I was being the new student and learn how to live become a university student because university is different from high school. But now I can run it well. And I had many friends and it comes along from many different places.

There is something that will not be forgotten for me in my life. This year, I became a committee of two events held by UPH. Those are UPH Student Camp and UPH Festival 2009. Previously, when I was in the senior high school, I haven’t become a committee of any events. So, those events are my first and second experience for me. And thanks God that I can pass it through very well and the events are successful. And I have learned many things from those events, one of that is learning how to join an organization.

In my whole life, I learned how to be a tough girl. My family was not a rich family but we are always fulfilled. We have a business, food business. We sell some food at our café in Loop. I work there too, because I help my parents. That circumstance made me not become a lazy girl or spoiled girl. Because I have to learn and working too. And I always praise to the Lord, that I was born in this happy family with the great parents and brothers.
