GRATEFUL
FOR CARRYING EDUCATION
Becoming a grateful person is the
part which I mostly concern about. I am Didimus Estanto Turuk, one of a
thousand people who love to share with others. I was educated in the Seminary
Junior High School and Senior High School. There was an important part of my
life which all my sense of carrying others was built. The catholic system made
myself realize that the most valuable
thing in this life is being valuable for others. From that moment on, I keep
struggling myself to help people as best as I can. Like I said before, being
grateful is the core of my life, and carrying people is the reality of being
grateful.
Parents is the creature that I
love the most. A chance to live is a very big deal that they cooperate with God
for making me alive. I really thank for the grace of this breath. They are such
a simple and strict parent which I give all my respect. I honor them very much.
My father is a private employee in a private company. He came from a poor
family in an isolated area in East Nusa Tenggara. He is a D1 graduate in civil
engineering by his own struggle. He love to farm, especially coffee, because
coffee is the best commodity in my district. Then, my mom is a humble and
passionate old woman. She came from such a middle class family. Her father is a
simple civil servant and her mother is a housekeeper. My mother graduated from
nurse school when the age of 19 and then work on that passion until now. She is
not so emotional person but quite clever to arguing something, give me some
best advice to step forward. I am so glad for having them as my incredible
parent.
Education is a media to reveal
the social class, the tool to upgrade the pride in the eye of society. I
believe that education is more than just that thing. Education is a media for
making human become humanist. I am sure that education is not just about learn
something, but there is a lot of its friend that we need to explore, unless I
try to fulfil that thing. I came from a common family which come with that idea
of ‘belajar’. My fist school is a kindergarten in St. Maria Fatima Kindergarten,
then St. Maria Ruteng III elementary school, after that I join seminary. The
next level of senior and high school I spent in Seminary Pius XII Kisol. Right
after high school, I once joined the first step to study philosophy to become a
priest, but I decided to run out because I had no passion there. Today, I am
here, at Sanata Dharma University, try to continue what my people said about
‘belajar’. Education is not just a tool, it is the ‘belajar’ its self. From all
the school I have passed, I understand that education is home for being
humanism or just say human. There is a theory that we are an animal as a body
structure, but with a little conscience. The part of this conscience is the one
that we/ I want to keep exist. Keep being human, that the most important part
of education, I believe.
Despite the fact that I really
concern about ‘belajar’ and education, I try to keep it alive. I’d love to
bring it in my real live. Therefore, I starting to join some community that
keeping people to learn. I join Lembaga Katolik Mahasiswa (Yogyakarta), Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Katolik Republik
Indonesi (PMKRI), SanPio (a local movement concern about my district based on
our seminary). When I went one-step ahead after my high school, I came to an
idea that ‘belajar’ is about sharing what you know, have and experience. The
concept, idea, argument or whatever the form will not going anywhere if you do
not share it to others, at least let people know. From that idea, I started to
seek some organization or just group which can support that idea. Fortunately,
I sat in the good place for it. In that group and organization I can share what
the idea that people deserve to know, express my concern about others and
criticize what I think was not right. Besides joining those kind of
organization, I do also love to write. I am sure that writing something is a
good way to arrange our brain, passion, and sense of carrying. Mostly my
writing are about romantics, but there are also essays about society,
multiculturalism, education and other critics about what is going on in my
beloved country. Writing is also a tool to share what my brain think about, the
idea and some good concepts.
Carrying others, society and
country is not just a duty, it is a responsibility. It is an idea of human who
humanist. I bring it in my soul or I am trying to be the man like that. That’s
why I am good enough for this scholarship. I am sure that ‘belajar’, that we
all sure that is important will affect much more to the knowledge, capability
and humanity for a person. The best and the appropriate learning process is
also affect the result of the quality of the student and in the same time
affect the way and the material which that student will share. I believe that
educate people is a responsibility for those who educated. I hope by this scholarship,
I can maximize the quality of my ‘belajar’. By accepting this scholarship, I
can give more for those who need it. By the tittle of educated people, I think
that’s my honor to share this treasure of being humanism to others. By the
concerns of educate, sharing and carrying people, I think I deserve for this
scholarship. This scholarship is also I think a media by people who concern
about educating, sharing and carrying other people. This scholarship is also a
tool for making human to be humanist, just like what I have believed along this
journey.
Becoming a grateful person, back
to the first idea that I express in this essay. I am very grateful for being in
this level now. It is an honor to bring my idea of sharing idea, educating
people and carrying others up to this stage. It is not because this scholarship
I become carrying people, but this scholarship is such a fascinating news that there
are people out there still have a same concern with me. There will also a big grateful if I am accepted as one of a
lucky and deserved people for this chance. There is always a dawn after a dark
night, there is always a hope for the better world. Thank you very much for
allowing me up to this level and hopefully this
good relation will keep stay good.
