Learning english
(The second reason I
survive)
My name is
Ichsan. I was born on 15 January 1996. I was 15 years old. I lived with a
family that were warm and happy, even though I only lived together with my
mother in a small but comfortable house, my mother suffered from heart disease
which caused it my mother can not do a lot of activities. My father had died
when he sold his kidney to get money to pay off the cost of labor, when it was
the mother who gave birth were not yet born when her amniotic fluid had been
broken first and lead labor in quik. And
by the time I was born, my father who had only one kidney does not live long.
What else do his job as a construction worker making expend a lot of energy every
day. I was 3 weeks at the time and I had
orphaned. My mother continued to take care of the money from my father's kidney
sales. Once my life was not like this, me and my mother still have a house and
various equipment. But one day when my mother tried to invest the money that is
actually tricked my mother, and our lives were full of debts. I was a little who can not help at the time and I just made
my mom became difficult with tears. Because debt collectors continue to chase,
my mother took me away from Yogya to Jakarta to escape . Live in Jakarta were
very cruel. However, my mother continued to take care of everything. And now
the mother is not able to do a lot of activities and it's my turn to replace
it. I work everyday as scavengers. There is no other job I can do. I tried to
work construction but immediately rejected because my body was small and thin,
and I did not go to school. Being scavengers I was very grateful. At least I
could buy food for the day to day.
One day when
I was scavenging trash bins I slipped and almost fell off the bridge, but lucky
a foreign national man took my hand and
pulled me. I really appreciate .but I'm sure he could not understand what I
say. He gave me a handkerchief to keep the blood out of my arm. He spoke little
and continue to roll the handkerchief in my arms until someone from a distance
called. He left his business card and he talked to me a little. The word that
kept on repet but I could not understand and then he walked over to his friend,
and then go. I still sat transfixed I kept recalling the events that had just
occurred and start thinking about how if I had fallen. And I'm so very grateful
to her , and I will not forget this incident. I promise one day I'll meet and expressed "gratitude" to the
English language. Let's meet once again.
Now I start
thinking of ways how to I can speak English. And keeping promises .i began to turn
my brain suddenly a wind-blown paper toward my face. And I began to open up the
scrap of paper that read "debating competition english" I began to
widen my eyes when I read "the winners will be educated in America for
free". Reading it made me motivated and re-thinking how I can master
english, so while I do not have a cost for the school. I started thinking and
at an angle that eventually stopped contorting my eyes when I saw the writing on
the package indomie . I did not go to school, but my mother taught me how to
spell the letters slightly in english. then I separated all the packets that
there is english. I remembered that on the corner across the
street there is a special school of english. I went to school. I could not go
but I just peeked teachers teach lessons.
I noticed they kept repeating the word from english to bahasa. I tried to hear
it very clearly, and then repeat it and try to remember it. While on the way to
the house I heard a song that comes from a cafe not far from my home. I stopped
in front of the cafe and listen to the song and try to capture in words english.
then the school and the cafe has become a place I visit every day mandatory.
Now I began
to express some things in English, and the day I became the spirit of learning.
Lately I also forget to eat, I just bought food for my mother. I'm very spirit
of saving money after seeing the English textbooks that are sold by an old lady
at a flea market at low prices. I keep saving up to buy it and now I've got it.
But my stomach was so sore I had a few days without food and only drinking
water. On the way home I found a money bag fell worth 50,000 from a man who was
well-dressed. He had walked away. I plan on buying food than money, but then I
remember my mother said to continue to be a good boy and it would be nice if I
get back this money to its owner. My body was limp I searched earlier figure of
a man, a well-dressed man and a little chubby he was white complexioned. I
hobbled until I caught a glimpse of the man I was looking for. I saw it at the
end of the intersection who want to stop the taxi. I began to quicken my
footsteps a little run and I got him. With the halting breath I give him his
money and embarrassment my stomach started cheering when I get in front of him,
making him laugh a little and eventually invited me to sit in a cafe. I'm very
grateful, be saved by her stomach. After a little talk he finally went home and
so did me, on the way home I thought there was something like that I forget, I
paused to make sure my body was intact and nothing was missing And the thought
struck me, the thing in my hand disappeared somewhere. I turned the fast pace,
the new English book I bought with the money from the savings seem to lag at
the cafe. I was too panicked until I fell and now my knees bled. my clothes was dirty, I do not care about the
pain I kept running without ignoring the pain until I got to the place I want
to go.
