My Autobiography (Writing Class)

"dayoe pushpa"

My Lovely Autobiography which I made when I am in the second semester of English Education Department

           On 31st of March 1994 a little girl who is named Ida Ayu Putu Puspawati was born to the earth. I was born in a little happy family as the first child of my parents, Mr. Ida Bagus Ketut Adnyana and Mrs. Ida Ayu Made Ayuni. I’m not the only child of my parents, I have two siblings. I have one younger sister who was born one year after me and one younger brother as the last child of my parents. I spent my childhood in a small village called Baha Village which is a part of Mengwi District, Badung Regency.

            I live in Griya environment where the Brahmin caste lives. That means I am demanded to use Alus Singgih well since I was a child. The other reasons why I should be good at this, because one of my uncles is a Pedanda (Brahmin Hindu holy person) at my house. When I behave and speak with him, I have to use the appropriate and the most polite language. I have been habituated using Alus Singgih to communicate with many people in my daily activities at home, even if they aren’t part of Brahmin caste. I did not only learn Alus Singgih at home but also at school.

            I began my school period when I was six years old. My father chose the nearest elementary school for me, SD 1 Baha. In that period, I had an unforgettable experience. At that time, my elementary school was side by side with my kindergarten. There was a teeter at my school yard. In the break time my friends and I were playing it together. I sat in the middle of it, at the very front of all friends on the right side. We were playing happily. Suddenly the joyful day changed into a sad day. An accident was happened to me. My left thigh got injured. My thigh was torn, squeezed by the teeter. It was bleeding. I was worried so much but I decided not to tell my teacher for what had happened to me. I didn’t know what I should do. I was afraid to tell it to anyone, even my mother. I decided to sleep, after I was home. I thought my sore would be better when I woke up. But unfortunately, it wasn’t. My mother was shocked when she saw my white short changing into red on the thigh part. It was because of my wound.  Eventually, my mother accompanied me to the nearest clinic. The midwife sutured my torn thigh till it sealed. My feeling was better than before. I was not worried anymore.

            Six years in elementary school made me want to continue my study to the higher level. SMP N 1 Mengwi was my choice. During three years there, I had so many nifty memories. The most that I remembered is when I was chosen as one of the member of the Math Olympiad team at my school. That was my dream when I was in the first grade of junior high school. It came true when I was in the second grade. I could gather with the greatest students in mathematics. It was a pride for me. Certainly, I got this chance because of my hard effort in the first and the second semester. My biology teacher who named Mrs. Agung Chandra also gave me an opportunity to join Biology Olympiad team. It was a good chance for me to improve my math and biology skill by joining both of them. I had learnt many thing from that community. I have learnt time management, togetherness, autonomy and of course the quickest and exact strategy on answering many kinds of questions related to math and biology itself.

            In 2009, I graduated from my junior high school and decided to continue my study at one of the favorite school in Badung Regency, SMA N 1 Mengwi. In my senior high period, I fell in love with a guy who just didn’t feel the same as what I did. Actually I loved him so much, but unfortunately my love was unrequited. It was the first time for me to feel broken hearted without any relationship with any guy. Fortunately I could move on when I knew he just already had a girl friend. For the first time, I was shocked knowing it but I realized I couldn’t reach his deepest heart. That’s why I tried to acquiesce him for that girl. I ever heard that love does not have to have each other. It is love when all I want is that guy’s happiness, even if I am not part of his happiness. I closed my senior high schools’ bitter memories  by a great expectation in the future. I told my self that I would find my own true love no matter what would happen and I did believe if it would become true someday.

            Senior high school’s graduation party was a sign of my beginning step to enter a university. I chose Ganesha University of Education as my beloved alma mater. After over one week joining OKK (orientation college life), I was officially accepted as a part of the English Education Department. I was happy my desire to be an English teacher in the future was blessed by The Almighty. In my university period I have met so many people around Bali province and out of Bali too which I have never imagined before. I  was doubt if could socialize with them. But my thought was wrong. I could do it even though needed quite long adaptation. I am becoming more familiar with my classmate since I was be a victim of joke material by three guys at my class who name themselves as three angles. Sometimes to be their victim is annoying but more often it is fun and makes me laugh out loud. Their funny joking not only entertains the other friends but also me. I mean not always but sometimes. I don’t regret to be their victim in this semester but it would be different for the following semester probably. I hope this situation could make our friendship tighter rather than vise versa.

            For my future life, I hope God always gives me health and longevity. I do believe both of them will bring a beautiful way for me to get my success. I want to be a professional and good English teacher for my students in the future. I also hope that I can build my own little family with full of love with my future husband and build an English professional course at my little happy house.
