Assignment #3

My Life, My World..

...Because my modest desires are to be a filial piety daughter, a charming wife, a wonderful mother, a gorgeous grandmother, most of all is to be a godly woman... (Inorda Sofiehara)

I love myself however I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel. I love myself for who I am, unconditionally, better than you. Thinking of finding a good relationship with myself seemed an even harder task, I end up to deeply and completely love and accept myself. Love ourselves means telling that we are worthy, deserving of any love and chance to universe. I am coming alive! I live with my guarded heart for many years. When I was a child, I don’t know how to make a good relationship with other, I only care for world, still innocent. Then, I grew more patient and calm.

An adorable baby was born at October, 1 1990 in Ngawi, East Java, to the lucky family, of course the baby is luckier to be born in that amazing family. It is authentically me. As I grew up, life started changing in beautiful and mysterious ways. I fell down and I got up. I am happy and I am sad. Every day was filled by curious questions. What, how, and mostly why. Then, my heart softened and I began to see the world through really different eyes.

INORDA SOFIEHARA

For who I am, I love my marvelous father (Susakun Sofie), my wonderful mother (Sri Haryatin), and my beloved sister (Ria Sahartian) with all my heart.

For who I am, I am merciful for being a granddaughter of my Sundanese grandfather and grandmother.

For who I am, I am happy live in a small town – Ngawi, for many years.

For who I am, I am proud for being a graduate of R.A Nawa Kartika Kindergarten at 1997, a graduate of Margomulyo 2 Elementary School at 2003, a graduate of SMP N 2 Ngawi at 2006, a graduate of SMA N 2 Ngawi at 2009, and (still be) a student college of English Literature ’10 at Gadjah Mada University.

For who I am, every part of me is gift. I am taking the gift of life seriously and gratefully.

For who I am, I am loving person basically but still selfish, stubborn, and moody. Then, I grew more patient and calm.

For who I am, I am often listening to my inner space, love being alone surrounded by silence, awed by its spell, and thinking by myself, those were beginning of inner peace.

For who I am, when I am hungry, I eat. When I am bored, I eat. When I am sad, I eat. When I am happy, I eat. You see the pattern? Terribly pleasure to eat chocolate, durian, noodles, and fried rice.

For who I am, there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know. But I keep looking for solutions and ways to find out more about myself.

For who I am, I am very grateful for being a part of fabulous people, my best friends I cannot mention all their names. You rock, guys!!

For who I am, I do love my man – Arif Rahman Maladi, wherever you are. I could feel God in me and see God in you. That makes us magnificent.

For who I am, I am not special, but I am me. There is no one else exactly like me, in the entire world.

As I stated in the early, my modest desires are to be a filial piety daughter, a charming wife, a wonderful mother, a gorgeous grandmother, most of all is to be a godly woman.

A filial piety daughter

I'm so grateful to be born as a daughter of my awesome father and mother. They always gave me attention and happiness. They also taught me many things I do not know yet. They gave as the best as they can, I believe. As a daughter, I feel I always made troublesome. But they still say that I am the best. They are always proud of me. So, I promise to be a filial piety daughter and make my parents happy someday.

A charming wife

One day, I will get married, and I want to marry someone I love. I'm not looking for someone who is perfect for me, because I believe God has created an extraordinary person to complete my life. I cannot promise to be a good wife for him, but I promise to always accompany my husband all the time, for the rest of my life.

A wonderful mother

When I was born, I became a child. When I give birth, I would become a mother. This is the happiest thing every woman would feel in the world, to be a mother, as my mother said when she had me. I will raise my children with love and affection. I would give my world for them later, so they would say that I'm their hero.

A gorgeous grandmother

Life goes on. And every woman would go through a period of every role in his life, including when they have grandchildren from their children someday, as well as me. I want to be a grandmother who could treat my grandchildren well. And I want to always close with them.

A godly woman

If I can be a filial piety daughter, a charming wife, a wonderful mother, and a gorgeous grandmother, I feel like I complete my life to be a godly woman.

                                                                        

For the past and for my future,

I always merciful to Allah for wonderful life I have.

Thanks to Allah for what I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
