Life Is a Fight

I remember that night as I just finished my class and I was on my way back home. It was a usual tiring day as I was walking down the bus’ shelter, crossing the super long bridge to take another bus route, it was so tiring both physically and mentally. I opened up my phone and looked up for the result of my latest test for the student exchange program to Beijing, only to find out I failed. All over again. I could not hold back my tears as I cried on my way to the bus, in that public space. In a flash, all the memories of failures came across my head. I remember back in high school, I held no money more than transportation fee as usual. But I braced myself with a friend to go miles away to the southern part of Jakarta, back and forth so many times after school and went back home late, for the student exchange program tests.

Have I told you how severe my condition when I started my freshman year?? Have I told you that with that small amount of money, it was only enough for me to pay for the transportation (the long and tiring one) and a small pack of an ice tea??

No wonder I was always so small no matter how much I ate. lol :) Before you continue reading this article of my sophomore year in university, I strongly suggest you to read my freshman year story first, here: "Oktafia's Freshman Story" . So, let's now continue the story :)

Hola world! It's been a really long time since the last time I casually write in my blog. 2016 to 2017 have been an amazing journey for me. It has been the 2 years where I have accomplished many small and big things, and have made some of my dreams come true (many more to come). After graduating from University with all the targets achieved, I joined a company called PouchNATION . PouchNation is a leading cashless payment system provider and providing event and guest management for Event Organizers. Joining the company since November 2016, up to today, it's been the 14th month I have been in this company, and my journey here has been filled with A LOT of exciting experiences. I got to say, I've been working in a company where most of my friends wish they can join too. Here's how I can wrap up a bit of my 1 year journey with PouchNATION!
