Meaning of My Name

            Do you proud of your name? Do you ever think to change your name? For me, I really proud of my name and I will never change my name.

           How an interesting introduction in Humanistic Studies when Miss Nisa asked us to write meaning of our name by description without writing the name over there. Then other friend had to guess who was person in the description.

            That was an enjoyable task ever (hehe..). I have explored my name more because of that and I found how lucky I am that my father has given my name to me.

            Indah Sari Romadhoniati, the first and middle ones actually are names that are used by many people. Even my friends were often difficult to spell my last name correctly or made it as joke by changed it to Dangdut King’s name, Rhoma Irama. (>_<)

            Okay, I don’t mind because the meaning of my name is more than that. If my name is meant by combining the all parts, it means “a beautiful core in Ramadhan”. I was born in Ramadhan, a holy month when Muslim around the world do fasting and have passionate to improve their praying. Wow… All praises to Allah. How lucky for being I am. I realize too that for my parents and family, in that time, the beautiful core in Ramadhan was me who was come to this world. (^_^)

            Further, Miss Nisa has taught me to know more my self. All of us were asked to express who we are by writing some clue words. My clue words are:

1.      A Muslim.

I proud to be a Muslim and that identity guide me must go straight in the right way according to rules that are exist in my religion.

2.      A Javanese.

I am glad to be Javanese girl and has grown in that culture. If I talk to older person, I will talk by ‘krama inggil’ that has more refined language than ‘ngoko’. Even other people who haven’t know me before know that I’m a Javanese. I don’t understand why. It is may be cause I have slow rhyme in speaking and accent of ‘medhok’. Because of that, I have had a unique experience. I have given discount by a seller of train ticket because my Javanese accent and the he is actually a Javanese too. (^o^)

3.      The 5^th child.

My parents have six children and I am the fifth child. It is a big family ya?!

4.      An Art Lover.

      I am a visual-spatial intelligence person. Since I was kindergarten until now I realize that I can’t leave art from my life.

5.      A rider.

      It doesn’t mean that I am a rider in a race, not. I mean my hobby is riding, both of riding motorcycle and bicycle. I feel free when I am riding. Riding motorcycle fast can accelerate my adrenalin and sometimes it helps me to break of my sadness. That’s why my reason I like Moto GP \(^o^)/. While riding bicycle makes me relax and pay attention more to environment around me when I am riding. So do when I am sad, I can ride around my bicycle for some hours to refresh my mind, and it works (^-^)

Those are all about me. So I reflect that actually people don’t know about them selves if they haven’t explored yet. Just have fun with it friends because you will find some great things that may be you haven’t known it before.

In the end of class section, Miss Nisa asked us to write a conclusion about ourselves.

My conclusion is “I AM THE 5^th CHILD BUT I AM NOT SPOILED” #(^-^)#
