THE BEST DECISION IN MY LIFE

Sebuah karangan pendek yang pernah ku tulis untuk tugas kuliah semester 4 (tahun 2008) dulu. Memang banyak kesalahan penulisan dan penggunaan kata didalamnya. Tapi biarlah alami tanpa perubahan seperti pertama kali ditulis dulu. He..he..he...Biar tetap original. :-D

THE BEST DECISION IN MY LIFE

Eight years ago, my parents decided to take me to the resident of YPAC in Surakarta. At first, I felt so sad because I had to live far from my family. It was not easy for me. I didn’t know what to do; I didn’t know whom I should talk to. I felt so lonely, so strange. But finally, I realized that it was the best decision which was taken by my parents. I was getting understand why they took me there. The most important thing of their considerations is I would get therapy better than I got before. There were many therapists, more equipments, and more medicinal treatment.

But what I had got is more than that. I got many friends who taught me many things. They showed me what friendship is and how to be an independent girl. My loneliness was gone little by little. They convinced me that I am not alone. We shared anything, talked each other, and had many jokes. I was getting so close with them that I considered them as my family. They are very strong people. They influenced my point of view about this live. Spending my times for a year with them made me understand that I don’t have to regret for my condition, because I was not the only one person who feel that it’s very difficult to be different. I really realized that I have many lacks, I can’t move my body as well as normal people, but it doesn’t mean that I am a weak person. They made me see that all of things might be happen and all hopes would be come true when I believe in myself.

Being a part of the resident of YPAC is a special gift that I would never forget. There was a place where I learned how to survive and face any pain that come to me. I knew there is no reason for give up, there is no dream which out of reach. My parents had made a big decision which changed my whole life when they took me there. What I had been through there, made me more believe that God always have beautiful plan for me. I knew I have strength to change my weakness become my power, I knew praying and trying is the greatest power ever.

Although I don’t live there anymore, I feel the spirit of that place still accompany me up to now. At this time I just want to make my parents proud of me by doing my best to show how much I thankful to them. One more I have to say that my parents had made the best decision in my life.
