Achievement
In a deIinition I Iound in theIreedictionary.com, achievement means 'Something accomplished
successIully, especially by means oI exertion, skill, practice, or perseverance. Yet in my liIe,
I`m not always accomplish something successIully, sometimes I Iailed to accomplished
something, even sometimes it become a total Iailure, but I learn Irom my Iailure, take a meaning
Irom it, and use it to counter the same Iailure in the Iuture. To me personally, achievement means
overcoming my mistakes.
My Iirst experience about achievement occurred when I was in the Iirst grade oI senior high
school. My grade in the very Iirst semester was really bad. At Iirst, I didn`t know why it
happened, but then I realize that I lack oI practice, I didn`t want to get a same bad score, and I
didn`t want to Iailed my parents, so I practice more and more to avoid the same bad result. Then,
my next semester in high school came out good. My grade increased signiIicantly, many oI my
Iriends told me that I Iought like a 'hungry beast that semester. Moreover, I could maintain the
same result and even increase my grade more during the next year oI my high school.
Then I Iound myselI in almost same situations when I`m about to enter college. Many Iriends in
my class and generally in my school worried that they can`t pass the entrance test to college
named SNMPTN, so do I. But then, I put a Iaith in myselI, I always said to myselI 'you can do
it, it would come out good in the end. But then I made even worse mistakes when I submit my
college choice during the registration. I didn`t realize that I put an almost same grade major in
my registration Iorm. In my Iirst day oI test I didn`t realize this, at least not yet. But then on the
second day, somehow I realize that I wouldn`t make it to the Iirst choice, but since the Iirst and
second have almost same grade, so that`s it, none oI the major accept me since my score didn`t
reach the qualiIication Ior the Iirst major choice and the quota Ior the second major is already
IulIilled . I knew I had made terrible mistakes this time, but now it`s not about lack oI practice
anymore, it`s about interest. I can`t decide which major I interest most, so I learn about things I
really interest. That`s what I did when I put my Iaculty/major choice in SIMAK registration
Iorm. That time I kept saying 'put what you interest most; don`t put things that only pull your
interest. And so that`s how I make my way here.
So that example should qualiIy what I really mean about achievement. People can always doing
some mistakes. We cannot Iorget it sometimes, and sometimes it really painIul to remember. In
Iact, I always Ieel cautious when making decision, I knew it may go wrong, but I knew I will not
Iall into an abyss just because one mistakes, in the end everything will be alright, iI not then it`s
not the end.
