Brilio.net - When deciding to go to college , someone usually tells their parents. This is to get moral and financial support. Moral support from parents is very important because it can provide the motivation and self-confidence needed while studying. Meanwhile, financial support is certainly no less influential considering the fairly high tuition fees.
But not the woman in this video. For 4 years he did not tell his father that he was studying.
This woman named Nurhikmah talked about the reasons why she didn't tell her father. He started to remember the times when he was still in elementary school. At that time he had dropped out of school because his parents had no money.

However, he did not give up on this condition. He continued to insist until his parents gave in and tried to get Nurhikmah to go to junior high school. But unfortunately, in the end he had difficulty getting his middle school or even high school diploma because his parents couldn't settle some of the arrears.
After various struggles, he finally decided to go to college. However, Nurhikmah did not tell her father about this decision. Currently he only has a father because his mother has died.
It is known that his father is now in the elderly category. He is no longer physically strong enough to work. Because of this, Nurhikmah chose to become the breadwinner of the family and work as a courier.
However, for the sake of his dreams, he is willing to divide his focus between work and study. He worked hard to get everything fulfilled. At this moment the father was not aware, all he knew was that his son was leaving every day to go to work.

"You're great for not relaxing your finances with your father. I hope you get a good job and make your father happy, sis. I'm touched," commented the account @indahrizma
@nurhikmah060 The struggle of a child to study alone for 4 years without telling his father. A father who only knows that his son goes to work every day never thought that his son was struggling to get a Bachelor's degree in the midst of his busy work life. #graduation2024 #younggraduatefighters #greatwomenFathers and Mothers - Woro Widowati
