achievement

(It was happen when I 2^nd grade)

One day, my Bahasa Teacher when I first grade—Mrs. Neulis—told to me that there was a short story competition by Balai Pustaka Bandung for all youth at West Java.

I thought, “Hm, it’s interesting. I want participate!”

I told about the competition to all my friends at XI Science 4 and XI Social 2. They were interested too.

My short story’s title was ‘Revolusi’ (Revolution). It was tells about the boy who wanted to be a hero for himself and his country with upright the justice and beat the bad people like corruptors and the bad civilians.

Three months later, I asked Mrs. Neulis about the winner. And she told me that I got the 7^th rank at West Java.

Oh my God… I was really surprise because my friend’s short stories were better than mine. How could my short story could be included the big ten?

After that, I more and more spirit to write another short story. Of course must be better than before... eventhough I was not included the big three.
