He
is a polite and kind man. This is my
friend, his
name is M. Farhan Alfarizy, I know
him trough some kind of game.
Usually people call him as
Aang or Farhan. Farhan was born on 18
September 1997 in the city of Depok. But
he grew up in Sukabumi. Farhan was raised by his grandmother because his parents worked in Jakarta and
were rarely met with Farhan. In his
childhood, Farhan often spent his time playing in the fields, swim in the river, and
climbing trees which of course we
could not be found in the City. I only got to know Farhan when I was sitting in
the 6th semester of college, by chance my high school friend was Farhan's
younger classmate and liked to played some games together. I was
interested in getting to know Farhan better for some reason. From the first time, I knew Farhan gave a
mature and protective figure. Farhan is also a polite child and not
adventurous, that's why I am interested in writing his biography and have asked
permission to write.
Farhan
often told me that he had been active in sports activities and other
organizations, from junior high school until
college. One of the sports
activities that he concentrated on was basketball and his greatest achievement
was he had participated in basketball and martial arts throughout Sukabumi
Raya. It was different when Farhan studied more in the Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam
(HMI) organization in Bogor, at first I thought that it was difficult to get to
know Farhan for fear that the conversation would not be in the same direction
because the background of the Islamic student collage and organization made me initially think
there will be a time of debate of opinion and all kinds. But, fortunately it doesn't
happen until this day. When
discussing Farhan's ideals is
Machinists, but those ideals have not been realized because of one thing or
another that finally made Farhan decide not to continue his ideals
Apart
from playing games, what Farhan likes is photography
on several occasions Farhan often shows that he has the skills in taking
pictures but his skills are still not comparable to the editing skills in a
video. Also on several occasions Farhan and his friends, Alan and Adam, they
often receive video editing services and often sleep early because they focus
on working on the video project. It
may seem tiring to the eye. But, for Farhan, there is a sense of
satisfaction
when the video looks neat to people . There was a proud opportunity when I
learned that Farhan was instrumental in an International seminar in the city of
Bogor
through his work with his
friends and lecturers. But this was unfortunate, because the seminar was
established in April 2020 where Indonesia was experiencing a covid-19 pandemic so it was an
event it was removed.
Armed
with more independence because the situation from Farhan as a child who was far
from his parents made me interested
to discuss it. There
are so many life lessons that I can take from Farhan and there is one event
that made me reprimanded and made me think "What if I am not facilitated
by my parents again?" although all
parents would want to do their best for their successors. When in November 2019, my family and I had a
disaster, my father had
accident, hit by a car and after
that the situation changed.
Farhan whom
really helped me very much. He
guided me. Accompanied me when the
hard things happened until that time that Farhan's made me
realize and there was one thing that Farhan told me at the time and he also
wanted to convey to all the child at
his age, that "I am very used to it when I have difficulties
even greater than you. When I was a child, I did not get full-love from my parents.
I lacked attention as a child, I always solve my problems in my own way. Living
with my grandmother's big-family made me have a little difficulty in
communicating to solve my problem. Everything I faced by myself. Started from victims
of bullying to fighting against my own ego to always succumb because of the
situation. The things that I want to tell to you and all the children who can
still live one roof with parents, be thankful. Don’t let communication with your
parents bad and do not complain if at any time our position is below because
there are still many people who are not more fortunate than you". Through
Farhan my perspective changed, I am more grateful for whatever happened.
