OF ADULTHOOD

This is my really first English posting in this blog. I don't know why, but I'm thinking of using English after a very long time not using it. Maybe the words I write are wrong, maybe the sentences are incorrect, but I'll try my best. Not to satisfy my readers, but to polish and improve my writing skill. Hopefully. 

The time had moved really fast. It's July already. I do really love July. Too much memories, sad stories, achievements and important events happened in July. Yesterday was marked as my first anniversary being an adult who had a job to live and start a life. I don't think my career path is too challenging to be compared with others. However, I still have my own story, need to face challenges and go through it with determination. Within the past twelve months, I experienced a few interview sessions which were still countable and not a scary one. I was offered for my first ever job after graduation as a general clerk in the account department. After three months, I passed the probation period excellently and got promoted to a better position. I was really grateful for the achievement. Being on a top while I'm still young is a lucky. I was planning to work there for a year or two just to get working experience. Unfortunately, I only served the company for nine months. Allah plan is better. I got a new job offer which is my recent job. Alhamdulillah. I do believe in my rezeki and my fate. 

Along this period of time, I can see a lot of my friends are struggling developing their life, seeking for a job, dealing with burden and problems, and accepting the fact that reality is hard and difficult. Somehow, I feel blessed because I'm surrounded by great and kind friends. Some of them are now being a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer, an officer, an architect, an entrepreneur, a photographer, an online seller, a wife, a husband, a responsible brother, a caring son, a polite daughter and even an active job seeker. I'm sure and hoping that they're all happy. Despite all the happiness shown, there must be bitterness that are hidden and kept in their heart. Just like me, and you. 

After one year, I'm still climbing the hill and cross the river. Just like ordinary person who jump into adulthood by following the flow of life. I can't afford to buy a house or even a car. I don't even plan to get married as early as now. I can't show my business legacy, I don't own any property, and I am nobody. Yet. What I can ensure now is, at least I've the ability to help Abah and Umi, to let them stay at home, to buy the household items, to pay the bills and to let Abah and Umi stay happy forever. Insya-Allah one day, I'll make them happier. 

Just to recap one of the most popular question during interview session, here it is. Who you are in the next five years from now?
