Sewaktu gw masih imut dan masih duduk di sekolah dasar, setiap hari ada supir yg akan mengantar gw dari/ke rumah-sekolah. Salah satu yg menjadi umm I'll say privillage buat sekolah di SD Negeri adalah mempunyai teman dan segala tingkatan ekonomi. Di SD itulah gw belajar caranya naik angkot, berani untuk berjalan kaki melewati pematang sawah kalau supir gw telat atau berhalangan jemput.
Kebiasaan itupun berlangsung SMP s.d SMA. Seringnya naik Angkot terkadang becak (di bandung), ataupun berjalan kaki. Sayangnya semenjak kuliah, gw jadi jarang naik kendaraan umum lagi, public transport pun mengalami upgrade ke taksi bahkan seringkali supir pribadi.
What do I learn from this, beside the public transports are much cheaper than using our own car? Tapi yg paling menusuk jantung dan kalbu *lebay* adalah bahwa gw bisa beradaptasi dalam situasi apapun dengan siapapun. When people judge me like "I bet u never eat in warjok and only prefer to taste expensive restaurant", gw bisa self defense bahwa that's not true.
We can not put ourself too high in our lifestyle, positioned in a high community dan membiasakan anak2 untuk hidup penuh luxury. Because we never know what if God take all of that from us? How can they, these children, will survived?
I never regret my parent decision to put me in a public school. I have plenty of variety of friends all over the city and I learn how to treat them with respect.
Teenage these days should know that there are more to learn than blackberry, Ipad and 'to be gaul'. Let's pay attention more to your surrounding, respect others! That's what I find lacking nowadays.
