AUTOBIOGRAPHY

By: Dhamira R. Irfan

My name is Dhamira Ramadhania Irfan. I was born on the 7^th of January 1998 in Jakarta. I was a pretty big baby, my weight was 3.2 kg while my height was 53 cm. I grew up as the second child of three. I have one big sister and one little sister. When we were kids, me and my big sister fought a lot, we fought almost every day. But of course, we were still really close. It was only the two of us until my little was born when I was eight. When she was born, I was a little shock because I have been the youngest kid for eight years. So, I didn’t really know how to behave around toddlers.

When I was 5, my family and I move to Balikpapan. I started elementary school in Balikpapan when I was six in SD Patra Dharma. There were many rumors that a crocodile was held as a pet somewhere inside the school.

My family has to move again, back to Jakarta two years later. In 2006 I entered SD Yasporbi 2, but I only stayed there for 6 months. In 2007 I moved again, this time to Surabaya. I went to SD Muhammadiyah 4 in Surabaya. I was a very naughty kid there. My friends and I often skip Friday’s ‘keputrian’. Almost every week we got into trouble for skipping. But, that still didn’t stop us from doing that the next week.

In 2008, when I was in fifth grade, I got hit by a motorcycle. It happened when I was waiting for my mom to pick me up after school. At that time, I didn’t know how to cross the road yet. So, usually I cross the road with someone else guiding me. But that day, my friends left me, after I buy some snack across my school. When I want to get back to school, I inevitably have to cross the road by myself. So I ran as fast as I can to my school. But the next thing I felt was something hard has hit me in the thigh. I almost lost one of my shoe because of that motorcycle. My home teacher was so angry when he found out I got hit by a motorcycle, even madder than my own parents.

When I reach 6^th grade, I have to move again to Jakarta. It was probably the hardest move I have been through at that time. In Jakarta, I went to SD Muhammadiyah 5. Even though I was there for only a year, there are many memories that I made there.

After finishing national exam in the elementary school, I continued my study to SMP Labschool Kebayoran. There weren’t many things that happened to me during junior high except some student exchange program. So, I went to a student exchange program in Pekanbaru for a week. I stayed on a dormitory there. Even if it was only for a week, it was one of an unforgettable experienced I’ve had in life.

I was in the 8^th grade when I first represent Indonesia on a cultural mission. Barcelona was where the festival held. It occurred for 2 weeks only. It was such a great life experience that I would never forgot. After graduating from junior high, I continued my study to SMA Labschool Kebayoran.

The most recent trip that has occurred to me was going to Europe with my senior high classmate. It was a cultural mission in Poland. We spend 2 weeks in the festival together and 1 week for the tour. It has by far been the most memorable experience I’ve been through in my life.
