My Goal My Ambition

MY GOAL

 MY AMBITION

 

    So, now I'm gonna tell you about my goal, my ambition, or what I want to be in the future. Well, actually, I haven't really decide it yet. But, here are my goals in the future. There are being a doctor, professional basketball player, and/or an entrepreneur.

    Okay, so since elementary school, I always want to be a doctor. That is because my whole family: my parents, my grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle are doctors. So, I was thinking that I would like to continue my study at FK UNPAD or FK UI to be a doctor just like my family. 

    When I was at 3rd grade at elementary school, I joined my school's basketball team. I joined it because my PE teacher told me that I have advantages and talent in basketball, maybe because I was the tallest student that time, so yea finally I decided to joined and start played basketball. Since then, i kept practicing and realize that I was really enjoyed it, like i was having so much fun in the game of basketball. 

      I practice basketball once in a week when I was still at elementary school. I've joined many tournaments with my friends. I became a captain of my team when I was at 6th grade. Even tho me and my team never win a trophy, but we've learned, we got lessons and experiences that not all of my friends had it. 

    At junior high school, I increased my practice, maybe two or three times a week. I started to joined one of the best basketball club in Bandung. I met a lot of talented people and I got so much important lessons about basketball there. I've joined many tournaments that time, both in school's team and club.

     When I was at 9th grade, which is my senior year at junior high school, I started to think, "How about being a professional basketball player?" Yes, I was thinking playing in IBL (Indonesian Basketball League) and be the member of Indonesia National Basketball Team. Yeah, someone's said "It's only crazy until you do it, so just do it." Honestly, I also think that this is crazy, but who knows right? So I still keep that dreams alive, until now.

    At senior high school, I still practiced basketball, more often then ever. I can practice up to twice a day, four times a week. My 10th grade was amazing. My school's team won 4th position in a tournament, which is the highest position that I ever been. I also met lots of cool friends these time, and we'd support each others and made a great composition team. Even now it's on pandemic, we still practice basketball twice a week. Here, I felt like my skills are getting better and better, and I want to practice basketball forever in my life, whether it's just a hobby or maybe it will be my profession in the future.

    When I was at 10th grade, which is the first year at senior high school, I have a brand new hobby, and that is a hobby to make some money by myself. That time, I was being a part time reseller on sneakers and streetwear items. Finally, at the end of the first semester, me and my friend made an online-based store. Basically, it's a consignment and pre-order store which is focused on sneakers and streetwear items. At the half of the second semester, we made another online-based store and it is a preloved and thrift store. Until now, at 11th grade, from these little business, I've got appromaximately 15 million Rupiahs. Not a bad start, but it's still far far away from being  successful. 

    Based on this hobby, I was thinking about being a business man or an entrepreneur. Because of it, I was thinking to continue my study at SBM ITB or Business Administration UNPAD.

    Until I write this blog, I'm still confused about what journey should I take next? Where should I continue my study in the future? What should I become? I still asking my family and friend about it, about which way is the best for me. I hope I can get the answer as soon as possible and escape from this confusion. Aamiin...

STORY

The Battle of Medan Area was one of the battles to maintain Indonesian independence. Just like the battles of Surabaya and Ambarawa, the battle in Medan was an attempt by North Sumatra fighters to stop the Dutch from wishing to regain control of Indonesian territories.

BACKGROUND

Almost similar to other battles during the revolutionary period, the battle of the Medan area began with the arrival of Allied forces on 9 October 1945 in North Sumatra. The force was led by Brigadier General T. E. D Kelly. The Allies brought one brigade, the 4th Brigade from the 26th Indian Division. The arrival of the brigade was also fooled by the Dutch Indies Civil Administration (NICA) who were secretly prepared to take over the Indonesian government.

At first the Indonesian government in North Sumatra allowed them to occupy several hotels in the city of Medan, such as the Hotel de Boer, the Grand Hotel, the Astoria Hotel etc. North Sumatra officials did not know their true purpose, but merely wanted to respect their duty to take care of prisoners of war held by the Japanese. Some Allied members and NICA were then stationed in Binjai, Tanjung Morawa, and several other places by installing field tents.

The day after landing in Medan, teams from the Rehabilitation of Allied Prisoners of War and Internees (RAPWI) had visited prisoners camps on Berayan Island, Saentis, Rantau Prapat, Pematang Siantar and Berastagi to help free prisoners and were sent to Medan with the approval of Governor M Hassan.

Unexpectedly, the prisoners of war were precisely formed into KNIL battalions. Changes in attitude were immediately apparent from the former captives. They were proud because they felt they were winners in World War II.

In anticipation of the arrival of the Allies and NICA, the youths immediately formed the People's Security Army Division (TKR) in Medan on September 13, 1945. The arrogant attitude of the former prisoner triggered various incidents with the youth of North Sumatra. The first incident broke out at a hotel on Jalan Bali, Medan on October 13, 1945. The incident began with a hotel occupant who seized and trampled on the red and white badge worn by a young man.

BEGINNING OF MEDAN AREA

The badge incident also marked the start of the Battle of Medan Area. The hotel was attacked and damaged by young people. In this incident about 96 people were injured, mostly NICA people. The incident then spread in several other cities such as Pematang Siantar and Berastagi.

As in other cities in Indonesia, Britain began its action to weaken the strength of the warriors by intimidating through pamphlets to the Indonesian people to surrender their weapons to the Allies.

Such efforts were also carried out by Brigadier General T. E. D. Kelly towards the Medan youth on the 18th of October 1945. Since then the Allied forces and NICA began carrying out acts of terror in the city of Medan, so that hostility with the youth was inevitable.

On the other hand, due to hostility with young people, British patrols outside the city never felt safe. Their safety is not guaranteed by the Indonesian government.

The increase in casualties on the British side caused them to strengthen their position and unilaterally determine their limits on power.

FIGHTING INCREASED FIERCELY

On December 1, 1945, the Allies installed boards with the words Fixed Boundaries Medan Area in various corners of the suburbs of Medan. From this moment the term Medan Area became famous.

This British action was a violation of the sovereignty and challenges of the youth. At the same time, the United Kingdom and NICA carried out a counter-action against elements of the Republic of Indonesia in the city of Medan.

Medan Area fighters

The youth responded to the actions of the Allies and NICA, so that confrontation was inevitable. As a result, the Medan region has become unsafe. Every eviction attempt was rewarded by a siege, even armed battles often took place.

On December 10, 1945, British and NICA forces attempted to destroy the concentration of the Tenatara Peoples Security (TKR) in Trepes, but the attempt was foiled. Subsequently a British officer was kidnapped by a young man. Some Allied trucks were also successfully destroyed.

This incident caused General T. E. D Kelly to threaten young men to surrender their weapons. Anyone who doesn't obey will be shot dead.

In April 1946, British troops began trying to push the Indonesian government in Medan to get out of the city. The Governor, Makras TKR Division, the Mayor of the Republic of Indonesia finally were transferred to Pematang Siantar. Thus, the British succeeded in conquering the city of Medan. Without a unitary command, it is impossible to carry out effective attacks on the positions of the British and NICA forces.

On August 10, 1946, in Tebingtinggi, a meeting was held between the commanders of the troops who fought in the Medan Area. The meeting decided to form a command named Medan Area Warriors Regiment Command, which was divided into 4 sectors and each sector was divided into 4 subsectors. Each sector has a battalion of strength. Komano's headquarters is based in Sudi Mengerti (Trepes). It was under the new command that the struggle in the Medan Area continued.
