The Uzaman
My name is Gigih Uzaman and my home
town is Banjarnegara, 150 kilometers west of Jogja. This town is he central of salak and red pepper plantations in Indonesia. My entire big families
come and live in this town; many of many of them are farmers. In my family
there are only a son and a daughter, my sister and I, also my father and my
mother.
My
father is a farmer as well as a teacher in the region. He plants cassavas,
corns and peanut. Mostly he spends his time at school teaching the kids and
hires people to take care of our farms. In the late afternoon he would come to
the farms and checks out what the condition. My mother is a teacher and she
pretty much does the chores with together with our housekeeper. In the morning
she cooks and then she goes to school to teach elementary students. In the
evening she would do bookkeeping for the school because she is the teacher as
well as the secretary of the school.
In
the family there are only two kids, my sister and I. Apparently I have always
been living alone in the dormitory since in seventh grade until now and I only
come home twice a year during Ramadan holiday and in the end of the school year
period. I don’t do a lot of things at home except doing chores and go fishing.
My sister is a high school student, she is tenth grader and she really loves
her school. She spends most of the day at school and doing some extracurricular,
mostly are organization activities. When she gets home; she would not do a lot
of thing except eating, sleeping and studying. Sometimes she helps our mother
to clean the house and cook; mostly she just doesn’t care about anything.
Finally,
I am very proud to be the part of family; we always have many times to seat and
share the story of our daily activity together. We also share a lot of sorrow
and sadness and any of us would give sympathy and solution. Therefore, I believe
that God has given the most perfect family for me.
