Last night at 7pm, Pak Mardjuki, Bu Tri, Yulia, and I attended the RMIT 2008 Graduation Ceremony at The Telstra Dome. About 5200 people were celebrating this most unforgetable moment. It was a milestone for every graduating students and the parents, since they built much expectation for the future. The joy was so overwhelming for smiles and tears mixed altogether to rejoice the final stage of the study. The ceremony was marked as the most prestigious role the university could play as the sanctuary of values and knowledge. Education is to civilise mankinds without which the world will be trapped in the clash of civilisation. A representative of the graduans said that some of the students were from non-university graduated parents. They started to pave the way of success to continue the story of better civilisation and the good image of their families.
We came to share the jubilant moment with Sylvi (the first daughter of Pak Mardjuki). She has finished her bachelor of bussiness management. I saw her stepping forward onto the stage to receive the certificate. Jasmin, Dina and Nurul screamed and cheered her up, while Pak Mardjuki, Ilham, Bu Tri, and Yulia clapsed their hands to support her. I could feel what they felt when seeing their beloved daughter, friend, and sister passing through the most important academic "turmoil". God with you Sylvi. May Allah make your way easy to get every success. Everyone had their own imagination as to what their future looked like.
