Gratitude

It’s time!
NO MORE SCHOOL UNIFORM, FELLAS! Am officially a college girl :D

University of Indonesia, majoring in International Relations.
(typical exchange student eh?)

I wouldn’t able to achieve this if I were alone. My high school years had been PRICELESS. X-3 class of 2009, XI IPA 8 class of 2009, Dublin Scioto high School class of 2010, and XII IPA 3 class of 2010. No matter how long I usually rant about my high school, now that I think about it, it was A LOT of fun. The fact is I miss my school already, my class, my friends, even the teachers. And I graduated like a month ago. Or less.

So lemme thank everybody who has helped me for everything.

God, for His kindness. He practically paid all my hardwork (yeh know, reading social books at night and all), THANK YOU.

My beautiful family, my mom and dad for supporting me in difficult situations (like when didn’t know what I wanna be in the future) and for giving me freedom on deciding my own future, Adla and Fazel, my amazing sister and brother who always able to make me laugh And forget my pain for a while, THANK YOU.

XII IPA 3 class of 2010, I barely know you people, but I’m gonna say this : YOU GUYS ARE FREAKS. Sorry to say but NORMAL humans DO NOT study that much! Do you know how scared I was looking and the entire class sitting neatly at 6.30 in the morning, doing chemistry problems when the teacher wasn’t there? FREAKS. But if it wasn’t for you people, I wouldn’t even touch the book (no kidding here), I owe you, in a way. So THANK YOU.

My fellow 2009 buddies; Marsha, Ayu, Kiki, Ticeu, Uchup, Sizi, Zahra, Wewe and everyone I can’t mention one by one; for supporting and well, LAUGHING at me because I wore uniform when you guys didn’t, for sharing your experience of being a senior from last year, for lending and giving me books, for being there when I need you guys, THANK YOU.

Temen2 di Daniel, kelas reguler, kelas intensif SIMAK, kelas intensif SNMPTN (walau cuman sebentar), and of course, the amazing teachers! for trying to explain accounting to me, for forcing me to read bio, for telling me not to stop, THANK YOU.

Debaters, SEF 3: Marsha (err okay she’s SEF ITB now) marini gich flo ivan juan citra rany hurri lidya pixel, and SEF ITB especially my beloved mommy coach, Uphie, for helping me ease my burden, THANK YOU.

Dublin Scioto High School, my high school of junior year. It was a fabulous year! My classes were amazing: Systems of the Earth, Calculus, Music Theory, AP US Government & Politics, Band, Advanced ESL, Public Speaking, Argumentation & Debate, and Orchestra (I know right, I had Mr. Gray for 3 periods. EWWW lol jk). It was my happyhappy year, no bad grades, the classes were fun, my friends are super, yet I had learned A LOT of new thing in this school. maybe not academically, but the year was worth it. The school helped me mature myself, THANK YOU.

SMA Negeri 3 Bandung, where the worst of the worst can happen (okay I’m just kidding lol), my school of 3 years where I start as nobody. I used to hate my school so much, for the school system, for the grades, for the teachers (ehem). Yet I found myself boasting about my school to people so much. I’m proud of my high school, although studying at that school feels like torture sometimes (yeah maybe I need the torture to some extent), THANK YOU.

I believe there are A LOT of people I forget to mention here. Everybody, THANK YOU! Muchas gracias! Pray my future will be brighter than Sirius, if you will.
