Brilio.net - Education is an important thing that must be paid attention to by the younger generation. There is nothing wrong, if from childhood , they are required to receive education in the best schools. Not only up to elementary school, education up to a bachelor's degree is also required.
Not without reason, a good education can equip someone to get a good job. But unfortunately, not everyone thinks about pursuing formal education. Some people in Indonesia actually choose non-formal education or even go straight to work.

This decision was taken by a teenage girl who lives in Sepunggur village, South Kalimantan. Unlike most teenage girls attending high school, this girl who has recently been in the spotlight on social media chose to drop out of school to become a farmer.
This story about a girl named Jevelyn was recorded by the owner of the YouTube channel Asian Survivor. In the video, this content creator meets a girl who comes from a transmigrant family from Wonosobo. Unexpectedly, Jevelyn chose to stop school and decided to transmigrate.
While carrying out her gardening activities, Jevelyn shared her decision to quit school to help her parents take care of the garden in Kalimantan. He wants to help his parents find additional costs for daily necessities. He felt it would be no problem if he quit school and chose to garden.

"Yes, it's okay, I just want to help my parents," said Jevelyn briefly when asked the reason, as quoted by brilio.net from YouTube/Asian Survivor, Friday (5/5).
"But actually, parents could afford it yesterday, for example, to go to school, right?" asked the account owner.
"Yes, I can afford it, sis," he answered.
Jevelyn also admitted that she was very comfortable carrying out this activity. Through her activities as a farmer in the fields, Jevelyn has memorized several prices for vegetables and fruit that will later be sold from the harvest. So even though he didn't have formal education, he quite understands this small business.
As someone who doesn't really like crowds and traveling to the city, Jevelyn admits that she feels cooler and more relaxed when gardening. When carrying out her activities in the garden, Jevelyn not only checks the condition of the plants, but also collects and ties katuk leaves planted in her garden.

The katuk leaves that have been tied and harvested will later be bought and sold in the market. Instantly, the girl's story stole the attention of netizens on social media. Not a few of them were amazed and encouraged Jevelyn who chose to take care of her parents' garden.
" What a brave choice. If possible, bro, support your child to take part in animal husbandry or agricultural training which will be useful for the transmigration community, especially the area where he is. Moreover, you can see that his father's land is already good. Just develop this skill, sis, " wrote the account @harrysuryono6403.
" That's great, little brother. If you can master various farming tricks that many girls your age don't understand. You can become an agricultural expert without having a degree. The important thing is to balance farming with reading books ," said the account @iking6332.
" The cool thing is that the parents are willing to accept their child's choice even if they sacrifice education, " said the account @user-sj6zv3lv3j.
" If you have a strong determination, focusing on farming/gardening is also promising, sis. Keep your enthusiasm. School is also important but sometimes going to high school is just to reduce the number of unemployed because the facts of Wakanda are like that, " wrote the account @triwahyuwidianto9042.
