The Last Choice

When I was in Year 9 SMP Negeri 1 Kalasan, I started to be confused when I had to choose a school after I graduated from SMP Negeri 1 Kalasan. It was because there were so many choices, senior high schools or vocational high schools.
I am interested in computer so I ever had an idea to continue my study at vocational school majoring in computer network. When I told this to my parents, they did not fully agree with me. They gave me a lot of things to consider about the weaknesses of studying at vocational schools. One of them was that I would only have very limited programs to choose at university. My parents have a plan that I should continue my study at university so it will be better for me to continue my study at senior high school. Finally, I agreed with them.
Days went by. Another different choice came to my mind. I had an idea to study at Pondok Pesantren first before I continue my study at senior high school, or, I study at Pondok Pesantren at the same time I study at formal senior high school. When I told this to my parents, again, they had a different idea and they did not automatically agree with me. They said that it was better for me to go to Pondok Pesantren when I had already got a university. At last, I followed what my parents suggested.
Besides the choices I just mentioned, I also wanted to be one of the students of Jogja city, popularly called Pelajar Kota Jogja. For that reason I wanted to enter one of the senior high schools in the city of Jogjakarta. My parents were in line with me as long as I could gain high scores in the national examination. They told me that if I could gain high scores I could choose any senoir high schools in Jogjakarta, and they would fully support me. I was happy at that time. My parents agreed with me so I tried to study hard. But it was very difficult for me to do this. I found difficult to fully consentrate on my study. I like watching TV and browsing internet very much. And these things seemed to be more interesting for me. My parents were always angry with me when I spent much time on these activities.
Entering the month of March 2011, at school there were many examination tryouts to prepare students facing national examination. From these tryouts I could see my position at school. At that time my posistion was around one-third from the top. It was not too bad but my parents wanted me to do better and better. Finally the day of national examination came. Four days of national examination passed by. It needed around one month and half to wait for the result of national examination. It would be formally informed on June 4th, 2011.
Shortly, on the day on the announcement I was not very sad because I got 36,10. It was not very good but at least I did my best. The next thing to do was to find a senoir high school. I tried to browse in the internet to find some information. My parents suggested me that I enrolled SMA N 1 Kalasan because it seemed to be more prospective. The competition was not very tight. At the same time they also suggested me to try at SMA 8 Yogyakarta. I agreed with them. But, at last, I could only enroll at SMA 1 Kalasan because it was impossible for me to enroll another school while I was already accepted at one school. So, this is it... My last choice, SMA Negeri 1 Kalasan. My parents fully support me.
