Hello everyone, introductions yes.


My name is Candika Kusuma, I am now 3rd grade Junior High School. That means I'll be going to SMK soon. My name is a classic. That's because my mom really likes the temples around our region.


There are many magnificent temples standing. One of them is Prambanan Temple, Sewu, Boko, Plaosan, Sojiwan, etc. Mama's love for the temple made me called "the temple".


I was born in Tunka Village. Desaku is a village located in Klaten Regency, Central Java. A cool and beautiful village.


I have a handsome, dashing, tall, and smart sister. I dreamt as high as I could because of my brother. Kak Krishna studied at the best university in Indonesia. Call it the University of Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta.


The name UGM feels familiar to our ears. How not, it is a favorite campus of almost everyone. Kak Krishna is a new student in International Relations.


My brother wanted to be a good diplomat. I have a big salary to make my mom and me happy. Brother also has a dream to bring us abroad (Sometimes later).


My mother was a traveling merchant. Our lives are all pasan. But my mom has high dreams. Children must be successful and get college.


...


(One Morning - 2007).


I graduated Junior High and wanted to go to Vocational High School (SMK). In my shadow after school. I can work abroad to be TKW. However, Krishna forbade it. But the name is mind - the mind of a small child who often sees his neighbors in high school and graduate, work, and bring a lot of money.


"Mama, Brother ... I want a list of schools in SMK." I said


"What department, brother?" ask brother


"Accounting, brother." I said


But my brother still does not accept if I enter SMK. He wishes I'd gone to high school like him. Enter the IPA class with a myriad of achievements and always get the best grades.


Sister is also applying to study at UGM with achievement track. Only that path can you use.


"Why not go to High School? I can go to college." asked my brother


"I don't like to see Physics and Chemistry" I said


I did avoid those 2 subjects. I'm afraid I'm told to practice using something chemical. It would be dangerous, I thought.


"Jaudah wants to go to high school or SMK is the same. If you want to go to college you can too" said mom to divorce us both


"Jaudah sister lags, it's for sister. So you can choose for yourself" said the sister.


That morning after breakfast. I was picked up by my best friend. His name is Dira, he's my same Junior High friend - just wanted to register at SMK country near home.


"Candy let's go." call Dira


"Tu was picked up by Dira, heart-heart on the road ya" said mama


Dira went straight into my house. To him, my home is like his. So normally, I'm also happy to have a friend like her.


I immediately kissed the back of my mother and brother's hands. But before that, I didn't forget to poke on brother.


"What day would you like to do?" much


"So I'm going to Yogya, brother. Want to get together maba (new students)" he said


"A true college, my friend. Don't find a boyfriend." my god


"Heh little boy has been talking about girlfriend - boyfriend only. Watch out for you if you dare to date. Brother sentil also you know" he said while pinching my chubby cheeks.


My mother asked me to leave immediately. Dira and I took off on a paddle bike. We only have an astrea 800 motor. The bike was bought with great difficulty by my mother.


Dira and I went together and soon arrived at SMK which we meant. We then register and enter the file. I also met a lot of other Junior High friends. Also some friends I know through pasraman (non-formal school in my religion).


"Can, here's the building's money. Which one did you choose?" ask Dira.


"So said mom and sister. I was told to choose the middle." I answered


Dira just nodded his head. Looks like he also chose the same building donation as me. We were then given a date for SMK's entrance selection.


...


(School announcement)


I slowly opened the leaflet and it turned out to be beyond my expectations. Dira surprised me too, though,


"Candi, I'm in Accounting A" said Dira


I just smiled and said congratulations to him.


"Congratulations Dir" I said


Me and Dira then went to see mom and sister. They smiled and waved their hands.


"Where, Deck?" ask brother Krishna


I just handed the envelope to my sister. He opened it and then read the contents. There was a disappointed face.


"How, Krish?" ask mama


He then showed the paper to his mother. Mama's face was also lethargic.


"No, I didn't pass" said my mom


Dira was shocked, he did not expect this to happen. Though I entered the top 3 with good grades in my Junior High.


"This must be something wrong" Dira said


Brother then went to the selection committee room.


"Where's brother?" much


"True, you're not welcome" said the older brother


"Where do you want to go to school?" ask mama


I kept looking at the disappointed face of me. Although my NEM score is good and the rapot is also good (always in the top 3). Still I lost the SMK entrance selection.


I also decided to go to private school near home. The school said people were not recommended. The school is famous for its outcasts and mischievous girls. Some of the students got pregnant first. That's what makes the school such a bad image.


"I want to go to school at SMK Wasis." I said


"But, Can." protested Dira


My brother and I smiled. They caressed my hair. I'm glad they're not mad at me.


"The diamond is still a diamond. Wherever you are, as long as you're showing good norms, you can" said Mama


"Dek, promise your brother to continue to excel and do not be discouraged" said the brother


I hugged them both. I felt no tears in my eyes because I let them down. I then looked at Dira and around the school with a sharp look.


"Look, I'll show you that I'm an achievement and not an ordinary child. I will definitely be superior to the students in this School." I said in my heart


It hurts, but that's the truth. Me and some other Junior High friends hang unacceptably in the school. Finally we headed to the wasis school.


I step inside. Although the school is not as big as before. But it feels warm. I went into the registration room and we were immediately accepted.


"I'm sorry to ask, graduates here are there any college?" much


"There, they went on to school in banking. There are people who become bank employees and successful careers" said the teacher who I know his name Bu Puji (from his name tag).


"If the state campus, such as UGM for example?" ask me again


"Not yet, you will" said Bu Puji


I just nodded and promised to help raise the image of this school as long as I was a student. Maybe this is how God got me into private school. So that I can be more active and learn really.


I went to Accounting Department. Students enrolled about 20 people. Because it is deserted its fans. But I always take it positively.


"Like a private, I can definitely excel." I murmured inwardly


I then looked at the classroom and got acquainted with some other children. The majors in this School are Accounting, Office Administration, and Sales (marketing).


We were also given that that another week would be included in MOS (Student Orientation Period). I was given a flyer by Osis. The leaflet contains about the rules during the MOS follow for 3 days.
