Parents Know the Best

2012 was the most confusing year of mine. You know why? It was the point that I had to choose my college. Therefore, I was looking for and planned everything about college. University of Malang was the best for me, I thought. I prepared my document, form, and myself for the test. Sadly everything that I wanted to do was banned by my Dad. I wanted to study in Malang but my parents didn’t allow me. I had clear plan for my future college. After national examination, I was looking for information that related to the college that I wanted. Malang was the best choice. I prepared myself for the test by buying some books. I opened the University of Malang’s website every day. Thus, I knew everything about it and had an image what it would be. I noted the schedule of test and important information. A week after final or national examination passed, I consulted it to my parents. I tried to talk about my future and the college that I would take. My reason for choosing Malang was the English Department. I told them that I wanted to study English further. Then, they said no and left me behind. How could they say no when I already planned it for everything. I taught that they were not support me at all. I was very sad and angry. I was blaming my parents for everything. I didn’t talk to my Mom and Dad. I didn’t take any course for the test. I invited my friends to go out to forget my problem. One day, my Dad was coming to my room and talked to me. It was a little bit awkward. He said that my sister would take courses in the college in the next two years. My dad let me to take courses in Malang but he couldn’t finance for my sister’s college. He suggested me to take Undiksha as well before the SNMPTN started. He gave me money to register the test. I didn’t say anything. I got English Education Department from SNMPTN. My parents were so happy and me too. Even I couldn’t get what I wanted at first, I saved my sister future. I won’t selfish about money. Thus, I decided to take it as my path. Maybe it was a palm in my hands. I may have responsibility for my life but it doesn’t mean that I have to waste money only for my desire. I believe this is the best God’s plan for me.
