4 years ago, there was a girl name Veronica. She was still 10 years old. Usually, everyone called her Vera. She was one type of girl that easily blew up and got mad every time she got annoyed. There were so many negative things that could describe her personality such as lazy, liar, arrogant, and many more. The problem was that, she didn’t really care that much. Her life, her family weren’t really going that well. Her family had some financial crisis, which means that there were some possibilities for Vera to not continue her school and reach her dreams. For Vera, it wasn’t a really big deal and she was also one type of a girl that just ‘go with the flow’. Actually, Vera wasn’t a really bad girl, she got some noble dreams. One of them was to become a professional book writer. But, she gave up really easily in reaching her dreams. Well, at the age of 10, her mistakes still can be understood. She ever once wondered about how she will look like if she can reach her dreams and be a winner in her life. The reason why she started to wonder about that, was because many people started to judge her and her family, that made her wanted to change. All she thought was that she could have a true happiness for herself and her family or maybe for others too. Started from that, she finally had realized and her eagerness to be the ‘new Vera’ started to develop.

A few months later, she finally understood about this life and her own personal life. She realized that life is the thing that we need to pass through by struggling and suffering until we can achieve what we want in life and especially in the thereafter too. From that, she had changed her mindset about life and knows what does she need to do in this life, which is by doing her best. The word ‘doing her best’ already includes all of the positive things based on her abilities. She really wanted to bury all of her negative personalities using the ‘doing her best’ way. The first drastic changes that happened was at her academic score. That time, Vera still had her school as a 5th grade student at a public school. At term 1, she hasn’t change into the ‘new Vera’ yet, but at term 2, she suddenly boosts up and often got 90 above for her score at any subject. Her friends and teachers started to be proud of her but a little bit of confusion because of her personality that changed really distinct. Because of that, she got many good friends and people always thought that Vera was really out-going. The other changes that Vera made was her religion. By studying more knowledge from her religion, she knew about how to be nicer with others, to be more patient, to not be arrogant, and many more other knowledge that she got. The cool thing was that, she didn’t only know all of those knowledge, but she really implemented it in her daily life by doing her best in implementing that. Started at term 2, she always be the star student at her class because of her own effort.

When she finished her education at 5th grade, she would never think that her education really ended in her life, “education is unlimited from this life, because education is not something that we can only get at school, but we can get it at anywhere and anytime” Vera thought. She can’t continue her school to be a 6th grade student because of the inadequacy of her family’s finance. At the time where her friends were continuing their school, Vera didn’t really know what to do at that moment, so she thought that making money would be good in her young age. She started to make money by teaching people about any kind of subject, including giving motivation of how to reach the dreams. In this young age, she already had around Rp.5 million because of her job that she did.

Because Vera was well known as a smart girl at 5th grade, before she went to junior high, Vera was invited by the government to have a scholarship to a famous school in Australia which made her felt really happy, amazed, and thankful. But she kept asking for a year “how can it led me this far”. And the only answer that she got was because of her own effort and God also has predestinated Vera to be a successful person. One of her successful achievement was becoming a professional book writer. She has written 3 books in this junior high about her life and also motivational and inspirational books.
