CHAPTER II

Economic Difficulties Are Not a Barrier To Achieving

Goals

The story in this book began in 2010 at that time Dian

had just graduated from MAN 3 Jakarta and had a dream to study at the

University of Indonesia majoring in Medicine. But Dian's wish was crushed due

to poverty. So, her family had little choice but to send Dian to a midwifery

school. Dian also continued to the advanced Indonesian health science college

which is a prestigious private university in the first D4 midwifery in

Indonesia. However, Dian faced financial difficulties because at that time her

parents' business was not going well and her father wanted to retire in the

Indonesian National Army. Even his family had to borrow a scholarship fund of

200 million.

 This fund must be

repaid after Dian graduated from college and worked. Dian Damayanti had to go

through her early life at the midwifery campus with full of struggles. Not only

once did he have to desperately survive on very simple food. His mediocre

financial condition made him have to survive in various ways. Every morning he has

instant noodles for breakfast, then at noon he eats plain bread without jam.

The most delicious food at that time was rice warteg in the form of tofu rice,

vegetables and broth. While at night he usually does not eat. That was Dian's

diet during her early days at the Midwifery School. However, the economic

difficulties made Dian grow up as a strong woman. Dian believes that in fact

every human being has extraordinary endurance, which will emerge when life's

difficulties confront him.

At that time, papa was only in class 2c. At that time, my

father's rank was sergeant major. I started school in midwifery.  With my parents income at that time was very small to pay

for my semester of college and take part in competitions that made money to

increase my parents' income to pay for semesters and pay for transportation and

internship fees. At that time I went to school where I was required to

live on campus if all midwifery students had to live on campus. I study in the South Jakarta area close to Depok. Every time I go to and home from college, I take the bus or the economy

train to save money because my parents provided me with only twenty thousand a

day in 2010 for my pocket money. Even to ride a vehicle, I tried to share my

hobby of singing with my best friend at that time who had the same fate. With me far away college with pocket money a little busking in a crowded

bus.

Every morning and every evening after school. We are not

ashamed to do that, it's okay if we get on the bus to take us to college, we can

also channel our hobbies of singing and playing music. The bus was always full

of people working and even we were close to the driver and conductor. We used

to take the AC bus 84 Rawamangun Depok Department and also 134 AC Monday Depok.

The problem is that my parents and some of my friends have entrusted us with

even the initials of my friend P, he is a student at a state university in the

Depok area and A is also the same as us going to college with Dian, a woman

among the three. We went to college one way but we went to college at the

expense of our parents to meet our needs, which we often sing on the bus we

ride, we are not ashamed because the tuition fees for our majors are quite

expensive, can be hundreds of millions, the results of busking on the bus

entertained passengers with an impromptu concert on the ac bus, I was able to

pay for food and the need to buy midwifery equipment and could buy obstetrics

books which at that time were very expensive. Without burdening parents. The

money collected can be used to pay for my internship in midwifery and a joint

venture to buy medicines for free medical activities.

I started to study seriously and also started to take

part in the competition for selecting student ambassadors from the mayoral

level first and finally I won representing the South Jakarta area to become

Finalists of the DKI Jakarta provincial youth ambassador (student) competition

organized by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Agency for Community Empowerment and Women and Family Planning (BPMPKB). In 2011 from this I began to get convenience and make more friends. At that time I was a student ambassador for 1 year. Dian had the usual opportunity to meet great people in the government from

Mr. Ir. H. Joko Widodo and mother, met with the Ministry of education

and culture coordination of private universities region III Prof. Dr. Ilza mayuni. MA, Mr. Sutiyoso, Mr. Fauzi Bowo, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.  Also officials in DKI and the central

government. Accompany in every inauguration and iftar or other major

religious events. I am often invited

with my parents.

I study hard to get a scholarship. And in my spare time I

look for extra money that is lawful and fast. and also during semester 1 when

all my friends felt my semester break instead of having to work at my

lecturer's house taking care of a very sick mother and helping the midwifery

clinic at that time I was paid seventy thousand a day and I had to be there 24

hours. Not go home. There is no holiday if you want to meet Dian's parents, you

are only given half an hour. At the age of 18, you should be able to live

independently and rarely spend time with family and friends who work and study.

As long as I learned to care for people and met many people, I began to feel

sorry for the midwifery clinic to check pregnancy and childbirth. At that time,

the cost was very expensive. I was touched.

 At that time, many

underprivileged people had not received delivery assistance from the government

in West Java and many gave birth at traditional birth attendants because the

hospital fees at that time were very expensive. They could not afford many mothers

and children who often came to the clinic in critical condition. My lecturer

helped the mother to be referred to a big hospital in the middle of the night

but unfortunately the patient died on the road. At that time I wanted to help

save the lives of many people by setting up a clinic to help the

underprivileged and also setting up free medical activities. Help the community

at that time.

When I was in college in my second semester, I started

undergoing training which required entering a dormitory and attending military

training and coaching for six months before being sworn in and wearing the

midwife's school uniform. We were nurtured physically as well as mentally at

school and in the military during that time we had to get up early, and follow

very strict rules and there if our semester grades dropped, we were immediately

expelled. We study hard, there is no time to play, there is study and our

parents can only meet us for 1 hour once a week.

