My name is Ratria Budiendra, I am 16 years old this year. i was born on the 10th of February 1991. I go to Sekolah Pelita Harapan School, where I study the national option program. I chose IPA for the national program. Even though the school provides the diploma program, I refuse the diploma because my goal is to go to universities in Indonesia. The diploma program only gives opportunity for students to continue their studies overseas. I am now in 11th grade, and I am still thinking for what major I want to choose in the future. The school goal for grade 11th and 12th is to concentrate on the national exam at the end of grade 12th. I personally think I am now doing well in my school. Even though I don’t get very high grades for each subject, I think my grades are satisfactory and well acceptable. My goal is to pass the national exam with an acceptable grade. My ways to achieve that goal is to concentrate in school and not underestimate the national program.
I have interest in many kinds of subjects. I am curious and want to know how the world works and why. I personally have hobby and interest in designs, specifically graphic design. I like to fill my spare time by editing photos using Adobe Photoshop. Many of my friends talked to me and often compliments my art works. My family thinks that I am talented in subjects related to calculations, logical, and critical thinking. I personally have set 3-4 majors that I am now interested to study. The majors are graphic design, mechanical, studies of industries, and accounting.
My physical characteristic is not so short and not so tall either. I've lost 5 kg in this past 2 month because of the fasting month yiha! but i love my body the way it is. i like to spent my time exercising, such as treadmill, weight lifting and others. i like to spent my time mostly talking with the people that i love, my friends and my family. i am a very friendly even to strangers, i even like to say hi to people i don't know, don't know why. i also like to spent my time praying and communicating to God. some people says that i am religious. i like to spent my time and think about God because it comforts me. i am the last child, i have two sisters. my family's environment is warmth and everyday we like to spent our time together talking about God at dinner time.
I personally think my strength is when I deal with problem. I’ve grown a lot in the past 2 years. When I met a problem, I usually get emotional and confused. Sometimes I could get angry or overly sad if I can’t solve the problem. But now I’ve improve my attitude and become more patient in dealing with problems. Before I make any conclusion, I now analyze my problem to the core until I find a solution to it. I realize that I can’t solve every problem I have. When I am unable to find solution, I would give my worries and troubles to God. This is another strength I have because I don’t get depress because of my problems, instead I am more positive because I learn from my mistake. i like to talk about God even to my friends, maybe this is my strength because the more i relate my problems to God the more i become patient in dealing with problems.
My weakness is to easily trust other people. Even though it seems that it is fine to trust many people, it is sometimes a disadvantage for me because people would take advantage. Sometimes when I trust people too easily, I become hurt at the end and could hold a grudge, but I am now working on it. Now I still easily trust others but I don’t hold grudge and instead I just forgive if I’ve been hurt by them.
“There’s a reason why the past doesn’t make it to my future,” I saw this quote somewhere on a book that I don’t remember. I chose this quote because I learn that I can’t be stuck in the past and I do have to move on and make a new path of my life.
