Today's date 30 June 2005, with anticipation and worry all the students gathered at the field level of the end of the ceremony to receive a graduation announcement envelopes. Three short years in school so we've been through, what times of all the existing high school is so beautiful. And remember it wanted to repeat every time. But everything has passed, people said after graduating high school was a real struggle. Where we have to really determine the choice of a way of life, want to continue studying or working.
And I feel very lucky, three days after the announcement, I was accepted to work at the district level education offices without having to go through any selection. Although only just labor fees, at least better than I have worked as a shopkeeper in the Mall. Or as unemployment are difficult to get a job.
But not yet six months I worked there, I decided to stop working. Early in 2006 I went to Jakarta to participate in working together with my best friend as a Sales on a national private company. Here is the point of the heaviest I've ever experienced, almost five months I worked for but never received a proper salary, since the target was never reached.
Finally I decided to stop working as a Sales, and follow in the footsteps of my friend .. He stopped working there first and sell meatballs with her brother. I took the opportunity, worked as a salesman meatballs. No problem for me, I'm sure it is a very appropriate way to survive in the Mother City. The important thing for me when it is able to eat, can be a place to stay for free and earn. Almost two months working as a seller of meatballs, I also decided to stop working, and accepted work in the mini market. Sad, embarrassed and with a sense that time is not known. All of the selection given to me and I am otherwise acceptable. But until one month I can not wait for the call. Finally, because the shame that continues to bother the family was in Jakarta, I returned to Lampung and hopes to soon get a call.
Truly, Allah is the regulator of everything that is in heaven and on earth. New one day I got home, the next day I had to get back to go to Jakarta immediately to contract signature. I do not care three days is Eid time, I immediately departed. Alhamdulillah, finally I got back to Jakarta and follow all the labor agreement and was not asked directly to work right away. So I can celebrate Eid with their families at home. And when considering all the struggles that and compare it to current conditions so I want to always smile. And that is filled with a victory smile.
