Echa's life journey

3. Announcement

after passing the entrance exam of the state college, as usual I do my routine activities that I have been running during my graduation from High School, my activity is to become a private teacher of children, there is an additional activity at this time that is becoming a teacher najai tpq in a mosque not far from home. With the provision of religious knowledge that I had from my teacher first with the permission of Allah bismillah I gave myself to become a njai teacher at the mosque near my house.

Even though I became a najai teacher but I did not want to be called ustadzah because the call was heavy for me and with some consideration finally the santri were allowed to call me with the name mbak echa and I am happy that call because in addition to the call can familiarize and seem familiar not like if called ustadza there must be a shield if using the call.that's the activity I do while waiting for the announcement from campus. day by day I do my activities happily even though the salary can be not much but by seeing my students can read my special santri writing that has made a lot of progress makes me feel happy. all students are enthusiastic when going to start the lesson so that it makes akhu also more spirit plus their parents who care with their teachers who make the closeness between teachers and walimurids like family.

After waiting for almost a month, finally the day I was waiting for arrived the day the state college admission will be announced. With a thumping feeling I stepped my feet towards the campus where I chose my major by riding a microlet I arrived at the university I went to after getting off the microlet I walked down the campus entrance right on the in front of a building, precisely the rectorate building, there is a board with several names of prospective students who are selected to enter the university. I searched one by one starting from my name and until in the middle of a name I stopped... yes that's my name is also plastered on the board seemed to not believe I finally could enter the state university of my choice. I also bowed my gratitude to His will so that I could pass the selection as a student at university X. after being satisfied with the announcement I immediately went home to give good news to both my parents because I had successfully passed the university test. With a flowery heart I walked out of the campus I waited at the stop after the microlet passed me and I returned home happy. Arriving home there are those who welcome my arrival looking forward to the news that I brought yes. I immediately entered my house salami both my parents and also mbak aintun slowly I delivered this good news and after hearing it directly from my mouth my parents and mbak ainun immediately embraced me by giving a speech congratulations do not forget mbak ainun also congratulate me by giving a message do not ever despair whatever happens all there must be a silver lining be the best for us all proud... without feeling any clear twinkle dripping on my cheek and directly my mother stopped him and told me that these tears are very precious because these are the tears that will lead you to success because you have been succeeding in the early stages of continuing to struggle there are still later stages that are greater temptations.We finally ended the conversation and continued with the next activity
