A MAN WITH 'A BAG'
Written by Armada Sitorus

It is a real story, i ever found some men with many special things with them;gadget, bike, car and many things, but i found this man is so different. He is a good man, he looks great with short jeans and white casual tshirt. He loves music as well; singing, playing guitar, playing piano and he loves swimming and traveling too. When he was a kid, his father took him to a great city for holiday, and since that time he got inspired for he saw many beautiful things great buildings, crowded people and a life at the city. He decided to go out of his vilage after he finished his junior high school.

A really long three years, he lived a way from his family. It was all about faith, with great fights then he finished his sunior high school. He did much things by his own hands, he understood that he's alone. After all that fights, he started a new fight. He dreamed about a new life and a good life. He then continued his study to university but he knew what he had 'nothing' no money and no job but he believed that he can do it. At the first year in university he was really in misery; no money, no food but he had good friends. Sometimes, he sang for many or touhgt children in his neihgbour.

At the second year, he moved to a church. It was one of great churchs in this city. Ouh i'm sorry i even haven't told you who's he and where's he from. His name's Adam, yah that's how his friends call him. He's from North Sumatera 'Medan' and he's now in South Sumatera 'Palembang'. Yah, he moved to this city, not really a big city but he loved to be here. Well, lets go to the line. Then, at the second year he lived his days in this church. He got much things from this church; new friends, new skills, new experiences and a new begining because after a year this great church kicked him out. 'ouh really bad'. But he really gave thanks to this church. He told himself 'i may not stay in here anymore but i'll still go to this church'.

Everything was going well that time, he got a good job and at the third year, a good busnisman asked him to take care of the busnisman's house. That's a good and big house. At that time he phoned his parent and talked about his younger brother. He asked his brother to stay with him, his parent did it and then he lived with his younger brother. As a good elder brother, he looked for a job for his younger brother. Arjun, yah.. That's how friends called him.
At the forth year, he finished his college. That moment was the very best moment of his life. He has sucrificed much things, but that day he won it as he calabrated his graduation with the two of his parent. His parent was very proud of him, they looked very happy; they loughed, they smiled and they told people in their vilage proudly that their beloved son became a 'Sarjana' now. He, his brother and his parent, they knew that it was not the end, but it was just the beginning.

In all that misery and happiness, there's always a really loyal friend that never let him alone, 'a bag'. It actually sounds weird, how come 'a bag' can be a loyal friend?. But this man proves and answers that question. For all days in his life, he never, even once go without his 'bag'. Even this year, i can still see the same things at him. In this year, four months after his graduation, he has been trying hard to find a good job. But then he relized that he has a great chance to be succes. The only one thing that he needs is 'a bag'. He decided to work as a teacher. 'yah, it sounds bad #suck'. He is actually a smart boy, he is not familiar with the word 'give up'. In his life he starts everything with the words 'yes i want it and i will do it' he will do anything he wanted, no matter he can or not, that's not a problem for him.

Today, he works for nobody, because he works as a private teacher, he is the boss for himself. He teachs from door to door. He just always does the very best of him for his clients. He doesn't have many clients yet, but he bileives he will and he keeps in his deepest heart that he will have a place where many A man with 'a bag'

It's just one of his dreams, and he just started it. There will be a really long way, hard proces and suck days. I do really hope that i can continue writting his story to all of you. I pray so that i can watch the end of his story and his life.
