               When once in the evening I asked my uncle to his house.

               My uncle : "Agrisia, will you have the working in Sunday?"

               Me: "No, what’s happen?",

               My uncle :"Do you come tomorrow?.”

               Me: "Yes"

               The next day I immediately went to the house of my uncle in Sugihwaras without saying goodbye to my parents, my uncle immediately asked me to sit on the bench next to his house, I sat down without further ado uncle immediately give me a book titled "story abuzar al Gifari" hydrofoil my heart I always ask what my uncle to love this book directly. After that my uncle explained that the ash zar al Gifari was a companion of the prophet Muhammad SAW who have a knowledge that is not owned by anyone other than that she is also a pious and including the rich of the companions of prophet Muhammad, she used to be very poor, but she was trying to really he became a rich man successful, treasure ubiquitous" after my uncle talked at length my aunt came.

                My aunt : "Agrisia, your mother looking for you to where, she was furious, and was afraid that you were kidnapped person"

I went straight to say goodbye to my uncle, but before I say goodbye to my uncle told me to come to his house tomorrow after coming home and I immediately agreed.

And the next day after I got home from school I immediately said goodbye to my parents to go home to my uncle.

Me: "Mom, I want to go home to my uncle, I got home this afternoon"

My mother : "Yes, but you will not be late again"

Me: "Yes, I said goodbye first, Assalamualaikum"

My mother : "Waalaikumsalam"

After arriving home and to allow me to sit my uncle, my uncle started talking to me.

My uncle : " Agrisia, after you graduate, where you want to continue your school ? "

My uncle: "Take it easy, you would not herding goats uncle"

Me: "but I can’t graze the goats, but I'm gonna try ‘’

               In the evening after the evening prayer I read a book about abu zar al Gifari reply given to my uncle the other day ago, after reading my heart was moved and motivated so I sought diligently so that the ideals I can be realized, in my heart said "it is true goat herding my choice later my uncle the money I can tube for school purposes". After a week or a month working my uncle gave me the money, and the money is instantly got my tubes for school purposes.

At school I had two friends who were very close to me who always give me motivationed and accompany me in a good times or hard named Erica Ferdiyana and Feri Sandriyo.

      Erica: "Agrisia, wouldn’t you go to the Lake tomorrow, the day off tomorrow" says Erica,

Ferry: "I think you are always working everyday, never there free times for you." said Feri assured.

After a pause I agreed. And the next day I asked permission to my uncle for a trip to the Lake Gegas and my uncle let me to the Lake. exactly at 08.00 pm we go to Lake Gegas by motorbike, in the way I'm glad because I feel been so long I do not go to the Lake which is at the moment the current SD class 3 and now I am third class In Junior high school.After got there I read a poem titled Lake:

Lake

Beautiful stunning expanse of your sands

Not jaded eye can see from the end of hope

Is there you know, O Lake...

You fascinate me......

The morning sun rises and sets beside you oh... the Lake

Gusts of wind blow away your white sand

Do you know my heart happy.......

Because it  can visit you.

Oh coast Lake even though you are in love

But you are still arrogant and did not care.....

 If you get angry all suffer

But you do not know as you remain calm

Like the calm water but washed.

Your waves is your tongue

Sometimes disastrous

However you still adored and lauded

 Oh hello my Lake through the wind...

My groan conveyed through your waves....

Send my grief through your song.....

Lake , you remained a Lake

Who do not understand me.......

After approximately 1.5 years I was herding goats, I decided to stop herding goats because I'm focused on my school and continue my education at SMA KARYA 45, after I expressed my desire to my uncle finally allowed me to stop herding goats because he knows that I’m not working herding the goats forever I continued my school to reach my future goals.

              After I graduated from SMP and Alhamdulillah I am also very grateful because I would be accepted in SMA KARYA 45 that famous school in Sukakarya Bangun Rejo and national level.

Problems are always settled in the minds of my mind that on the issue of cost Alhamdulillah with hard work me all this time I could afford and also be able to buy school uniforms and other equipment with assisted also by my parents, and I always remember the story of Prophet Muhammad SAW is Abu Zar Al Gifari who work with really until he became a rich man whose wealth and fortune there where, it made ​​me more spirit in reaching that goal my dreams wanted to be a teacher and also want a successful person like Abu Zar Al Gifari story.

              It is also the story of Abu Zar Al Gifari as the inspiration of my life and the word "Man Jadda Wajada" I will always be remember and implement them in reaching goals my dreams and I always pray to Allah SWT that goal my dream could materialize and be successful in later amin amin ya Robbal alamin.
