People who have socialized with me

       Many people have socialized with me since I was child, including my family and friends. Many kinds of people with their unique personality like introvert, extrovert, cheerful, short-tempered, easy-going and uptight person who usually close themselves against strangers.

               
       I have a big family. The family from my mother and my father have different culture and different routines. Let’s say my family from my mother, most of them are born on West Java, just like my mom. She was born in Indramayu, she was the youngest child of 4^th sisters, yeah all of my mom’s siblings are females and they are half sundanese and half chinese, because my grandmother is sundanese and my grandfather is chinese. Unfortunately both of them had passed away since my mom was still 6 years old. My mom and her siblings are taught to be tough women since they were child because they had to do all things by themselves, like studying, working and earning money ,washing dishes and clothes, also shopping for daily needs. Since I was child my mom usually brought me to their house to help her siblings' work and all of them loved me because I was a good and obedient boy. Now all of them live in Bandung,West Java. I haven’t visited them for 3 years and I really miss them so much.

               
        I live in Surabaya because my mom met my dad here. They are pen friends since they were teenager. So that’s why I live here at Surabaya. My father’s family is a very big one because my grandmother has given birth of 6 children, 2 of their childern are females and 4 are males. My father is also the youngest among them all, just like my mom. My father family’s background is pure chinese and cantonese. My grandmother is from China and my grandfather is from Hongkong. They used to wear cheongsam (for women) and changsan (for men) but not anymore. Both of them migrated from their nation to Indonesia in 1970 and decided to married and lived in Probolinggo for a long time, after about 10 years, they decided to moved to Surabaya from 1980 until now. All of my father siblings' have their own personalities, like my eldest uncle is humble and wise, my eldest aunt is very cheerful, my second uncle is humorous , my youngest aunt is a calm person. However, my youngest uncle is  an arrogant person because he always shows off his wealth and money, but never help other siblings when they are short in cash. And the last, my father was a short-tempered person then, now he is a patient and indulgent person. He has changed his personality since he became a church-goer . I think that’s a little story about my family.

               
        At school, I got a lot of friends because of it, including true and fake friends. My kindergarten friends were very friendly and cheerful just like me, but unfortunately I’ve forgotten them all. On elementary school, I had a lot of friends who liked sports and drawing. Surprisingly I met one of my elementary friends who now studies on the same university and same department, his name is Jeffrey Jaya. I had a bad experience though when I was in junior high school a gank of bad boys was formed and bully me, they like to make me feel hopeless and make me want to quit school, but my buddies and my parents always supported me and caught me when I fall. I have proved to the bully gank  that I passed my National Exam and got an excellent score. Right in their face!  I think that’s better than I'm fighting them and reacting to their mocking. In Senior High School I didn’t have many problems beside math subjects, Yeah, math is a terrifying ghost to people who don’t like to count and understand  complicated things. I always forgot the formulas and my teacher sometimes scolded me because I couldn't answer her questions. But in the end I could pass the tryout exams ,school exams, and the national exams. And of course the best score on my report was English subject , that’s why I chose English department for my study at university. Finally, everyone who have socialized with me , bad and good people, have their own role in my life, such as my mom who catch me when i fall and the bully who made me tougher and wiser now. I believe it's God's plan to take me into higher level in my life :) .
