THE POOR GIRL'S AMBITION

Scholarship Offer

I live with my family in a slum far from decent . Every child born here is usually only able to attend school only until the level of Junior High due to limited costs from our parents .Living from the lack of education environment makes many parents marry their children at a relatively young age to reduce the burden of parents who provide a living born to their children.

But in addition to marrying young, many teenagers who wandered into the city to complain of fate and seek fortune there .

Awareness of changing quality of life is still very low, so they only send their children to nine years. There are still many citizens who argue that education will not enrich someone, so they will provide more capital when their children marry or graduate school than they have to go to college .

For rich people, college can be easily obtained . By simply asking parents only 'they can go to college easily . But for a society like ours, every child should not dream. Because the child's life will be controlled by their parents each .

I actually really hate the thought - a colossal thought like this.Why I change it, but what power , I myself also do not have any ability - anything. The ability of potential and the ability to change my view is clearly very lacking, considering that I myself come from a person who has nothing ,just like them.I just pray that everything will change slowly - land and Government will provide opportunities for the poor to receive proper education .

Today is Sunday . I worked all day at home helping my mom . Starting from cooking, washing.mopping, sweeping and so on. I feel like this is my job . Every day I live it with sincerity .

If you want to play I don't have any close friends . At my old High School which was my favorite High School in my city, I had no close friends at all because I was just busy with my books and lessons . I feel excluded from my friends because I am less sociable. But that's not the reason . The main reason they don't like me is because I'm poor . Even so poor maybe that they look disgusted to me . I always try to say hello and respect them . But still I was only looked at one eye by them. I still remember when in High School I wore shoes that were not worth wearing they insulted me completely. No one can accept me . In their eyes I was trash .

Poverty makes me immune and also survive life . Not always living life with tears and tears just because of a circumstance . Precisely , we must try to change the situation for the better . Life is not easy, so no matter how much the test of God, we must patiently accept - He.Man is obliged to try and pray while God determines we will succeed or even fail in the future.

As I was daydreaming I heard a knock on the door from the front

stok ...tok ..

"Aulia quickly opened the door!", my stepmother snapped resuscitating me from my daydream

I immediately opened the worn-out door.After I opened I was very surprised by the arrival of my principal

"Let's get in", I said, letting her in.

The headmaster smiled and entered my small house. I also let him sit down . I also called my father and mother who were inside.

The headmaster began his conversation:

"Aulia, I'm here to offer you a scholarship, son !. You know you are a diligent and accomplished child . You don't want to go to college, kid . The cost problem has registered you in university X in city A . You want to be your foster parent . The day after tomorrow prepare yourself to move to A. "

"Thank you very much sir for his help but I ask my father's permission first whether you can go to college or not sir" said Aulia

"Father let you son" said Aulia's father

"Thank you ", said Aulia

"Father don't have to worry about Aulia studying because there are scholarships and living costs. I registered it yesterday . Oh yes Aulia if there will be anything - can you call Mr ", continued the principal

..."Aulia is very grateful to you .I will really learn and will not disappoint you", said Aulia really...

After a long explanation about the terms of the scholarship, the headmaster finally went home. He promised to be Aulia's foster parents while in town A because there happened to be a relative who lived in the city and later the plan Aulia will live with the relatives of the principal's father to monitor Aulia's association as she will be away from home.

Aulia was so happy that she would finally be able to go to college in accordance with her expectations. Aulia promised herself and her father that she would change the family economy . That was Aulia's most ama ma intent. Aulia will learn really - really because there are people who help her sincerely .A smile was on his lips .

"Sir, Ms. Aulia asked for her blessing to go to college . Doain me in order to be a better person after college later", said Aulia

"Father is very proud of you to be easy - hopefully your sisters can be like you later" said Mr. Aulia who looked teary

"Based on the village girl", Aulia's stepmother's inner envy

That is the luck that comes to me . When I am weak and helpless and give up on God's destiny, a miracle comes my way. At first I still thought this was just my illusion and also my dream in broad daylight . But apparently this is real. I will be excited about what I once doubted was college .

I prepared everything from the beginning . Immediately I packed my clothes and also I brought my books at High School to study there later to add to my knowledge.

I don't want to lose to poverty . There will certainly be a way to overcome it, namely through education as high as - height .I will prove to them that someday, I will succeed . I will make myself a successful person so that I deserve to be called a quality human being and also have a good job in the future .

Life will always need a struggle . This was the beginning of my real struggle. Truly in my determination, I want to eradicate poverty through quality education for the provision of my life later .
