Story Cake Of My Graduation

Few weeks ago I walked around the town. I had leisure time at that time, so I walked few bit far away from my house. I went to my campus. Evidently, there was graduation ceremony. It was so crowded. I stopped. This situation remembered me to my graduation some years ago.

That was my special day, my graduation. I waited that moment for long time. It was special moment for every university students, including me. But I did not want to celebrate it excessively. For me, graduated from my bachelor was not the end. After this, I had to prepare for my professional class. So it was not over yet.

I had done something simple. I did not wear kebaya. I wore casual outfit. I thought it was simpler coz nobody knew what I wore. My clothes were covered by Toga, the uniform of graduation. I also did not buy Toga. I rent it. I did not go to saloon. I had to make up by my self. Although I did something simple, it did not mean I was not happy. I just thought that graduation was not the end of everything. I had to continue for professional class. So, for me, preparing for new class was more important.

I could not sleep at that time. I slept only 1 hour. I woke up so early in morning then prepared my self for my graduation. I went to graduation ceremony with my parents by taxi coz we did not have a car. We arrived 1 hour before the ceremony began. We did rehearsal and made sure that everything was complete.

When the graduation ceremony began, suddenly, I got mix feeling. I was not only happy, but also nervous. It was not easy for me to get my bachelor. From the 1st time I studied in university, I had target for my study. My close friends and I made a promise that we would finish our study only for 3,5 years. I studied hard and did my task well. I got good score for my study so I could take my senior class. I did my graduating paper when I was in 5th semester. I took my lecture’s project. I thought it would help me to achieve my target. Unfortunately, my experiment was failed. I had to repeat it. It made me desperate.

I was so sad. I saw my best friends got their presentation of final paper. I cried on the bus on the way home. My heart broke. I saw not only my friends but also my nephew graduated from university. I was so sad. I did not come to their graduation. I just sent congratulation by short message.

For somedays, I did not go to campus. I just stayed at home, thought, and cried. My parents knew about that. My dad told me that it was okay if I wanted to cry and felt sad, but I had to wake up immediately. My failure was not the end of everything. What my Dad said made me aware that I had to move on, repeate my experiment. My sadness would not fix anything.

I just need to do it diligently and pray that I would not fail again. I had new target. I would finish my project less than 6 months. It meant I had to fight and focus only in my experiment. I did not take any subject.

Thanks God, everything ran well. Although I had to sacrifice my leisure and me time with my friends, but I was so happy coz I finished my experiment. I got my final paper and my presentation well. I graduated even though I finished my study for 4 years. But I felt sincere. Everybody had their own life story. Maybe this was mine.
