How are you Hivers? Have a nice day. My best wishes for Hivers to always be successful and happy in every step of living this life.
Let's talk about my first income !!
If I talk about my first income, then I have to remember the past, About 17 years ago I just graduated from high school (SMA), at that time I wanted to continue my studies at one of the universities in my area, namely Aceh Province -Indonesia.
The distance between my village and the campus is about 8 hours by motorbike, in my area there are no trains and also planes the only way is by motorbike.
I was ready to register for college, but my father came to me saying that going to college was expensive and the distance was so far that he might be able to pay for my studies. At that time two of my sisters were also in undergraduate education. I finally decided not to go to college that year.
After there was a decision from my parents that my college should be postponed, I was very disappointed, I cried, because I really wanted to continue my higher education.
Finally I decided to go to work looking for initial capital for college, I went along with my friends to look for work in my area.
My friends and I tried to apply here and there, finally we were able to work in a market that sells household materials.
Finally I worked for a month, and the good time came, which was to get my first money from my own work. The income I got at that time for one month of work was around $70. I am very happy and excited.
The income is not much, because my friend and I have to pay rent and have to buy food and other things. But instead of being unemployed in my village, I continued to work for about a year.
After that, I went back to my village, because my father ordered me to go home to continue my studies to college, because my father already had the capital to pay for my college at the beginning.
That was my first income, if I remember that time, it was really sad, because there were so many ups and downs to make money.
I am very grateful even though the income is only $70. For me income is our sustenance, God has determined, the most important thing is our effort to work.
