Really, what am I doing after graduate?
That question come repeatedly to my mind. What I am doing, what will I do next, how can I survive after graduate, what I really passionate about. If you ask me that question right now, I will say I don't know. I remember after graduated and get bachelor degree I joined with educator course in Bali, apply several jobs (sadly I didn't get), than apply for internship in special school, went to Jogjakarta to make little event for the children and learned jewelry, accompanied my parents for holiday, that's it. If you read my story probably you will disagree with me. I know, it's seems like I'm not gratitude with what I got. Unfortunately I still feel not enough, I am craving for new experience, new friends, and new places. I have plan for next one and a half years, but I still need to talk about my plan and what I feel.
That's why I called my sisters (Kak Buki and Kak Natti, my lovely friends from educator course) to get some inspiring and reflective thought. We met at Universitas Indonesia and got dinner together in Burgreen Restaurant (recommended !!). What we talk about? Many things from what we learned from educator course and how we implemented to our life and our project. This conversation brought me to same feeling which I feel when I'm in the course. They always make me feel amazing and positive (thanks a lot to them!!). I asked Kak Natti, how is work life? she answer that work is fun if you passionate about it. I keep thinking that many people around me somehow choose to come back to school than work, they said that work is boring, the only thing they like is money which help them to enjoy their life. Then I try to summarize from what people say that money will bring you to the happiness. But from Kak Natti's answer, it's different. She said that money it's not everything, you become small if you just only work for money. Really, I didn't get it for the first time! MONEY WILL MAKE YOU SMALL, I thought that a lot of money will give you to what you want.
She explained with short story about people who focus with money and he can buy everything he want. But we need to know that things like, clothes, bags, and gadget give you short pleasure. That things can be broke sometimes and always have limit to use. When we rich our self with many experience, friends, and knowledge those things will stay until we die. We can feel that happiness every time we share that story, that the authentic happiness. My friends also said night before I met with Kak Buki and Kak Natti, that money is just a paper which we believe that can help us to get what we want. The desire to get what we want and never satisfied also the other form of power make us trap into the hole of money orientation.
Then Kak Buki shared about her project which is so freaking cool. She really passionate about it, she learn many things to make her richer with the knowledge and connection. I can see, hear, and feel it from the way she talked, she work hard to make her dream come true. Kak Natti also do the same, she love writing and she did that, it's turn out that her book is inspiring many peoples. Kak Buki said that sometimes you need become water in the river, just let it flow. You will find difficulty and make you turn to other direction but that's okay. In that moment I try to understand what I'm really searching for and what I'm passionate. The answer need some process, I will stand with my idealism but still flexible and want to learn many thing from others people. That's why I can't answer it right now, but I believe whatever I take always help me to become better and richer with knowledge, experience, and friends.
