I Have a Dream :)

I am so proud of my sister who has been accepted in STIKES Bethesda (one of the best schools of nursing in Yogyakarta), she'll start her new life in the dorm start from next Tuesday. 

I admired how she keep struggling on her dream, being a nurse, since she was adolescent. It was my mom who first told her to be a nurse because my mother's dream was being a nurse too. She didn't able to study in nursing school due to the economic problem at that time. Why she didn't told me, her eldest daughter, to be a nurse to accomplish her dream? Well, since I was a toddler, I am a coward girl. I'm afraid with many things; blood, dark, snake, ghost, a loud sound, crowd, math, number..... Hahaha, that's why my mom never have any intention to create me to be a nurse.

If my parents' friends or relatives ask me and my sister what and who will we be, my sister will directly say 'I want to be a nurse!'. Contrary to me, I will always say, "Umm, I don't know." It doesn't mean that I am jealous and envy with my sister. I don't! As I said before, I proud of her, sincerely proud. She will be a good international nurse in the future, I believe it :)

Talking about dream, I am a person who keep changing my dream. I cannot stay only in one dream for a long time, I keep changing it time to time.

When I was a toddler, my dream was to be a singer, a professional one. A singer who has many fans, who will move from a stage to stage, followed by camera everywhere and people will adore me and my voice. I'' get plenty of money only with singing. Haha! I even still dream it until now, but it is not as strong as before.

When I was adolescent, I changed my dream to be a writer because I read many novels and began to write a novel at that time. A random novel because I couldn't finish it, it was only a book of my imagination of having a handsome eldest brother. Now I don't even know where I put the draft, maybe it's lost when my family were moving.

When I take a Language Program in High School, I changed my dream again to be a translator even though I have no idea how to be a translator and what translator's job is. I started to translating Indonesian song lyrics into English and vice versa at that time and I found it interesting, that's why I want to be a translator.

Since I am a student of English Letters of Sanata Dharma University, there are many courses I have to take related to English language, including Translation, and I took it last semester. Doesn't mean to be boastful, but I didn't feel it hard when my other friends mumbling and cursing the course, I enjoy my Translation class though I only got B ^^

In the beginning of this month, I met my senior who works at Australian Embassy as a Translator and Interpreter. She shared her experiences being a translator slash interpreter, her joy and sorrow. She said, a translator should have a good capability in English especially grammar. When I heard that, I was like, "HEAR THAT, Ester! You are not good in grammar, the best score you've got for your Structure(s) were C! Now, what will you do then in the future??? :((("

Up until now, I still cannot decide which path to choose. But I guess, entering this department was not a coincidence. I know, He, the one who created me already have a plan for me. I know there's no need to worry about my future, but doesn't mean I don't have to think about my future and make a plan for it, right? 

Even Oh Ha Ni (a major character of Playful Kiss, check my thought and review about this Korean drama here), a girl who is judged to be dumb and cannot do anything, succeed beating people's judgement when she struggling to do her best. Well, I think if I do my best I can beat my own judgement about myself then. Hopefully ^^

Thank you for reading my blog.

Until next time, take care and God bless you!
