Ambitions

Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullhi Wabarakatuh

Every human being has a dream to be accomplished, so it is with me. My dreams or target in this years that is,

First, gathering task on time, why? Because I want to be disciplined.

Second, my savings money should increase every week, because sometimes the need can not be planned. So, when someday I need a money n the sudden, I do not ask for money anymore to the my parents, although the money is actually from them.

Third, I can not have a boyfriend. Besides being banned in Islam, I also want to focus on learning and I think there will be a  lot of wasted time, as a result my study was disrupted.

And my dreams for the next 5 years is, I have graduation and serve as a teacher in my village, Sekadau.

I want to be agent of change for my village.

The first step I will take is to open the guidance of studying at home, and it’s free for Elementary School students  who want to study with me. Why? because I realize the level of education there is still low. I also want to be active in the organization that exist in the community.

I will be active again in Rohis to build my brother’s sister who is in Junior High School and Senior High School, so that they behave in accordance with the guidance of religion, because I think they are close to promiscuity. And through women’s organization I will mobilize women to participate in the progress for the village.

I will awaken teenagers and women who have been asleep neglected by time to move towards a better change.

And for that of course I will cooperate with my friends from this village who work the field of education and health. So this is my dreams 

Wassalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