We all worked hard but unfortunately one of our friends

from West Kalimantan with the initials name N was kicked out because his grades

were low and we were all sad and devastated that he had to leave with such

disrespect. After that, I understood that a girls-only school like this was

really strict and too strict in its upbringing. After being sworn in and

wearing a midwifery school uniform. We have started to return to our respective

homes and have started at 8.00 WIB in the morning to 15.00 WIB in the afternoon

Dian is at school and from 16.00 WIB to 23.00 WIB has started working at the

clinic Monday to Friday part time at the clinic. Every Saturday and Sunday I am

full and even stay at the clinic.

In the third semester I started to practice not in a

small clinic but started at Cijantung Hospital, a military hospital. I was

chosen at the campus to practice there. I practiced there, I was not paid. All

my labor was free. My internship there

was sent to campus for 6 months. I prefer that the

employees are better and more human. I am given a Saturday and Sunday off. Every

time I come home from college, I go straight to the hospital. I can go home in

the morning and I sleep in the hospital. because I came home too late to get home at 1 pm, so it's better for me to

go home than stay there because Jakarta at that time was very prone to burglary

and robbery as well as rape. When I was 19 years old, I mostly slept in the

hospital, so when I was at home I met my parents, I was only like that for 2

days until semester 4.

When Dian Damayanti at the end of the fourth semester she

took part in the student exchange selection to be able to study at Guangxi

Medical University, China, Dian studied hard, not only studying Latin and

English and Dutch but also learning Chinese. Quickly during the selection test

Dian's verloskundige school moest een beetje Nederlands kunnen spreken in

die tijd waren er meerdere hoofddocenten die vaak Nederlands spraken bij het

uitleggen van de namen van apparatuur en de geschiedenis van de verloskunde in

Indonesië. dus ik moet latijn

en nederlands beheersen. bijvoorbeeld zo als we in het labo zijn onze docenten

meer Nederlands spreken:

1.       Desinfectiemiddel chloorhexidine in alcohol 70% fles

2.       Ontsmettingsbak met korven en dexel

3.       Huntleigh batterijdeksel tbv dopplers

4.       Sharpsafe naaldencontainer Sharpsafe naaldencontainer

5.       Medipharchem irisschaar linkshandig spits spits recht a kwaliteit

10.   Medipharchem baarmoederdilatator hegar rvs 4.5mm

11.    Medipharchem baarmoederdilatator

hegar rvs 5.0mm

Besides that, I also started to study Chinese in

preparation after I received an opportunity from campus for an exchange

student.

不安全人工流产可直接带来健康风险，包括死亡和慢性并发症，影响女性的身心健康和终生幸福，也给女性和社区带来经济影响。不安全人工流产手术涉及将物体或物质（根状物、枝条、导管或传统配方）插入子宫、不具备必要技能的人员错误地进行扩张宫颈和刮宫操作、摄入有害物质、施加外力等。

At the time of the fourth semester and the beginning of

the fifth semester I started studying in China. there I got a dormitory and

started studying there at the beginning of the lecture I was confused with

Chinese but it was only 2 weeks because many friends and lecturers at the

university as well as seniors helped me in speaking and fortunately in

international class there is more English than Chinese. And also at the

hospital where I practice all the staff and patients are very good for

international class students we are very helpful. In China, I just felt a

different and free friendship. During our holidays, we were invited to go for a

walk and see the scenery that was still a village. There I was acquainted not

strong with winter I often have allergies and nosebleeds.

There used to drink alcohol on holiday and it surprised

me a little at the beginning but after a long time I got used to it and

sometimes when I was on holiday I went out with friends and had fun like a

child at my age being able to watch concerts and play at the mall and

nightclubs on holidays. At that time my parents did not monitor me like in

Indonesia. For six months I just found out the outside world was more pleasant

at that time. After returning from there, there was a strangeness in my life,

the behavior of my friends and lecturers at the midwifery campus in Indonesia

at that time was different. I felt the beginning of my suffering when I was 20

years old.

I feel there is something strange with the behavior of

all my classmates, which are like:

1.      On the first day I came to campus I was bullied like in

front of the door of the class above, a bucket filled with flour was provided

when I opened the door my body was full of flour and my clothes were dirty. By

several rich children and his father an official. for there are six of my

friends in class who help me lend clothes and I take a bath in their boarding

house near campus.

2.      On the second day, the lecturer saw that I was always

cynical and also scolded me impolitely and hated me in class for no reason,

even though I was not treated well.

3.      I was always humiliated in class and looked down upon by

lecturers and students because the son of a retired TNI officer with the rank

of sergeant major. The average students there are children of the rich and

officials.

4.      I was ostracized and even in class I was often treated badly when I wanted

to eat, I was bullied until the food box I was carrying fell and my food was

not fit to eat. I'm still lucky 6 of my friends as well as nuns from NTT want

to accommodate me every day to eat at a rented house they know I'm not a rich

kid's pension my dad's salary is only 2 million rupiah but I excel so my school

fees are light and it's a habit every time I come home from school do it with

my friends so I got home I came home late at night. I earn money to pay for my

college needs by singing and sometimes helping the nuns in the church to sing

hymns and make up the Christmas tree even though I have a different religion,

but I like to sing and help the nun. As a religious tolerance, when it's time

for me to pray, I give permission to pray.