I ran into
the cafe and went to my seat earlier. the book, book no longer exists. I
stopped and began to turn my head to look for the book. However, an employee
sand me out.he pulled me out with a polite tone, but a bit harsh, I asked the
book to him but he shook his head. I sat in front of the cafe , without me
knowing all the pairs of eyes on me with her mouth slightly moving talking
about. I do not care I'm going to wait until the cafe is closed and will be
looking to book me in there. However, shortly after another employee came over
and gave me a book that I find I am looking very happy but I am confused he gave
me so many English books and show sincere smile, thank you. The word does not
stop I kept saying.
The sun was
setting I had not come home this day. And there are other things that I forget.
January 15th, today was my birthday. I walked cheerfully towards the house. My
legs never stopped running constantly dancing with a slight pain in my leg does
not feel the slightest. When I got home I was surprised because I did not have
the figure of my mother who always exudes smile when I get home. I looked around
the house, but I did not find it I began to worry. And finally I found the
figure of a woman across the street using a white scarf. Mother! I tried to him but he told me to stay
and wait here. I followed what he said .
But I can not I want to pick her up . My legs started to move and the mother
told me not to move. I was speechless and my mind kept asking "why?"
I do not listen to him and kept walking. Seeing that i was not listening to him
started getting angry , and he immediately came over to me. Roads were deserted
at the time, and when my mother was in the middle of the road started my
surprise I saw her hit by a private car that looks luxurious. It happened so
fast I did not look like anything. And from where the car came from?. I went to
my mother who was covered in blood now. He embraced something and it was a
english book, he opened his eyes with a little force and began whispering
regardless of his pain "Ichsan .. you must be a good boy and strong and keep learning "can not say too
much I can not bear to see the pain and feel so, when on the way to the
hospital, my mother die. Now I'm an orphan, I live alone, I do not know anymore
what is the meaning of my life and what for I live the only reason I live for
is gone, and I was desperate, I could not think straight I kept remembering'd
message from my mother, my tears could not stopped flowing my heart wes still
broken. I saw a pile of junk that I have collected and I hung around the walls
of the house are rubbish english , I saw a collection of books that I have got
and one of the books covered in blood. I looked at their flat. I think to throw
them all but i crossed the last message
my mother, I had to learn .. learn English and eventually I remembered my
promise to a stranger who saved my life. I also have to tell my mother and she
kept telling me to be grateful and continue to support me to learn English
until finally, now I know my reason for living. Now there were only one reson life
that to keep my promise.
My days are
spent studying, I did not pass anything other than learning. I do not eat I'm
just a little sleep and much more I spend on learning. Until finally I was lying
weak on the old mattress. suddenly a man get into my house I can not do
anything about my body so weak until I lost consciousness. When I realized I
had been in the hospital and a man approached me. I'm more curious about her
before I started to ask, him first to say something, something that I hope I
heard wrong, he apologized because he
had hit my mother to death. My heart would fall out at that time, my tears fall
I clenched my hands strong, I do not know what I should do with this man who
has been married. I am sorry to see him cry at his wife accompanied also by
participating apologize. My heart is sore I could not say anything. Not a word
out of my mouth. My body vibrates 2x strong heart beats faster. And the last
word from him, he wanted to make me his adopted son, as a token of apology, she
wants to take care of me that now only alone, first I would refuse, my heart
continues to crumble at the sight, but he continues to show a sincere affection
to me, I tried to avoid not hear him and kept trying not see it, but he and his
wife continued to love me. Until finally I remembered the message from the mother
to be a good boy, good boy certainly should not hold grudges.
