Last night, I tried to call my Mom for about 20 times, yet they always got failed. Her phone was either busy or could-not-be-reached-at the
moment. The most obvious reason was signal, signal in my Mom’s place was
terrible. However, previously I received a message from my Mom’s number and
saying “Thank you so much for a new phone, I have received it as well as for
other good stuffs. But, I cannot call you, there is no balance”. I was a bit
wondering then finally she texted me. The fact was, Mom cannot text. She might
ask someone to do it.
This morning, she finally went to my uncle’s home which
could reach a good signal to do phone-call. Yeaay! We talked a lot especially
about the things that she just received from me. I was glad to always make her
happy with my own way and capabilities. She was also curious with her new
phone, somehow I just wanted to laugh because her new phone is just similar
with the previous one. I bought the same phone to make she easily becomes
familiar with. I know, Mom will always appreciate me as much as she can.
The last thing we talked, it was about my school. I always
asked her to pray for me specifically for my school in the U.S. Thus I was
super shocked that she said “MIT, right? You know, I always prayed for you to
be in MIT. I also asked my ‘guru ngaji’
to pray for you to be in MIT”. I was just saying, “Mom, it doesn’t have to be
MIT.”
She will never understand even she doesn’t know what MIT is,
I bet. What she knew was, I have asked her to pray for me to be in MIT and I
was crazy wanted that school. I just, again I was surprised. She stated “MIT”
with very good pronunciation, no mistake at all. She remembered MIT, however I
forgot that I have ever had a dream to be in MIT. What Mom did today made me
super excited. No, of course not because of MIT. I got rejected once from MIT
this year. I got rejected also from UW and BU. For those specific reasons I
realized that I need to be realistic for the school. Sure Mom, I will apply for
MIT again this year and thanks for remind me. I cannot stop my dream and I am
pretty sure, you cannot stop praying for me as well. Thank you and I love you! J
