Haii,guyss. Welcome to my blog. My name is Tifani Nurdiyanti. I study at UIN Alauddin Makassar. I know that my blog is boring for you. But, if it’s interesting, thanks in advance:) okey, I will write my story telling here. I've ever told this story when I was in Junior high school at competition story telling about Indonesian culture. So, happy reading.

"BATIK brings my future"

There is a girl who live in the village. Her name is Sahara. Sahara is a good student at her school. She is very kind, smart and diligent. She lives with her grandmother. Now she is 17 years old. It means shes is in senior high school. Some day, there is competition about making a dress from batik. She is so excited for joining that competition. One week later, she has prepared anything for the competition. From that sketch untill the colour. This competition was held by UK. UK is interesting about BATIK in Indonesia. So, they are finding some people for making a dress shop in there. 

And the competition is going well. All participants are doing that very well and honest. There is 50 participants from another school. Sahara feels nervous and not confident because she thinks that her dress is not beautiful and have many disadvantage. A few hours later, the winner will be announced. Suddenly, one of sahara's friends is coming to see sahara and give a spirit. Sahara's friend say 'Sahara, i think you will be a winner because your dress is beautiful and unique'. And Sahara says thank you to her friend. 

Someone is on the stage and ready to announce who is the winner. And,,,,,, He says 'Oh my god, at this time I wille announce the winner and i agree who will win this competition because her dress is so beautiful, unique and i have never seen this. This is great:). I will not waste much time, so i announce directly right now. And the winner is........... Sahara'

Sahara feels not believe that and she is crying. She is going on the stage and say some words for her teachers, her friends and her grandma. 

After the announcement, she goes home and puts her dress. She is still  not believe that she is a winner from that competition. 

Day by day, year by year, sahara always practice to making a dress from batik. And this year, she will graduate from senior high school. She is thinking about where she will continue her education while she helps her grandma at home. 

The next day, there is someone who comes to her house and gives a letter. She doesn't know who he is. But he says 'this is a letter from UK for you'. Sahara is confused about that letter. Why the goverment of UK gives me a letter? Sahara asks. And the man says "I don't know because i'm just a postman". Sahara said thank you to the postman and get into the room soon. She opens the letter. And then, She is very surprised because of the content of letter. Sahara is accepted in college which exist in United Kingdom. she tells her grandma. suddenly her grandma hug her and fells so happy. sahara is crying in front of her grandma. it means she will leave her grandma :'(
one day, she is thinking about the letter and her grandma. "what will happen to my grandma if I leave her alone?" sahara said. "what should I do? Do I accept it or still here with my grandma?" she said again.

Suddenly her grandma comes over sahara. "what are you doing, dear?" her grandma asked. "I am worried to leaving you alone, grandma. I think i can't accept this scholarship" sahara answered. And her grandma hugs her and says "It's okey, dear.  This is a great chance for you. Don't worry about me".

One month later, sahara has accepted the scholarship. She gets ready to go. Sahara and her grandma rent a car to the airport. Then, they arrived at the airport. Suddenly, her grandma gives some advices for Sahara. "sahara. My dear. I know you have been growing up. But, in my eyes you are still my grandchild,  you are still a child. Please, take care of yourself, don't forget to always calling me, oke? I will miss you, dear" her grandma said. Sahara is crying and hugging her grandma. "I am so sorry, grandma. I have to leave you to making my future goals. I won't forget your advices. I will call you everyday when I have much free time. Grandma, Please take care of yourself too. Be healthy. Don't forget to eat on time" sahara said. 

~And now, It's time to parts ways. 

Day by day, year by year, sahara tries to familiarize herself. She gets a couple of great friends there. She is happy and always study hard. And she never forgets to call her grandma. Maybe Sahara doesn't want to take too long in united Kingdom. She really wants to finish it fast. everyday, everytime, when Sahara is free or doesn't have lectures, she always call her grandma. after that, she is looking for something like sketch, chooses or design her dress.

someday, sahara's class will get an exam this week. sahara is thinking,"what will I make?". suddenly, she remember that there is batik that makes her interested. and she chooses to make a dress from toraja's batik, south sulawesi. she thinks toraja's batik is unique dan beautiful. one week later, sahara's lecturer ask Sahara,"Sahara, may I know where you found this design? it's so amazing and I"m interested". sahara answer "Yes, Ma'am. this is from my country, you can find it in Toraja, South Sulawesi. this is batik from Indonesia". Sahara's lecturer doesn't believe and Sahara shows her how wonderful Indonesia.

3 years later, the last year for Sahara studying at United Kindom. Sahara is not going to miss her college graduation. Her grandma will come in sahara's graduation. the next day is sahara's graduation day. Sahara is really happy because her grandma came. her grandma prouds of sahara and gives a little kiss to sahara.

2 weeks later, Sahara and her grandma go to Indonesia. and now, sahara is designer and opens a boutique. sahara has been able to help earning money while introducing her work to the world.
