KKN, Love It or Not?

Keluarga KKNM Babakansari 2013 bersama Ibu DPL
Tempat : Rumah Bulur, where happiness, gossip, business, and friendship have become part of us for a month. Hemeh hemeh~

Living with 20 strangers for a month ,actually, is not as difficult as I thought before. At first, I thought that this activity would totally ruin my holiday. As usual, when holiday comes I prefer to go back to Palembang. However in this holiday I should go to a small village named Babakansari to do such a new activity, KKN. "A MONTH", I sighed heavily when I first heard that I would spend a month for this activity.Maybe it's too long for me. Besides I missed my family so much I also needed holiday after I finished the fifth semester.

However, I had to do KKN. In first and second day,  those people were still strangers for me. Some of them even hadn't knew my name yet but it's not the problem. For me, being ignored sometimes can be tolerated. I just missed my mother, father, brothers, and my sister so much. I couldn't deny this feeling. It was my big problem. I was even envious my best friend, Rika, that could get together with her family in this holiday.

Luckily, this condition just ended in the third day. I started to feel comfortable with these people. They suited me or I just suited them. I felt that they accepted me as a part of their lives at that time. I liked the way they smiled, I liked when they talked to me, I liked when they shared food to me, I liked the way they called my name, and I even liked the way they mocked me.

KKN has brought happiness to me. My mother, my aunt, and my friends said that I looked happier at that time. Everything ,that I did, showed that I loved KKN so much. I loved meeting them, my new friends. Actually, I have gone out from my safe zone. I felt comfortable to show freely what I felt. I couldn't do it before. I just felt that my environment couldn't accepted me if I did it.

Finally, I tried a new experience after two and a half years I stayed in the flat world. I thank God for the opportunity to do this experience and to meet them. I thank you all guys, my new family :). I can't deny that not every day was a good day but this month was pleased enough for me. Thank you KKNM Babakansari 2013 :D.
