Here's my entry for the Supernatural Writing Contest (SWC) by @jerrybanfield.
helo, good night all. I am @rajarimba. I live in Aceh, western Indonesia. I am a student at one of the universities in indonesia. well, tonight I want to share a story about my past that happened in 2013 maybe about 7 years ago and I will tell it through a supernatural writing contest (SWC) held by @ jerrybanfield.
in the year 2013 ago, I joined the saka scout nautical in the area of lhokseumawe city, north aceh, indonesia. at that moment I was not feeling brave and I felt weakest among my other friends. although I feel the weakest compared to the others, but I still have the spirit and not despair and I am sure if I try I can. after a few months I joined this saka scout. I get a lot of knowledge about the Boy Scouts. from the beginning I feel weak and do not know anything, now I can know about all of her by joining this scout. after that, tomorrow his coach from our scout announces that tomorrow will be held a selection to follow national scout event held by navy seal of indonesia, the event is called PELANTARA. this event is an interstate event around the archipelago or also called around some islands in Indonesia using the warship of the navy seal of Indonesia journey route jakarta, surabaya, bali, and east lombok. The coach said they chose 10 people, 5 sons and 5 daughters to be participants who participated in the national scout event. when I hear the announcement from the coach, I feel like to follow the selection and I want to go to the show. because for me it was an amazing event. Because it can be around the island of Indonesia using the warship of the navy seal of Indonesia. For me this is a very rare moment, and I am determined to pass on the selection event later. because this is my dream to get around Indonesia.
Then, I came home with a happy heart. I met my mother.
My mother asked me:
Mother: "wow mother's son looks happy and excited today, what's up? Let's tell me ".
raja: "mother, happy and happy raja. Because raja want to follow the national scout event made by navy seal of indonesia, old mother is not, the event is a show around some islands in indonesia using navy seal war ship indonesia, this moment amazing for raja, raja want to win at selection and raja want to go to the show. Mother, raja please ask mothers to pray for raja pass selection and raja can go around the island of Indonesia. this is my dream ".
Mother: "Of course, I will always pray for mother's child, to pass and can achieve his dream".
Raja: "thank you very much bu, i love to have mom. Mother is always kind and dear to me ".
I told all about the show to my mother. I ask prayer to God and also I ask that my mother medoa me to be able to win in selection later. The next day I followed the selection, we tested all the abilities that exist in the Boy Scouts. Before starting the selection, I prayed and begged me to graduate and be able to fulfill my dream. Because for me this event is amazing, because I was born in a simple family and less able. So to get around the islands in Indonesia it requires a lot of cost, my sedangan from a simple family. For sure I can not get around the island, because of the cost factor. So through this national scout event, I want to travel around Indonesia for free at no cost. I really hope that God will grant my prayer.
Selection after selection I follow and my heart does not stop praying, with full of hope and patience I run this selection for three days.
After three days, the selection finally ended. We all felt relieved and also felt tense and panicked, as we waited for the announcement of the results of the selection and who were eligible to pass and attend the national scout event. We can not wait and want to know who is eligible to join the event. After that, we met with the coach and asked when the announcement was made. Coaches say, if the announcement is done in four days, by being told through short messages on the phone and in secret, because they have to negotiate with other coaches and make joint decisions.
For four days waiting for the announcement, I still feel curious and hopeful. I want to graduate and go to be a participant in the national event. After four days, finally the day we waited was arrived. And I received one short message on my cell phone that read "congratulations on your graduation to be a participant in a national scout event held by the navy seal of indonesia". After reading the message I feel very happy and happy, I thank God for having prayed my prayers, then I ran to meet my parents and give this news to them. And my parents are very happy to hear this news, they are very grateful for my graduation to be a participant in the national event.
After a few days after the announcement, we were summoned to the practice site, to practice more skills in the Boy Scouts to prepare for the event. And after practicing for two weeks, we went to jakarta and attended the national event. We sail for a month at sea around Indonesia, visiting Bali, surabaya, east lombok, and other areas of Indonesia. this is a wonderful memory in my past.
Hope you all love with my memories in my past this, and if you like her please upvote my story this.
And thank you very much to @jerrybanfield for creating the Supernatural Writing Contest (SWC), so I can follow and recount my memories of the past.
