My house is neither luxurious nor beautiful. It's just a simple rundown house. But my mother always taught me to be grateful to accept the destiny given by God. My name is Princess Jelita. Call me Princess.
"We do not need to live rich, son," my mother said one day. That's what touched my heart. Even though my father is gone, it is not the end.
Early in the morning I immediately get old to bathe. My mother can not afford the water bill, I just obey and keep thankful. Because simplicity is beautiful.
"Huh .. very cold. But I have to take a shower and go to school "I say when I reach the well.
After taking a bath I immediately went home and put on my school uniform. And breakfast with fried tempe and rice.
I arrived at my school. The simple building and the wall that began to rot is my school. I should be grateful because this is also a free school from the government.

The hot day .. the trees have been heavily logged to make it very hot.
"Ouch .. I'm thirsty. Have to buy a drink but no money, "I mumble.
I immediately approached my friends for money to lend me.
"Cell .. I borrow your money a thousand rupiahs yes!" I said.
"Pinjem? what are you paying for? "he scoffed.
I just looked down and started asking for help to another friend. Again "Do not you pay what?" Is the answer I always get if I want to borrow something.
"Let's take Put .. I really dikacangin" said my friend Sonya while handing me a glass of tea.
"I'm sorry. I can not afford it."
"Who says to pay?" Sonya asked.
I smiled and accepted his gift.
"Thank you" I told Sonya.
One day we were given a group assignment. I'm a group with Sonya.
"Em .. we do in my house yes !!" Sonya said.
I just nodded.
After school I and Sonya came home together. We will do the task early because very much.
Arrived at Sonya's house ..
"Wow .. your house really big. You really want to go to school in a simple place. Usually people like you will choose a luxury school "I told Sonya.
"Simplicity is beautiful .. my father kept urging me to go to an elite school. But I keep refusing, because I know simplicity is beautiful, "he replied.
True what my mother said, rich life is not necessary. The important thing is we can be happy.
