God has a Reason
I am studying at a science high school but actually I really don’t want to study there. First of all, I know how difficult the life of a student in a science high school could be, tons of home works, projects and tests in just one day. So when I’m just about to take the entrance exam last two years I didn’t review for it because I don’t want to pass. I used only my stock knowledge in answering the test. I finished the test early because I only guessed for the items that I do not know. And to my surprise, I passed the test. At first, I didn’t believe my dad when he told me that I passed I just believed him when I saw the letter saying that I passed and is qualified for the interview with my own eyes. When I had the interview, I was asked to read a selection and was asked about it. The interviewer also asked me if I want to go back to my old school and I answered ‘yes’ but then I suddenly felt that I needed to study there to help my parents because my sister is going to college. So I told her that I also want to help my sister go to college. I didn’t expect to pass that interview because I told the truth that I wanted to go to my old school. Then again, I passed. The night before my enrollment my mom realized that I still didn’t have my good moral certificate and that was needed for the enrollment. My parent asked me that night if I still wanted to study at that science high school or I’ll just go back to my old school because they offered me a 75% discount. At the end I am still the one who chose where I would study. I chose the science high school. I guess I have two reasons, first, to help my parents and second, to challenge myself to cope with a different environment that I am not familiar. The school allowed me to pass the good moral late. When the school year started, I met my classmates and they’re mostly Catholics and that’s not a problem with me. I had friends who are Catholics and Christians and I know that they were doing things that are not pleasing to God’s eyes. I am a Christian and I noticed myself already being like them. Then, my mom invited us to a church. My first impression to that church is like, uhmm, they’re kind of weird maybe because I’ve been to many different churches and they’re really different. We started going there every Sunday and I got used to them. I also realized how it is really important to worship God. I changed and became a real Christian there. I tried to share what I had experienced or encountered with the love of God with my friends but there’s really something that holds me back. Then, I remembered that a friend of mine gave me a manga messiah for christmas. That manga messiah was a comic book about the birth of Jesus Christ up to His resurrection. I lent that manga to my friends but only one told me ‘You know I think I got stronger faith in Him now.’ And that time I realizes my third reason why God let me chose that school, and that is to share His word to the ones who do not know Him.
“I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.”
-Psalms 57:2