I'm still in
the hospital. I tried to smooth my English to practice speaking English with
the doctors who took care of me. Every day I continue to bother to speak to me,
at first I was hesitant, but once I tried to speak a few words he responded
well and I understood what she was saying until we sank to our conversation.
It's time I
left the hospital. I was very close to the people here that I was reluctant to
leave. My status now is pak ridwan foster child, he invited me to stay with
them but I declined, I still want to stay in my hut houses a small .i back home
a lot of things changed, my home is so quiet and messy. I cleaned up the
scattered books and found a scrap of paper, the paper over and then I
remembered the "English debate competition". I began to believe in
myself with my English doctor in the hospital a lot to teach me a lot. Now I just need's money for the competition registration will
begin next week and the last line registration is tomorrow, I immediately went
to work citing litter from morning till evening, but the money that I get is
not enough I walked into the house I saw a strange thing in the house I,
apparently pack mercy and his wife visited my house and bring some food. in the
hands of Mr. ridwan I saw the paper I put on the wall he had read it, I was
told to sit down and eat food that has been brought. after eating a pack of
mercy offered that he wanted to help me, I can not be rejected, and I have
issued a thousand reasons, but it is a sincere heart can not be said no, sir
ridwan add that my money is not enough for the registration fees she also took
me to a friend of hers to teach how to argue. I still refused to stay in her
home, but she was not the least bit angry, he's a very good man.
Tomorrow is
the day of the match at the start today I just repeat a little of what I have
learned and use the rest of my time to rest for the last 2 days I did not sleep
because of continued learning. And I do not think that I could win the race and
I get a very strong opponent in the race, I'm off to America tomorrow. Pak
ridwan and his wife drove me to the airport and we will meet again when I was 6
months off and then I will go back to America. Mr. ridwan advise me many things
about how the country was united. I tried to remember what he say.
I have 5
months in America, now I have to know those areas very well here, I have made
many friends and I hung out with ease here. And now it is my time to look for
someone who has saved my life at that time. I scour the streets with the
person's name card. Until finally I stood at the door of the salip. I rang the bell, a middle-aged woman
opened the door and asked who I was, I tried to explain at length while showing
a business card and a handkerchief that belongs to a foreign man. She seemed to
believe, but I can read the sadness of his face.
He told me
to wait for him to call her grandson and the three of us went to a place where
she did not let me know, he was silent and her face was very sad. Until finally
we arrived at the cemetery, when he got here I realized, I realized that the
stranger who seved me now gone, he was involved in an accident. I can not say
anything, I feel very sad and began
tears, I put handkerchief over the headstone, and I began to whisper
"thank you" I tried to say the words, but my lips trembled and I was
not able to say much . I've kept my promise even if he could not hear her.
I've got to
boarding school, I called my adoptive father Mr. Ridwan because next week I
will return to Indonesia for a holiday, I talked at length with him on the
phone and also asked about the state of my house. I plan to create an orphanage
in the land, because the vacant lot next to it and I plan to buy it. Mr. ridwan
very happy to hear my plan. And this is the first time he called my name, after
he had only ever before you call me. Ican said the English spelling and little
jokes. And the name sounds “ican”-à “i can “which means “I can”. I
remember my dad and mom, and maybe this
is why my mom and dad gave me the name ihcan. So I can go through all the
obstacles in my life though to myself.
That’s
story of my life until I finally managed to stand in front of you to young
teachers.
Up here we
encounter and do not forget to make a summary of my story and make a positive
and negative values of my story. Good afternoon. Said mr.ihcan end the class.
* Do not
despair. God gives us trials we go through in order for us to be someone more
good . countinue trying and do not give up. *
