Students Are The Stars in The Time of Turmoil

Riots, violence, and chaos happening nowadays seem to give social unrest to our nation. Even, the events are like devils hunting welfare. People now don’t know who to trust, they are also blind to whom they can give their mercy, because it seems that the people considered as friends, can suddenly change become the most dangerous enemies. These facts make the future of our nation become dark, and at the same time, people hope that a hero can come to make everything back to the time of glory.

However, there is no time for us to loose of hope. There is still a chance for us to make everything better. And if we ask who will give the change, just see clearly in schools. They, the next heroes, are being educated by great teachers. They are being prepared to be the best human beings in the future. Ya, they are students. They’re going to the stars in this time of turmoil.

If we try to see our history, the independence of Indonesia was reached by the students having a big dream. With their strong struggle, colonization could be chased away. With their spirit, they were not easy to give up finding ways for this nation. This fact is not only an illusion, because we certainly know some figures in the past like Muhammad Hatta, Soekarno, etc. They were students finally using their critical knowledge after graduation to free this country from the colonization. They even continued their struggle after independence to keep alive the students after them.

Now, the signs of heroes can be seen clearly. We perhaps have ever heard that in April 2010, some college students in Malang had created successfully a vehicle with economic gasoline. At the same month, some Indonesian students became runner up after Chinese students in Math competition organized in Germany. Moreover, it was reported recently that some students from Indonesia organized successfully a program of charity for Palestine, and the program was given award by the secretary general of United Nations.

The facts above should make us aware that in their youths, they proved, the glories they have received not only for themselves, but also for the sake of this nation, Indonesia. They have made us proud of them, and they will not stop trying to make sensation in this world until the name of this country will be fragrance in the future.

Finally, now it’s time for the students to build up their confidence. They have to dig for knowledge as much as possible. The students must like studying. They must read books a lot. They mustn’t stop reaching as high as possible achievements in the academic sides and also non-academic sides such as being a member of PASKIBRA, a member of PMR, a member of OSIS, and also a member of SENAT in the universities.

So, hey the students! You are the stars in the time of turmoil, and you must believe that Indonesia future is in your hands…!!!
