God answered my mam's prayer

I just graduated some weeks ago as a bachelor of English literature in State Islamic University in Surabaya. I did my research from March until July. It was not an easy thing that I passed. It was not because the difficult material of my research, but the hard thing is from my heart. I didn't confident enough doing the project.

My thesis adviser sometimes made me falling down but my spirit was more bigger than my fear. I chosen to always continue doing my thesis. She has been giving her whole time generously to guide me step by step from beginning to the process of writing until finishing my thesis. Her words always inspired me and brought me to higher level of thinking with critical questions and constructive to better work. What I learned from her was not only how to wrote a thesis or to met the graduation requirement, but also how to viewed this words from a new perspective. Without her kindness and patience instruction, it was possible for me to finish this thesis.

That's just a little flashback about my last project while I still a undergraduate student. Several weeks before I graduated, I was looking for a job. Actually, I have been teaching as an English teacher for primary students in one of the Islamic school in Sidoarjo. I often want to resign because I though that I'm just an ordinary person and I never won anything during my collage. Not only that, I also felt that I was a fool one. I don't know why the time runs too fast. A mount later I still arbitrarily to me, myself.

Now, I'm teaching in Senior High School and Vocational High School. For about two weeks I adaptation with my class, I teach six classes for SHS, five classes for vocational high school students and one class for primary students. I also teach at course for the preparation for national examination 2016. At the first time, teaching is not an easy thing, moreover I was not a student majoring in education. Because of that, I always learned how to make the students understand the material. One month I through, I can't believe that my students like the way I teach. I try little by little. I proud for my past that ever had no confident to me, myself, I often given up and of course I ever worked hard to fought my enemy too.

To be a teacher might be one of my mam's prayer. Long time ago she wanted me to be a teacher. Yes, it's the answer, Allah proves it.
