English Task | My Own Version of High Hopes in Life

High Hopes in Life

Well hello there! it's been a while since I wrote the dialogue task, you might have figured that I'm here to do my task and to pour the thoughts I have in my head as well. I believe that even though this is certainly not my first time writing in this specific blog, I suppose that maybe some of you are new so, allow me to introduce myself I am Byan Jauhar Saladin from XI Science 3 (attendee's number 09) and I'm the man behind this blog (of course it's a private blog you silly). No more chit chat, let's jump right into!

I came from a "mixed" background family (since we are not really indoctrinated to be something, and rather just go with what we're interested in), most of my family members from my mom were Javanese (Solo), while my dad's family were Bataknese (Jakarta). But I myself was born in Bandung, 24 September 2005, considering my mom's family moved here and stayed. I moved a lot when I was in preschool but since elementary school now I stayed in Bandung (thankfully). 

I was a student of Banjarsari elementary school and it's brought me a lot of memories (the good ones that I always want to remember, the bad ones that I to this date am trying to forget it, the humiliating ones that you know what I'm trying to do, etc). At the time people said that I was a clever innocent boy that carries a lot of creativity in my head, but because I was a little boy you should've known that we tend to play a lot than we study, I rarely study and hence it reflects inside my report card. The one and only time that I ever penetrated the "big ten" is when I'm in 2 grade, and my grades at elementary kept fluctuating since then. In elementary school, I was known as a drummer in my school because I sometimes play it in some important school events and I think I've impressed some girls (hehe) in my school. Then I arrived in 6 grade which should be a crucial study time for students to prepare themselves for the national exam, I being a clueless kid didn't really think about it and instead continued on playing, the word "continued on playing" here doesn't mean that all I do was playing games with my friends because every day I practice it quite seriously without really understanding on what I'm doing. In elementary school, I had two specific jobs that I really want to be which is to be a racing driver or a soldier. I really don't know the reason why those are my dream jobs at that time because I believe that It looks cool and sophisticated (even though it really doesn't affect anything).

I moved to Junior High School 5 which is a "favorite" junior high school respectively known for its intelligence and popularity, well me being an annoying boy who's just started the holy puberty didn't realize to what i will do and what i should do. So, instead of studying what i often do was playing games with my friends, this explains why my grades are down to the bottom when compared to my friends'. In grade 9 my family was starting to get worried if i didn't start studying as soon as possible my chance of getting into SMAN 3 Bandung is going to vanish, i can understand why for the reason that what i do instead of studying is playing games, which is a time consuming "useless" activity that i continuously do at night. But it all suddenly stopped when i decided to stop playing games (which is a demanding thing to do since i was kind of addicted to it), but yeah I thank god that it all ends there. I was a pretty persistent boy and if i had a mission nor a goal that i genuinely want, i would do anything to make it a reality, it is shown by my efforts in 9 grade where i could study at my tutoring class until 7pm and sometimes if i still have the spirit to review it i would. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the real essence of this blog (which should show my personal ambitions, strengths, weaknesses, and my efforts to make my ambitions happen). 

My friends said that i have the tendency to break the ice when we're in a serious situation where our faces would frown, and also if we're talking about dedication i can say that i have quite the dedication when it comes to finishing off tasks. I am a friendly human being that will be helpful and respectful when they do, but even when they don't i would find a way to make myself helpful and respectful to them. It is a must for us to be respectful and helpful to fellow humans, we can't really justify why we shouldn't respect others when they don't for the reason that i believe when we do respect and be helpful to them it would be a vice versa thing as sensible individuals.

Well, if you are going to ask about what i want to be right now is quite confusing, seeing that i have 3 major things that i want to do and be in the future. 1 is i always wanted to join the military academy to be an army officer to continue my father’s legacy and career, the reason is that i want to protect Indonesia at all cost and to serve my precious homeland. The second thing is I want to join the Institute of Technological Bandung (ITB) faculty of the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (STEI) be a computer engineer since my uncle is one and he told me that this job is one out of all the jobs out there that are still going to be needed in a long period of time. And last but not least, i want to be a designer x animator considering what I love to do sometimes is to draw random inanimate and animate objects such as cars, humans, sceneries, etc. To this day I’m still uncertain about what i undoubtedly want to do for a living, i hope that when the time has come i can pick the correct option without hesitation or whatsoever and that whatever my choice is i can be the best in my own field of expertise.

In order to realize my hopes and dreams, for now, I'm going to study as hard as i can, i might try to learn and fully immerse myself into those 3 jobs and see which one fits me better, i will make a visionary plan out of my dreams, i will always do my best and hope for the rest to Allah SWT, and not forgetting to ask for guidance and support from my family.

That's all that i have and that i can say about my ambition, any critics nor opinion are welcomed. See you on the next blog, take care goodbye!
