At first I was in vocational school with IT as my major. In that school I didn't enjoy that so much. In that school I realize thaty english score is better than others score. When I at my crossroad, I must choose between continue IT or choosing English that means I start new major again. My parents didn't agree with my choice at first, because they think I must continue my major when I at vocational school. But I can convince them so they agree with my choice. So finally here I am at English Education Department DWCU.

I have an straight family which put me in some pressure times. I have to put away what I want to do and obey to their rules. I have to ignore what I be with and do whatever they want. I can't be a good kid who can easily share what happen to me to my family or even anyone else. It make me easily to feel stress. But I always have decide weather I still can be happy or stuck in my deepest sorrow. I always found that I still alive in every morning. It make me realized that God want me to be happy and everything has its time. So every time I face those crossroads, I will always try to make my self sure that there is still "tomorrow" in my life.

I have a dream since I was in 5 years old. My uncle is a veterinarian. He has graduated from Gajah Mada university and become a veterinarian. That time I often come to his home for visiting him there. Since I saw him and accompany him to treat or cure his patients, I started to wanna be like him. As I also love animals, I want to have ability to ure and treat them well. Yet, when I applied in the same university as he had been graduated before, I couldn't pass. Even though that's a advice from my physic teacher. He told me I might pass the test, but I didn't. I wanna give up that time because I tried it twice. Yet, I realized I have another nterest, that is learn languages. I just think I fluent in English  and Korean already, so I think that's one of my passion. So, I changed my thinking to don't e so pessimistic , I have to get up and continue my path. (Ruth)

When I was a child, my father want me to be an architech and my mother want me to be an doctor. In that time I didn't really care about what I become in the future so I just listen what my parents told me to do. I'm trying to study the course that fit the major which is math, but I can't. I don't know why. One day, when I saw my father taught english to my brother, I think it was cool. So I become interested in english and I tell my parents that I want to be an english teacher. At first, my parents didn't accept my decision but when I try to show them that I can be better in english than math, my parents forcibly allowed me to become a teacher. They said, if you want to become a teacher you must accept the concequances because being a teacher is not easy. I believe that I can accept all the concequances and become a great teacher 😊. Now, my parents believes in me and they won't interfere with my future.

I was strugle with that matter, every time I make decision my parents will said " you must follow our decision you are still young you don't know anything". When I was finished my high school I tell my parents what I want to do with my life, how I live my life and my dream.After that my parents told me "If you think you can manage your own life, you're wrong!" To make my parents belive that I can manage own life, I treid to went out of my house and live alone. As the time pass I've shown to my parents that I can live my life by my own. For the first time in my life I make my own decision, and prove them that they're wrong.

Before I choose English Education Department, I have hard choice between IT and English. That because I was from vocational school which is I took IT as my major in the school. But in fact I didn't like it so much. I'm not good at math and logic things. So I'm very trying hard in the school. What I realize is, when I'm at school, my english score is good even better then others. When I at my crossroad to chose what major will I take in college, at first I take IT. Why I take that because of my parents tell me that I must continue my major in vocational school. But I don't like it. I cancel the application to that college and search another info. Finally I sign in DWCU but my parents keep telling me to take IT. In that time I tell them that I like english and I want take English Education as my major. At first my parents didn't think that was good choice. But I can convince them so they finally agree with my choice. So finally I accepted in English Education Department.

After I graduate in Senior High School, I confused what must I choose in University. I'm from science student, automatically I like science like chemistry and biology execpt maths. I told my mom that I want choose IT so I became an engineering, but my mom doesn't agree. My mom told that, if I became an engineering it will hard to find a job in real life, because I'm a woman. My mom suggest that I must choose EED (English Department). Actually I'm not really interested in English and my score in Senior High School is not really good. Honestly, I'm scared that I can't follow the lesson later. My mom told that EED is the best choice and easier to find a job later. Not only my mom, my father and my big family said the same. That is my big hard choice, because my choice will decide my future. After I think about 2 months, I decide to choose EED. After that, I promise to myself that I will do the best in EED although I like science

When I graduated from highschool, I still can decide what kind of path/career that i want to choose. Because of that, when someone suggest me to enter social department in Atma Jaya university, i just agreed. But, after entering Atma Jaya, I felt boring. I started to absent from the classes. Finally, I told my condition to my family. At first, they really angry, then they asked me about my dream. I'm not really sure about it, so they told me to take my time to think about it. After I make some reflections, I decide to enter english education department. I don't want to regret my decision, so I ask my family and best friends. They encourage me to take my road firmly. This experience is very precious. It's one of the embarrassing moment in my life, yet this experience awaken me about the importance of every decision that I make.

As I was born in a family of nurses, I was well-exposed to medicine issues all my life. Both my parents were nurses and they encouraged me to prepare myself to be a doctor.
The problem occured when my science scores were below the required standard. I was struggling a lot dealing with science subjects. My best scores were language subjects. I was a good achiever in Bahasa Indonesia, English, as well as Javanese.
The hardest time came when I had to decide what major I will go for my university. Knowing the fact that being a teacher was not a good job with good income, my dad was still trying to get me to study medicine. As it was not supported by a high enrollment test score, I was not accepted in a medicine faculty. Then I ended it up by getting a major that suited my potential, being a language teacher. It was one of my hard crossroads in my life.
With my decision back then, I couldn't thankful enough! (Mera)
