CHAPTER II

Economic Difficulties Are Not a Barrier To Achieving Goals

The story in this book began in 2010 at that time Dian had just graduated from MAN 3 Jakarta and had a dream to study at the University of Indonesia majoring in Medicine. But Dian's wish was crushed due to poverty. So, her family had little choice but to send Dian to a midwifery school. Dian also continued to the advanced Indonesian health science college which is a prestigious private university in the first D4 midwifery in Indonesia. However, Dian faced financial difficulties because at that time her parents' business was not going well and her father wanted to retire in the Indonesian National Army. Even his family had to borrow a scholarship fund of 200 million.

This fund must be repaid after Dian graduated from college and worked. Dian Damayanti had to go through her early life at the midwifery campus with full of struggles. Not only once did he have to desperately survive on very simple food. His mediocre financial condition made him have to survive in various ways. Every morning he has instant noodles for breakfast, then at noon he eats plain bread without jam. The most delicious food at that time was rice warteg in the form of tofu rice, vegetables and broth. While at night he usually does not eat. That was Dian's diet during her early days at the Midwifery School. However, the economic difficulties made Dian grow up as a strong woman. Dian believes that in fact every human being has extraordinary endurance, which will emerge when life's difficulties confront him.

At that time, papa was only in class 2c. At that time, my father's rank was sergeant major. I started school in midwifery. With my parents income at that time was very small to pay for my semester of college and take part in competitions that made money to increase my parents' income to pay for semesters and pay for transportation and internship fees. At that time I went to school where I was required to live on campus if all midwifery students had to live on campus. I study in the South Jakarta area close to Depok. Every time I go to and home from college, I take the bus or the economy train to save money because my parents provided me with only twenty thousand a day in 2010 for my pocket money. Even to ride a vehicle, I tried to share my hobby of singing with my best friend at that time who had the same fate. With me far away college with pocket money a little busking in a crowded bus.

Every morning and every evening after school. We are not ashamed to do that, it's okay if we get on the bus to take us to college, we can also channel our hobbies of singing and playing music. The bus was always full of people working and even we were close to the driver and conductor. We used to take the AC bus 84 Rawamangun Depok Department and also 134 AC Monday Depok. The problem is that my parents and some of my friends have entrusted us with even the initials of my friend P, he is a student at a state university in the Depok area and A is also the same as us going to college with Dian, a woman among the three. We went to college one way but we went to college at the expense of our parents to meet our needs, which we often sing on the bus we ride, we are not ashamed because the tuition fees for our majors are quite expensive, can be hundreds of millions, the results of busking on the bus entertained passengers with an impromptu concert on the ac bus, I was able to pay for food and the need to buy midwifery equipment and could buy obstetrics books which at that time were very expensive. Without burdening parents. The money collected can be used to pay for my internship in midwifery and a joint venture to buy medicines for free medical activities.
