Gorengan Mas Arfan sells Rp1.000 per piece fried snacks (gorengan) at 3 spots around Senapelan, Pekanbaru, from morning to evening. BroSis, at 18 years old, what are you busy chasing?
Because Mas Arfan, at that age, already dared to move from Central Java to Pekanbaru to sell gorengan. At first he was shy and nervous talking to customers because he spent most of his time before in a pesantren (Islamic boarding school). But now he's slowly getting used to it and enjoying his work.
Respect to a young person who dares to step out of the comfort zone and learn to be independent in a city far from home.
Anyone relate? Sometimes once you have your own income, it feels more comfortable to focus on work first rather than continuing to college.
