Agent of Change

Hail!

I am at college.

I don't go at fancy school. 

But, this is my home.

My place, to go through the upcoming days.

Before, I tell you based on the title. I want you to know this.

I have a friend. He is a guy, some people just called him "weird person". I felt the same way before. He's such a wrong guy. He likes to go somewhere alone, he likes to talk by himself, he does not like join with others, he used to come into the class in sudden, when we were studying.

Some said, he just accepted in top university, but, he refused. Others said, he just got accident and made him weird. I don't fucking now.

It happened in months. But, I changed my mind, then. He is not. 

He is definitely normal. He just has a unique thinking, beyond others. 

I was, I used to humiliate my school with my other friend. I used to be ashamed. I'm not proud of my school. Before.

Before, he asked me a question. 

"Why are you doing that? Why do you humiliate your school? All schools are same. This is your home, our home."

Can you believe it?

He called this place is his home. I really shocked with that word from his mouth.

I felt guilty. I shouldn't do that.

I respect him, a lot.

He teaches me. I learn.

This is my home.

Actually, when the accreditation at my studies jumped into B. I was full of anger, I hate it. 

But, there is nothing I could do for that.

Even, my dean doesn't know why it could be down.

I tried to discuss with my dean. How to make it better.

First, I want to create alumni association. I went to Himpunan Mahasiswa Sipil. They were good. They have the association. It goes great. The students there like to join the national competition.

It is really different with mine. We don't like to join competition. We don't share winning, we don't struggle to make us be better. So pathetic.

Second, I gave him a choice. I told him to change the system at the orientation of freshman. We have to build the character, we shall love our new school. We are not waste from fancy school.

That value, should be added to freshman.

It will create love. Love to new home. Love, that empower the spirit, of renew education, and achievement. I think.

  

Sadly, my dean didn't solve the problem well. He doesn't know what to do. 

"It is really hard," he said.

Others just blamed me. They judged us.

I don't feel anything. I'm still not giving up.

I like my new place.

I like my home.

I really want to stay here.

I want to make my home be better.

I want to add value on it.
