Syafira Devani Putri or usually called
Syafira is a Pakistan descent girl. She was born on December, 3rd 1998. When she was born, there were some
obstacles. Firstly, she was born during the time of monetary crisis. Secondly,
there was no hospital which could help the process of giving birth by
cesareans. So her mother was taken by ambulance to Mojosari but the doctor said
that she might give birth in the ambulance. Luckily her mom could give birth in
Mojosari. But the funny thing was in her certificate birth, it was written that
she was born in Sidoarjo. Anyway, now she lives in Sidoarjo with her mother and
one brother and sister.
Syafira
is a smart girl. She loves mathematics, science and computer very much. This
May, she has just graduated from her senior high school. She hopes that she can
go on her study majoring in computer science on ITS but she was still waiting
for the entrance test. For her, the most exciting things about school were
getting a lot of friend. Without them her time in senior high school wasn’t fun
at all.
She started her schooling when she was
four. Her mother enrolled her to a kindergarten and she spent two years in
kindergarten but she did not have any memory about that period. She even did
not remember her teachers’ name.
When she was six, she entered elementary school at 2004. Her mother enrolled her to Muhamadiyah 1 Elementary School, in
Sidoarjo. There were some memorable moments that she still remembered until
now. She still remembered she was called “Sapi Laut” by her friends. One day,
when no one picked her up she decided to go home by public transportation
“Bemo” but she took the wrong one and was taken to the wrong direction.
It was her first experience going by herself and got lost. Fortunately
her mother could locate her and picked her up.
After graduating from elementary school,
she continued her study to Al Muslim Junior High School, Sidoarjo at 2010. When
she was at junior high school, she made a lot achievements. Her school, her
family and here friends were very proud of her because she often won the
“Mathematics Olympiad”. There was no doubt that her junior high school state
examination got excellent scores.
Since she was a child, she had always been
studying in private schools. But she graduated with excellent scores from
Junior High School at 2013 and she was accepted in a state Senior High School
at “SMA Negeri 1” Sidoarjo. She like computer science even more and made some
great achievement too.
Unlike most
other students who are only studying in the senior high school time, Syafira is
also working. But she works not on the office, but she works as a blogger and
made culinary account on Instagram named “@kulinersby”. For 17 years old girl,
she was very amazing because the followers of the account has reached 165.000
people! Not only the account on Instagram, now she made a website for
“KulinerSby”.
Before all of this success, she experienced hard times. When she
was at senior high school, she was broken hearted because her boyfriend left
her. She was in despair and didn’t want to go on living. But her friends tried
to console her by taking her to new café and restaurant to eat. Like the famous
quotes said: “Everything that burden your thought was gone when you enjoyed
your food”. She really enjoyed her food every time she went out with her
friends and as usual Indonesian’s habit, before you eat your foods, you should
take a picture of it first. And Syafira did that. Because she took many
pictures of foods, she made an Instagram account. Actually she wanted to make
the ID “KulinerSurabaya” but someone was already taken it. So she made the ID
into “KulinerSby” starting from 2014. Every day she uploaded about foods
picture, gave the ratings and comments about the food. Unexpectedly, she
received a good response and the followers rose quickly. And now, she received
many endorsement, sponsorship and advertisement. From that, she got many new
experience and money. After having account on Instagram, she also made a blog
and review the foods there. But in April, she made a website for “KulinerSby” which was
designed with a nice design, super complete information about culinary and very
useful for people inside Surabaya and outside Surabaya. Don’t underestimate a
18 years old girl, because Syafira has already had some assistant to help and
work with her.
Besides “KulinerSby”, Syafira also worked
as a presenter at JTV. She hosted a culinary program named "Njajan Huwennak" for one year. She really
enjoyed her job so in spite of her busy schedule as a senior high school
student she still spent time to go to restaurants with JTV crews. Through this
job she could get to know with a lot of restaurant owners and foodies. That’s
the most exciting part of this job.
She liked photography and travelling very
much. She never took a formal lesson in photography. She learned it by herself
and her skills improved as she kept practicing. She also said that she learned
by observing others’ photos and from her own mistakes. While the most memorable
travelling experience was when she went to Mecca. Why? Because she really felt
the presence of God there, and she could pray fervently. Coming home from
Mecca, she felt that she is a new creation.
Syafira has her own definition of
happiness. She considered a real happiness was when she could meet with people
who could make others happy and laugh. She thought that people would remember
her because she is a cheerful, likes eating and take a picture of it. In her
life, she got the main lesson that she has learned in her life, that was if
someone hurt and betrayed you, you should not forgive and give them hope more
than twice. She has a greatest hope that she could live successfully and has a happy family. Such an inspiring person that has some impact of my life! :D
