Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, hi gentlemen! I am najwi suryanda from nine

alkhawarizmi. To be honest, I’m a bit nervous right now, but I’m not standing here to tell about my
feeling, instead i would like to tell you a story about Kusnoso Sosrodiharjo.

Do you know who he is? Well i gave you a clue. He is the founding father of our nation, and his famous
quote, “Jas Merah, never ever forget history”. I bet all of you have already known who i'm talking about.
Yes, he is Soekarno.

His childhood was so close to us. He had to move from one place to another place following his father
who was a teacher, and his father was always ordered him to memorize everything. So no wonder if he
became the smart boy. Wait, what about his mother. As a descendant of Balinese nobel women, his
mother was always told their ancestors struggle. Since that the patriotism was take to his heart.

Soekarno, as a young man was intens with the organizations. Jong Java, Putra, PNI, and so on, he became
the one of the most critical person whom the dutch anticipated. “I hate imperialism i repressed
colonialism” (nada dinaikin, itu ngutip). Said Bungkarno in one of his stage. He was so determined to
make this nation free from the colonialism, and the dutch (berenti sebentar). He was never afraid giving
his opinion against dutch.

You know dutch? they exiled him to the several places to digul in papua, Ende in Nusa Tenggara, and
Bengkulu South Sumatera. What about Soekarno? He witnessed the society's condition he witnessed
their pain he believed and he always believed that one day indonesia would be free from the colonizer
(naik semua tuh nadanya, abistu turun).

In his exile he wrote and thought everything about this nation. And not only that, when he was in
Bengkulu, he met with a beautiful daughter of one’s leader in Bengkulu. What is her name? her name is
Fatmawati
