Life is a choice - [1] university

I was in my last year of hi-school
I wanted to pursue my bachelor in architecture major.
I had my childhood friend's whose father is an architect. Ever since,I wanted to be that.
I searched for the best university,and it's about 4hours away by train (that time) from my hometown, jakarta.
I was qualified to take part in scholarship program for that uni...

Then I told my father bout my plan.
He was definitely against it.
He insisted that I should stay at home as I'm a girl, and I stay in the capital city of the country.
"Why would u move to the small city when everybody else move to here, jakarta?"

I was crazy enough to insist.

I was the first in my family who has an 'idea' to learn and stay away from home. I am a stubborn.
I know what I want.
I feel that nothing is wrong with my choice.

I wanna do something good.
When I can be at the best university, why  should i miss it?

I told him with full of tears 

"I want to go to that university, I don't want other university. I want to be an architect."
And having an opportunity to be at the best university,I didn't want to miss it.
He wanted me to be a doctor.
He said "the risk is all yours, if anything happens later I don't want to know"
And my answer was "okay"

I challenged myself to stick to my dream.
I prepared everything,alone.
I went for registration in that city without my parents, while everyone else was with theirs.
I looked for my accomodation there without them.
I felt sad for moment but that was fine.
I took care of myself.

I got the scholarship.
It was even bigger that I expected.
I was so proud of myself that time.
I knew 'this is my way'.
I promised myself, I wouldn't dissapoint myself, my father, anyone.
I did my best to prove.
After 4years, full of efforts.
I kept my promise to my father that 'The risk is all mine'.
I didn't complain much for whatever hardness he gave me.
I finished my uni time, graduated with great marks.
And I DID, my choice.
And I never regret.
