Flying Without Wings


by Arini Sabrina

Some years ago, there was such an amazing part of my life story because I could fly with my own struggle. To be honest, I had never taken a trip using an airplane. So, when I entered university for the first time in Yogyakarta, I attached that dream into my heart and my prayers, hoping that flying would come into reality soon. Instead of daydreaming every day, I passed the days by trying to get much knowledge from the lectures and joining university choir, since I love singing very much. From the choir, I got good news that there was a national university student festival which is conducted every two years, and one of the contests was pop singing. The point that made me enthusiastic was the festival would be in Pontianak next two years. I thought to myself that the festival might be the door to fly. I was really interested and after that I prepared myself to welcome the moment.

As time went by, I finally knew that there was an audition for the festival in my university. Therefore, I immediately joined the activity. I sang with my own style, trying to sing from heart, since I knew that singing is an activity of sending messages from the heart, not from the mind. Although I was not confident, really not confident, but I tried my best, as far as I could. At the end of the audition, the first miracle came. The judges announced that I was the winner and had a right to join the contest on the province level. Alhamdulillah, my dream was closer. But, again, I had to prepare for the most deciding moment to get the golden ticket to Pontianak. To get ready, I had many exercises with a lecturer from the musical art department.

My struggle was not dissatisfying. In the end, I could win the singing contest, representing Yogyakarta province and getting the free flight ticket! Those were the next miracles from God. I thanked Allah, I also thanked many people who helped me much, so that I could see my dream come true.

That was my own precious little dream story. Perhaps, even though my dream is not so interesting for some people, but I believe that a little dream which comes into reality with struggle will take me to other bigger dreams.
