My Adolescence

I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.

It started with acne that showed up on my face. It was very annoying. It lowered my self-
esteem and I was embarrassed to come out of my house and play with friends.

Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes started to vanish
although those showed some black spots in my face.

That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of good
experience too.

ditulis oleh Resdwitarini

75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride it. I persuaded my father to teach me
to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, my father refused my request and promised that he would
teach me two or three years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father surrendered and
promised to teach me.

He began to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was very
patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my ability to ride a
motorcycle. " Yes, I can ".

One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So, myself tried
bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but when I was going back to my home and I passed
through a narrow slippery street, I got nervous. I lost my control and I fell to the ditch.

After that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father would be angry
and never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on the contrary, my father was very
proud of me. He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I got my father's
permission to ride motorcycle.

A Page from A Girl's Diary

ditulis oleh Pratama Lysa Hapsari

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought
nothing would happen, but I was wrong.

That night, I was watching television with my family when I heard someone lit fireworks in
my front yard. I peeped through my window glass but could see nothing. It was very dark
outside. Then I thought it had to be my cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped
down on my sofa again and tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with
disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday.

I shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five minutes later my
mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me to come out. Wondering what was
going on, I grabbed my jacket and hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her
bring a bag full of firework and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend come
out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful birthday cake on her hands. Oh my God!
I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was too stunned to say anything. I realized I
was blushing furiously because my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors
too!

A plain day, or I thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest moment in my
life. I didnt even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the simplest word.
