This story is dedicated to my Higher Intermediate 4 students of LB LIA CIbubur term 2004-Term IV, year of 2020.
After hearing and seeing all of your struggles in finishing high school along with graduating from Higher Intermediate 4 in LIA, whether you're in 12th grade or if you just got into High School, the moment brings me back my memories to 23 years ago (23 has always been my number in my life, guess it's right to write this story to you) when I was still in High School. Just like all of you, I was also struggling to get good grades. Long way before I'm being an adult with too many responsibilities like today. I may be getting older, but I still feel the same just like 23 years ago, only with more responsibilities. And I'm still trying hard to learn how to be a responsible adult.
I was just like all of you, struggling with my grades because I wanted to learn in Aussie, Melbourne to be precise. Because most High Schools in Aussie at that time accepting students from Al-Azhar just by seeing the track record of the scores from the 10th grade. Though the real problems actually more than just studying and managing time, as the adults were also struggling at that time. My parents, other adults, and Indonesia herself.
Why I write this story is because I feel like we're so bored with what we have at the moment, because of this pandemic. Ask Byan, Akmal and Sarah coz they know the matter too well that they can write the same thing with 3 different pieces of thoughts. That's literally 27 different ideas about COVID-19 wrapped up in their essays. What a blessing in disguise that they can turn the news of the year into a tool to graduate from HI-4. So hopefully, this story can bring you to another lapse of time where the problems were different but the fear was almost the same.
This to remind us to always see the bright side, to always see the silver lining of every bad things or events that happen. There's always a blessing in disguise, you only need to pray and think positive. In the end everything will be fine. If it's not fine, then it doesn't end yet.
