solving problems needs maturity

I was an introvert person, I felt comfort in home, even really hard to meet people and mingle with them. But it all changed while I was trying to open my mind that socialization was important. In beginning of January 2015,I had unforgettable experience when I was in grade eleven, I elected as Head of Inter-school Students Organizations,it began when my old friend Alfira informed me that the recruitment was open. Although it sounded really hard to led this big organizations,because the members came from different school around Pringsewu regency,which had different style of learning and socializing,but the fact was this organizations was one of most successful official organizations under the protege of Political and Unity Affairs of Pringsewu and Regency Head.

Before the success,there were hundred problems appeared during my journey led my members and this entire Pringsewu youth. I had big responsibility to encourage them, accommodated their aspiration, and spread the important information. My members also had different character. It could not be denied sometimes I felt dizzy to think about them, internal problems in particular moments slightly split us,for example when we were in internal discussion,when one of my member proposed some opinions and other member declined it,he was offended immediately,and after that he would never argued anymore, there were also dominated member that always speak without hearing another opinions. These were simple problems that potentially caused big commotions between members. Thus,this was being my responsibility to mediate any kinds of emotions and difference by gave them understanding about the unity,I should remind them that we were here cause our effort, we passed the selection processes,such as sending application,interview, and camp together, this point reached by our unity as student which had the same purposes to made this beloved city be dignified, so IKOSIS members were supposed to be the roll model especially for youth.

The problems did not come only from internal, but also from external,I had ever felt dispirited to lead IKOSIS because of a problem. In my speech in front of Regency Head, and government officials,I made a mistake. There was some sensitive words that was not supposed to say about corruption,I did not know that my speech offended several government officials, because I was pretty sure that I had been filtered and check every single word I would say carefully. However,this was made one of them angry,government officials told my headmaster that I was doing impolite speech in front of important people. My teachers did also interrogated me, why did I speak like that in front of important people. At the first day,I depressed that I have made big mistakes, but in the next day, I tried to remember as truth as possible what I had said. And I thought it was not supposed to be a problem. Moreover,I asked for friends opinion. Was my speech wrong? And they told that it was okay. Then I cancelled my resign proposal. I thought this problem was being my lesson to be more competent in leading. In next speech,I clarified the truth in front of government public inside the cultural night opening ceremony.

From those problems,I had learnt so much that solving problems need maturity in pure thought and strong mental, where we can select and consider every single action that possible to take. It is same when we face the great wall,we are not suppose to turn around and go back, but we have to look for another way or asking for helps, because we still have friends around us to build very high stairs then we can pass it.

I am a third semester student who responsible to be a tutor for my junior,I suppose to available whenever my junior ask me about lessons and courses. On the other hand,I have research of PKM (Indonesia:Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa) project to invent a brand new product initiate by Ministry of Research. Moreover I should not forget duty as a student, that is learning.
