Dream

When i was a little, i wanted to be a pianist. because i liked how it sound but then i grew up and realized that i didn't like to play piano, i like to listened to it. 


for awhile i didn't have any particular thing i wanted to do. i got sick and my mom brought me to a doctor. the doctor wore white uniform i thought it was so cool. he checked my body with a cold thing call stethoscope. after he gave my mom  a prescription he gave me a lollipop. maybe it was because the lollipop or maybe the cool uniform, i started want to become a doctor. it's a cool job, it's make you look good and you could heal people. doctor is a pretty good job. when i was in middle school i told  my friend that i wanted to be a doctor and she told me that we had to spent all night long with a dead body in order to be a doctor. i just couldn't imagine it, it was way too scary. i gave up to be a doctor.


i kept changing my dream until i went to high school until i couldn't help but amazed with skyscrapers in the city. it was amazing, how skyscrapers were so high that its looked like it touch the sky and it was more amazing how a person can had thing that big, how one person can had a skyscraper. my amazement was the beginning of my introduction with economy. with a knowledge of economy somebody could has a skyscraper, with a knowledge of economy this country could run. because economy now i am here as a student of gunadarma university, majoring in accounting.

Me and Motorcycle

Hi miss Dwi Nitisari ,

    My name is Intan, I am the second child of three child. I have 2 brothers and I am the only daughter in the family. I may be a daughter, a woman, but my mom said I am the most fearless. I will do things my two brothers don’t dare to do. Such as ride a mini motorcycle when I was still on elementary school . it might be mini but it was still a motorcycle with a real engine, a real thing. My older brother who was on his third year in upper secondary school taught me. He wasn’t really good, he just learned it few days earlier than me.

    At first he told me where is the gear, the brake and other things and then I rode it. I rode it really slow just like what he told me after awhile I found my balance and I start to rode a little bit faster, it’s fun. I really like how the wind felt on my skin. I wasn’t good when I turn left/right it still hard for me, sometimes I will stop and turn using my feet (haha). My body was small and the motorcycle was heavy. But  I always practiced everyday after school, in one week I was good, I could now turn without using my feet.

    Now  that I 20 motorcycle is my major transportation (not the mini one), I go to campus everyday by my motorcycle. I like how small it is so I get no problem during traffic jam.
