My Spiritual Challenge

When I was in vocational high school on third grade, I did not completely have an idea to continue my study in college.

Actually I really wanted studying in college but I felt that I could not do that because of economic capability. I did not mean that I gave up for that situation, but nothing I could do. Although I wouldn’t had continued my study in college, I had a plan that I would look for a job. But the human just could have plans, everything which would be happen by god.

One day, where all of my friends were busy talking about their plans to continue their study happily. I was also happy because they could go to college. So, how about me? I just become a good listener, silent, and just could smile at them.

Then one of my friends came closer to me and he asked me about my plans after graduating from the school;

“How about you? Which university are you going to take?” Arif said.

“I don’t know. Probably, I won’t continue my study, I will look for a job” I replied.

“Why? You are good student. I’m sure that you must be accepted in college which you’ll take. You have to try make registration for Bidikmisi Scholarship” He suggested me.

After he gave me some information about how to registrate and got the application, immediately I did as what he suggested. But when I would go online registration, I had made big mistakes where made some of my friends could not made the online registration. Because it had been done final. I was so confused what I should do. I kept to try finding the ways to overcome the problem. Finally, I begged a help by calling Help Desk and sending e-mail. Then, they replied me that was about how to cancel the final of the registration before. I had to go my headmaster’s home with my father and two my friends to get some of requirements which were suggested by Help Desk. I kept to struggle to get them, then we got them. Fortunately, my friends could made registration as I had done.

According to the information I got that there were a lot of students who came from another places made registration for it. It meant I had a lot of threatened. It was not only about the threatened but also I had to wait for an announcement for about two months. Since in that time, I were always frightened that I would fail to get the scholarship and I couldn’t sleep well because I always thought it. So, I was like to get a spiritual challenge. Here I got a challenge where I had to struggle to get the scholarship so that I could go to college. I had to responsible for my big mistakes for my friends. At last, I could continue my study in college because of having the scholarship.
