Fatih The Tough Young Man

            Abbas Alfatih or who is often called Fatih is a tough boy who lives in a village.  Besides being tough, Fatih is also a cheerful and excited child even though he only lives with his grandparents because his parents never took care of him and even his father didn't know where he was.  His grandparents were very fond of him which made him disliked by his uncle.  Even though Fatih's circumstances were very simple, he was never ashamed to dream as high.  At school, Fatih was one of the outstanding students.

            Fatih loved his grandparents because they were the ones who took care of him until he grew up.  But when Fatih entered high school, his grandfather left him forever, he was very sad as well as his grandmother.  "Please Grandma, don't leave Fatih alone, I don't have anyone ..." Her grandmother answered while stroking her grandchild's head, "Fatih ... Grandma's granddaughter, you shouldn't be afraid to be alone because in fact we are never alone, that's why Fatih has to be a good child.  those who are pious, don't ever leave prayer, never stop praying, let Allah also not leave Fatih.” After her grandmother spoke like that, Fatih immediately hugged her grandmother so tightly as if Fatih felt that her grandmother was also going to leave her.  What Fatih felt was not wrong, after a week his grandfather left him, his grandmother had to leave him forever, Fatih was so devastated that he had to lose the people he really loved.  Apart from that he was also forced to live with his uncle who treated him badly, every morning his uncle had to make coffee by Fatih, "Fatih make a coffe for me!"  But because it was very early in the morning, Fatih still didn't wake up. Knowing that, his uncle was very angry and immediately brought water to pour on Fatih's face who was still sleeping. "Wake up, Fatih!  You are enjoy sleeping, where's coffee for me ?! "  Fatih was so shocked that he immediately got up to make coffee.

              Due to a lot of bad treatment from his uncle, Fatih went to the city to look for work. But when he got there, he only got a job as a sweeper at a well-known company.  Even though he only works as a sweeper, Fatih still goes to school to be able to realize his dream, he also has to be willing to rest for a while because he spent his rest time studying, not only that he always fasted on Mondays and Thursdays, he did not forget all the advice from his grandfather and her grandmother to never leave her obligations, whether it's an obligation as a Muslim or an obligation as a human being.  Over time, Fatih has graduated from high school and obtained satisfactory final grades.  He received an invitation as well as a scholarship from a well-known university.  Fatih did not waste the opportunity to study hard even though he was still working.  While attending college, Fatih got full support from his boss so he didn't work too hard so he could focus more on studying, even his boss entrusted his company to Fatih after graduating from college.  And after graduating with a cum laude degree, Fatih no longer works as a janitor but as a big manager in the company.

                 Fatih ceaselessly expresses his gratitude for what he has achieved at this time, all of his sacrifices are repaid by achieving the dream he had dreamed of since he was a child, he is able to prove that no dream is too big to achieve as long as we dare to take steps and want to try.
