Brilio.net - Entering the age of 72 years, it will be commonplace to be called grandfather. But not for this one figure. Kak Seto , as he is known, is actually known by his name which is closely related to the world of children. This greeting is none other than because he is known as a great teacher in the world of children's education. In total, he has served for 54 years in the world of children's education.
But behind his big name, the man who was born in Klaten has had a life journey full of twists and turns. The owner of the full name Seto Mulyadi has experienced the bitterness and bitterness of living life in Jakarta as a migrant. Kak Seto told this moment through a recent upload on his Instagram account.
Who would have thought that this man, who has a twin named Kresno Mulyadi, was once homeless and slept in a rubbish bin, because he had no known family or relatives. To fulfill his living needs, he also has to do various odd jobs.
"Since I set foot in Jakarta 54 years ago, with no provisions and no purpose, I have been wandering around doing odd jobs and sleeping in rubbish bins," he said, as reported by brilio.net Friday (19/4).
His life journey began to change when he met a very valuable figure. The figure he called Pak Kasur (Indonesian education figure) was the one who elevated him to the rank of Professor who pays attention to children. Initially, he became an assistant to the owner of a kindergarten before finally studying psychology up to doctoral level.

"My life has changed since I met Mr. Kasur on 4-4-1970, which ultimately led to my journey as a 'Children's Friend' until now," said the creator of "Si Komo".
Even though he already has a big name and is widely known to the public as an observer of children, in fact it doesn't make Kak Seto forget himself. He considers that humans will actually continue to process as they live their lives.
"The process was not easy, full of twists and turns and was long, making me increasingly forged from a young age. Even now, I believe this process is still ongoing," he explained.
Sis Seto is also very grateful to the instrumental figures in his life as well as to all those who always motivate him. Including various criticisms which according to him played a role in making him a better person.

"So I am very grateful for all the constructive criticism and suggestions that friends have given to make us all better children's friends. Because I believe this country needs more children's friends. You can't just put responsibility on one individual, which of course doesn't escape from imperfection," he said.
Apart from remembering the moment of his 54 years of service as a child observer, which was bridged by Mr. Kasur, an instrumental figure in his life, through a post on Instagram, Kak Seto also expressed his apologies if there were any shortcomings while he was involved in the world of children. He also invited many parties to work together in the best interests of Indonesian children.
"I also don't forget to apologize if what I have presented to the world of children so far is still full of shortcomings. Let us closely join hands to continue working in the best interests of our beloved Indonesian children...!" concluded Sis Seto.
