MY Journey in Mathematics� World

 

My name is Muhammad arief billah. I was born in a modest family who lived in a village called village kemang . I have father, his name is Komarudin, and my mother�s name is Nurlaili and one sister, her name Widya. I've started to like math since I was in elementary school. I always get the high value for this lesson. Since grade 1 elementary school, I was always assigned the first champion in the class. My mother was told me that I was able to calculate exactly since I was 3 years old. Then I was graduating elementary school with a very satisfying score. My Elementary School was named Elementary School number 110 Palembang. Then I went to Junior High School number 30 Palembang. At this school I never failed to get the highest score for math. Until I graduated from this school, with great results.

 

My journey in the world of mathematics got exams at the moment I entered senior high school. I went to Senior High School South Sumatra Sampoerna Academy. Before I get into this school, I have to pass a series of tests given. And finally I get through it with difficulty.  I'll tell you my first nightmare in the world of mathematics that has been my life for almost 16 years.
          Now I will tell you my worst experience for the first time in the world of mathematics. I'll tell you the short story form as follows:

"Arief, wake up .It's already morning. �Said Kak Sham tries to wake me from my sleep that likes a baby.
        "Yes brother, five more minutes please." said me.
          Then i go down from my bed soft that really comfortable. That morning at the hostel was very quiet, with cold air that penetrating to the bone. Obviously since this is still at 5 am. I live in the room number 106 in the dorm D. I lived in this room with Kak Sham, he is a grade 12, and Kak Kak Ari and Kak Ade that is grade 11, and me as grade 10 in Senior High Schools of South Sumatra Sampoerna Academy. We are one family often get up in the morning in addition to doing the dawn prayer, we woke up early as well to learn as a test or exercise class later.
        At that moment I decided to learn geography because geography teacher Mr. Eko as we said there would be exercises in class. Then I was just learning that lesson without thinking, what other subjects should be learned. When training is given, I'm very happy because I can do it easily, and I got a score of 100. My happiness was getting to be so when my parents called and said that I have a new laptop. My feeling very happy, for her taste as flew in the sky with a beautiful angel. But my happiness did not last long as I know that after this there will be a math test simultaneously in the school hall

"Mal, why did not you tell me that there is a math test today?" Asked me to malda.                                                                                                                                                 "I don�t know Rief . Student of X.1 was conducted by Mr. Adi suddenly to test whether we really understand it or not about the lessons he gave to us. "Answer malda.
         "But I had no preparation whatsoever, how could I answer the questions given,  Mal." Said me.
         "I don�t learn Rif last night; I fell asleep in the room.�Malda replied.

    
      Finally, I am working on a math test given Pak Adi armed with makeshift lessons and just based on what I remember about the lessons that Mr. Adi gave to me.
     At that time my body felt shackled by the chains and tied on a big pole. That's because at that time my body can not move at all. My body can only tremble like an exhausted look headless ghost.
     "Time-out guys." Said Mr. Adi with his loud voice like speaker of mosque.
      With a heavy heart I collect my test paper.  All my friends, including me could only be silent and resigned to the situation

�It so fast Rif, already 4 pm. Its time we got ready to go back to the dorm. "Said Malda to me.
     "Yes Mal, maybe it is because math test today." Answer me.
     '' I also think the same as you Rif, maybe this is true because math test today. "Malda said in a voice that is not too audible.
    "The spirit I have also disappeared from the mall when I heard that today there are math test, after this I'm going to bed to rest my mind." Said me, with my expression that was like a zombie.
     "I'm going to bed Rif, my head feels like a bomb and explode it." Answer Malda
      I went back to my room in the hostel D. then I put my bag in the closet and jump into my bed soft and comfortable.
    "Rif, is not like usually you go back from school directly go to bed, usually there are something that you do." asked Kak Sham.
    "I don�t have any spirit today kak." Answer me.
    " why Rif " asked Kak Sham.
"Sorry kak, I�m not going to discuss it now." Replied me
"Well, take a break." Replied kak Sham. "

After that I forced myself to sleep soundly, so I can be a bit forgotten the incident today. In my dream I saw both my parents who seemed to invite me to a small park on road verges.
             "Son, why you so sad face" asked my mother.
             "Yeah kid, really sad face?" Ask my father.
             "I do okay, Dad, Mom." Answer me with tears in his eyes.
             "If baseball's okay crying" asked my mother.
             "Rif, why you are cry?" My dad asked as he wiped the tears on my cheeks.
    I was told all my events naturally to my parents crying. I also could not hold back my tears increasingly heavy pouring from my eyes. My mother immediately hugs me closely. My father also hugs my body.
"Come on son, it is called life." Replied my mother.
"Yes dear, just forget about it, so it's just all this as a lesson to you." He says he advise me.
"Well Mom, Dad." Answer me, smiling.
    They went back hugs tightly. At that time I immediately woke up from my sleep. I have been feeling much better now. I have realized that this is a lesson to me that I always learn quite seriously.

           "How Rif, better now?" Tanya Kak Sham.
           "Alhamdulillah Kak, is better." Answer me, smiling.
           " Alhamdulillah." Said Kak Sham.
            Now I've promised myself to become a better person, and also studied with were full so I can be happy and be proud of both my parents. And also so that I can achieve my goals. I was excited about returning to my new life and better.


            That's his story, how her for the first time when I was not studying math that makes me have to repeat or what we often call "remedial". After the events are it I started to work hard to get good grades. And the result is I get the high score of semester one mathematics with a value of 90 or A * in my class.

Now I'm getting a very valuable experience. Learning how to not be a snob and easily satisfied with what I can. I also realized life is not always easy; there are definitely obstacles that we must pass. The obstacles are also given not to hinder me to achieve my goals. But this goal was given to test whether or not i get a goal. And also God has another purpose for our lives for make it better. We as human beings have always tried to be a more good, with a lot of hope and purpose that we can live a life full of color don�t make us feel empty. If there is no obstacle or test, then we might as well be living in the empty space. There is not anything that can make sense of delight to our soul. In my heart, Life is an adventure with the end goal or our ambitions. In this adventure many obstacles that we must pass to reach our goals. This is what I feel as a human.
