LIFE ABOVE THE BOTTOM
EPISODE 1: THE BEGINNING OF LIFE'S JOURNEY
June 13, 2011
Early entrance to private vocational high school in the city of Balikpapan.
When I first entered school I felt dropped out and felt like a failure because I was unable to enter public school but as time went on I got used to the environmental conditions. I keep trying to be better and better, sometimes I always hear people talking about my school. Some say school thugs, school likes brawls, but I don't care about it all.
a few months after I had to be betrayed by an ex-lover he cheated on me, I began to feel anger in my heart so big it made me want to destroy everything but I got the Advice of a friend "If you want to do something good, be better". Said my friend to me.
From that moment I started to change everything, I had to be better than before. After it all passed I started to fix everything,
school exams will begin next month.
I had to prepare to get good grades, I started to forget about the problems that had happened. I focused on continuing to study until the time that awaited came too, the odd semester exam began.
Day after day passed finally the odd semester exam was completed, arriving at the taking of the 'semester's test scores, at that time who took the grades of the mother's semester exam , I felt very afraid that my grades were too bad and would be scolded, but a few minutes after leaving the room I saw my mother's face smiling, I asked my mother "what about my odd semester test scores" 'my mom told me about my test scores "you're ranked 1".
I heard that I was immediately grateful by saying Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah,
I was thrilled to get such a satisfying score from my hard work during the odd semester exam.
my mother and I rushed home but before we went home we ate at the restaurant where our family often ate if we went out together for a walk around the city of Balikpapan. I feel happy and happy, after arriving home I want to collect my father's promise if I rank one , I'll buy a big bike but my dad will buy it on my 20th birthday.
10 Months passed.
I chose basketball as an extra curricular school.I began diligent training and Sparing with other school schools.
A few months after entering extra-curricular basketball. Our basketball team heard that would be a basketball tournament between schools organized by SMAN 1 BALIKPAPAN (SMANSA CUP 2012). We rushed to register our basketball team in the tournament held by SMAN 1 BALIKPAPAN.
At that time who registered in the tournament it was me and my teammates. After applying we get the no participant and the name of the school origin.
A few days after registration we took the schedule and we saw our first opponent the hosts themselves being our first opponent in the 2012 SMANSA CUP tournament.
Our initial match started on Thursday afternoon.we still have two more days before the tournament starts.
Two days passed.
Finally the time we were waiting for arrived. We started to prepare before the game, our team was surprised by the posture of the basketball players from the host was so big and fat but we still have the spirit of no fear in the slightest against our opponents.
Arrived when his first Quartter basketball game began. During the first Quartter the score we were behind (8-20) until the fourth Quartter was still behind our opponent (8-35). We also resigned there is no hope to win before the time runs out I replaced the playmaker in my team who was very tired. The match resumed but I was pushed back by the opposing team which resulted in my left hand cracking and severe injury.
Match Completed. Our team felt like they failed in today's game but the coach always motivates me to always be excited because this is just the beginning of my basketball team journey.
SERIATE...
