The Best Student of the Month!

            This story was one of my good stories that I have when I got the predicate as the best student of the month in IDeA Indonesia. This story happened last August, before facing Ramadhan month. The best student? I did not even understand why I got this special predicate. I thought I was not excellent, but I belief I was different. I just did what I supposed to do. They called me Iris, the western name of my real name, Riris.
            It was a pretty hot day, the sun shone so brightly without covered by any cloud. I was sitting while thinking of my assignment that given by my lovely instructor, brother Andy, a person who said, “If you do not do this assignment, you are not my students, guys!” All of my friend decided to do not did this assignment because actually we were free but we still have a class and we had many assignments from our campus. There was no time to do that assignment. But what did I do was success made them said, “Yeah, just do it, Iris. You are a good student, right!” Rebecca, Rose, Angelica, and Pauline judged me as the diligent person, but in the wrong way. Extraordinary, freak, queer, or whatever.
             One day, as usual, I and friends prayed in the hall together with all people in the dormitory. We chose the back row for making us easy to run away after praying together because there was speech and we had to listen it whereas we had something important to do, assignment. “Come on, pray then go!”, the words that always be breathed by their lips. They went back to our room, but I, I stuck in that place until the end. I did not why I did not do like they did, I just felt uneasy to the people inside the hall. But in several conditions, I followed them.
             Today was not like usual, in the evening class, my lovely instructor, brother Bastian looked so happy when he told me and friends about something but actually I did not get it at all. “I have a special newsor my special students. One of you will make me proud! Just wait the announcement, I have tried my best to make it true.” Hearing word “Special”, I suddenly remembered about my other instructor words, brother Ahmad, he said “Keep in good way, ris. You are a special student. Trust me.” That words was success made me bloomy.
             Started from several months ago, I was always be the best and the most active student in the class. Almost all events that held by dormitory I followed it, but they did not. I always got the highest score in every test, so my friends always relied on me when we had a assignment or test, it made me almost always be the last personho left the class room with the instructor. I seldom to leave the class, and seldom broke the regulations.
            Until someday, when I broke the regulations, I did not do the assignment, almost attended the class and I got punishment. Brother Bastian felt so disappointed of me, someone who usually always give his sweet smile. I was so shy with him, with everyone who trust me, even with myself. Feeling bad all the day and thinking the way out to make him smile again. It was totally rushed my mind. “Sorry, I did not mean to do that!” then brother Andy gave addition suffer by saying “You guys cannot go somewhere in the night to buy some food or do your assignments outside” and made me more be a naughty girl and almost hated him. But alright, I could not be like this. I had to change. I followed the regulation properly. Doing all assignments, no breaking the regulations, giving my best speech, following in almost every events, being the member of IMUN, all I did to get them trust back.
             Finally, two days after brother Bastian announced me and friend about the special news, the true news were announced. When maghrib praying was done, Mr. Eko, the head of IDeA Indonesia announced about the best student of the month. All the members listened to his words, full attention. Last month who got the reward was Hadi, the senior high school students, the clever and diligent one. Everyone thought that he would get the reward again this month, but what did Mr. Eko said, Me? I was the best student of this month! “Keep studying hard, being good student, and giving your best speech. Congratulation!”
             I just realized that always doing the different thing with the others will created something special. No matter how loud the others screamed that I pretended to be a diligent or smart, or said I was queer or something like that. One that I knew, BEING DIFFERENT MAKES YOU SPECIAL.
