Challenges

i have no idea what should i write right now. i had some ideas about this post, but it just poof-ed away. well i guess i should just write about some challenges i've faced lately which have quite taught me on doing the living.

this is one of the challenges which i recently faced. around 3 weeks ago, i accidentally broke my friend's glasses. i didn't know anything about her before i broke her glasses. i felt guilty so that i took her glasses and tried to fix it. then i and my mom tried to look for the same frame. we found it although it was a bit bigger, at least it still looked the same with the one i broke. it took a quite long time for us to find the very same one, but we couldn't. so that i told my friend about that and she was okay with it.

yesterday, her mom called me. she confessed that her daughter couldn't see with her new glasses. she felt dizzy, she said. i told her that i found a new frame for the glasses and the lenses were still on the making. i said that they were gonna be ready in 5 days. all she wanted was to have the glasses back in a short time - she said that it was okay if i only gave her the frame, without any lens. i panicked. i felt totally guilty at that time then i told her mom that i would try to complete her demand.

i immediately called my mom after the call. my mom said that she had already paid for the lenses so that it would be bad if i just canceled the lenses. then i told my friend about it and she said that she was fine for waiting for 5 days for her new glasses.

i wanna share my second challenge i recently faced. it's kinda a failure. i registered to be gadis sampul 2013 and i had completed all the conditions to register like photos, completing the form, and listing my achievements. i was quite optimist to be selected as one of the finalists.

i waited and waited. and my mom bought me the magazine which included a page of the selected finalists. there was no me. my dad said that it was about luck. there were a lot of applicants so that my form might be forgotten to be checked out.

why the hell did i share these stories? am i complaining? i only realized some great advantages i got from facing all of them.

the first case has taught me on being calm in explaining something. i may have to face some people's negative feelings when i become a doctor. it taught to be calm in explaining the truth, maintaining their emotions, and also improving my mentality towards older customers.

for the second, this is a special case god has given me. this made me realize the importance of praying. i forgot to pray. and i also think that this is the best for me. i imagined if i was accepted, i wouldn't be able to focus on studying to become a doctor which is my main dream. maybe i will be very busy on my gadis sampul training if i'm accepted rather than practicing or discussing on how to be a good doctor. god also has given me the most precious thing i've ever got so far: i'm accepted as a my-dream-university-faculty student.

i believe, those aren't sorrows. they are learnings.
