The Struggle is Never Useless



            My experience in mathematics has been started since first grade elementary school. At the time I have mathematics teacher who very loudly and like shout. One day I can’t solve one question that he gave. So that, he has angry and shout out loud until my friends who has been writing shocked and tremble. It made my friends traumatized when he is writing his hand was tremble until now. It also made me afraid when learn math and I dislike math. It is made me study hard and do the exercise so as not yelled again from my math teacher. As never imaged before, when distribute the report, I got nine for my math score. I was happy when my teacher proud of me and he gave me smile. That was really surprised for me and from that time I believed the struggles never useless.
            When I accepted in junior high school, my school had a placement test to determine the class for each student. I could not join it because I got sick. So that, I had joined the test after that but I forgot to fill my identity in test sheet. So the result I got VII C Class, because even considered not takes the test. I was really sad and broken heart because I should be part with my elementary school friends, because all of them got VII A class. It is like a dream because I never imaged before so I was really upset. From that time too, I study hard to prove if I deserve in VII A class especially math lesson. I felt at the time math is the lesson that really complicated for all of students. It made me always struggle make my teacher math confused because I was able to answer the math problem that he show when he taught in Class C apparently all of my friends don’t understand about that. I should be helped my friends to understand the material. Sometimes some of my friends went to my home to do math homework. I didn’t know much more they did, I just able showed what the problem and they should solved that the problems. At the time I begin to like mathematics, because of math I can show who I am. I can show to my teacher if I can found higher score than students from Class A.
            Nice story in senior high school. I didn’t have problem in mathematics lesson, but I have problems in Physic lesson. I asked for help to the Physic Club in my school.  After three month has learned Physic there, my tutors suggest me to join in this Club as a member and learn more about Physic to prepare the competition. It was impossible. But because of the support from my physic teacher I can joined in competition, apparently not be came a winner but I have learned more than about Physic there. Another story, at the time also I have a friends who really love in math. Every day he always gave me one or more question about mathematics problems. That made me curious about it, but increasingly more exciting and I was enjoyed at the time. Sometime I asked him my problem about math and it was really help me.
            Passed from senior high school I can’t took university because my family problem and I got work become a cashier. Every day I have counted money in and out of my office. Actually my company was providing services and saving money in Denpasar. I think it was not really difficult to me and enjoyed in my work. My boss really liked of my work because I am very expert to counting money. After six month I works, my friends who was my tutor in physic club called me and suggest me to enroll in Sampoerna School of Education (SSE) if I want to continued my study. After I tried to enroll I confused to choose the major of study. My uncle really hopes I could learn about English there, but I don’t like English and I like math. After discuss with my family especially my uncle who always gave me support if I have problems. Finally I chosen Math Education major.
            After enter in the SSE first semester I don’t really learn about math but I have many English courses to improve my English I think. It was making my IP was small.  But in the second semester I got many math courses so that I become more spirit and study hard to increase my IP. It was my story about mathematics. Mathematics in my life was my hero and always follows me to find my identity. I am not looking for math but math looking for me.
