Failures are Part of Life

Many people have a bad story; one of them is the failure story. Not everybody has a perfect story in his or her life. It is as if god gives us several problems in our step. God want us think how to solve that problem counted about failure, no body have a easy way to reach the great dream so, you have to work hard to get what do you want and remember that if you failed, do not give up because that is just how you begin your story. Sometimes what we planed did not contrast with what we got. It was not our false because it is life. God knows what we need not what we want. It is the story about how I through the failure repeatedly and how I coped that.

One day,when I was a student class X C in senior high school No.3 Kerinci. I saw many people there perhaps there were 32 students. Actually I did not like crowd, It was made me became an uncommunicative girl. For example, when the class breaks my entire friend went to canteen and I just left. When my teacher asked me to talk about me, I just tell a little story because I was too shy if I talk in front of class. Probably that is why I did not have friend and I could not do anything because I was not clever and I was not pretty. Sometimes I thought what happened with my self. Why I became like this? Many question that I gave to myself but I could not answer it. Day by day I still alone no friend no friendship I was so lonely. I did not care what they said to me I just did what I wanted to do. Someday when I sit in front of the class there was a girl came to me she said, “Do you have a problem?” I was so surprised by it. I just said, “No, I don’t”. “Try to find something fun here! This is your life, do not be alone” she said to me. She was right I could not be like this I had to change myself to be something good. I realize that I did not do special thing since I was in senior high school so I decided to join one of extraculiculer in my school and I choose extraculiculer Drama Theater. I know now that life is how you decide something for your achievement and how you choose the best thing for your future, maybe I was too long to think something good to my future but when you realize let’s do it. Do not be someone who leave with your selfish or do not care to around you because it can be stop your chance to be a good progress. Do not afraid if people that hate you will refuse you. You have to more confident because if you are not confident with yourself you always afraid to meet many people around you. Trust yourself that you can do more than this.

Since that girl came to me, I began to join extraculiculer Drama Theater. I wanted to do something better like made my parent proud of me. Actually, I was not sure to join this because I did not have experience to show Drama Theater but I could practice at home before the day selection was coming. I rehearsed in front of mirror to know what should I did to performed for instance I practice how to be angry, funny, shy, smile, disappointed, cry, and laugh because it was important to know when I was in drama theater. I thought that I had enough to prepare my performed and I ready to show what I had practice at home. Now the selection day was coming there were 30 students also joining this extraculiculer. All of them I knew that they were amazing then me about theater but I did not give up because I had prepare to show my skills in theater. I hear the teacher asked me to come to the room. I was so nervous and I had a unique habbit. when I nervous the things that I had to do were first step, I found the little stone. The second step, I put in my pocket sometimes I hold the stone in my hand and I played it until my nervous end. When my nervous end, I ready to listen the instructions from my teacher. He wanted me to act like a little girl who was left by her parent  in addition he want me pretend like a little girl that had deformity of the foot. I was so shock hears that. How could I do that it was so difficult to me but I did not surrender of it. I believe that I could do it. I spent the time show around five minutes after that I came out and waited the result. The entire student waited the result and then the teacher mention who would be part of drama theater. There were 15 student that was receive by the teacher included me. I was so happy I thought that I was not received by him but in fact I was. My next planed was how I won the competition in this year but if I wanted to follow this competition I had to join the selection again because its competition just needed 3 person. This competition was very significant to me because it had to be the first performance that would be change my life in other words to be something useful for many people and would not be an uncommunicative girl again.

The selection day for became a section of the competition would be coming soon. I prepared myself fully till I forgot about the lesson that was given by the teacher in the class for example I forgot to finish my homework, I did not focus when the teacher tough me besides I did not interested with the course. At the time, the selection day started like the selection before many students participated for this competition but it was different because this time the people who participated was very talented then before. At this time I hesitated to join this similarly I got feeling Achilles heel. There was no choice I had to join this. After my performance I had to wait one week for the result. Furthermore the result had been announced. I hurried to see what was the yield and I was so shock because I failed!. I was so disappointed with the result in addition I was cry every night when I remembered it. Besides I had done fully for this competition but I failed. Automatically I could not participate with that competition.

 One year was gone, when I was class XI I had waited for competition this year and I hope I could allowed getting through or out. This time I failed repeatedly! I feel frustrating to do likewise. What was my false? I thought that I good enough to join the competition but I did not satisfy if I was not became a winner. Before next year would be coming. Introspection that had done by me so that next time I will not do the same mistake again.

When I was class XII I join that competition again. This time I would do the best then before moreover I was more confident. The script was given by the teacher and I really understood about the script. In that script I pretended to be a doctor. I wished this time I would make good. God hear what I asked and I was successful to continue the next competition in the next level. The failure did not make I gave up, when I still waited every the chance and I worked hard for this. God know how much our effort. Now I was not an uncommunicative girl again because I had change myself to be something more better in fact I brave and I wanted to do new thing.   All of people in my school knew who I am because I could be a winner in regency and province for Drama Theater.

As you can see, the story about my failure could be copied by me. With the failures I could learn so much and changed myself to be better for example I was be brave when I talked in front of people. Do not be afraid when your plan is not coming true because god have the best plan. Failures are part of life. If you do not fail, you do not learn. If you do not learn, you will never change. You have to know that failures are not the opposite of success, it’s part of success. Success is not final and failure it is not the courage to continue that counts. You do not have to worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you do not even try.
