Ramdani's Biography
Ramdani is a neighbour, whose house is just in front of my house, right next to the integrated services post (in Indonesian, as known as posyandu). Ramdani, or commonly called Dani, is an assistant operator of heavy weighing equipment from large and small trucks that transport raw materials for making snacks.
The man who was born on 20 August, 1974 has two sisters, each male, and female. Dani only took the highest level of elementary school education, which made it difficult to get a job. Around November 1995, as the first child, Dani wanted to migrate to look for work outside his home village, heading to the city. Dani finally anchored in a village in the Sentul region. He finally got a job. In 1997, Dani got a house from the results of his hard work, in the same year, he married his idol, a woman named Yati, who in 1999 gave birth to her first son, who would become his successor later. Until now, Dani has three sons.
Dani is a very generous person. He is always happy to help others, as well as his clean habits, for example, sweeping the scattered garbages and then burning it in front of his house, which has the possibility of smoke entering someone else's house. Sharing is good, of course. Dani is a religious person. When it's time to pray, Dani will call his wife and children who are gathering with other mothers to stop for a moment to worship.
Dani's style of speech is not like ordinary people. He is famous for speaking frankly, using everyday language, Sundanese, which seems funny to hear if you do not understand what he means, but it is different if you understand what he says. Dani also managed to educate his three sons well. His first child succeeded with his mechanical hobby, his second child entered the boarding school, while his third child followed his father, diligently worshiped and recited, even though it was still very small.
Dani likes to attend events organized by the village. For example, associations of family heads that discuss general household problems, or become directors during activities at village integrated service posts, which are located close to their homes. He also likes to guide the young people in the organization (Karang Taruna) when they are going to hold events, such as the commemoration of Independence Day which is held every 17 August, or other holidays that need to be met first with the village officials.
Discussing personal achievements, many people are proud of their achievements because they succeed in high school, successfully buying a house or car of choice. However, Dani is different. He told me "It's useless from school to college, managed to buy a luxury house or a nice car if it ends up not being useful to society." Although Dani is often underestimated, I think Dani is quite wise.
Dani rarely quarreled with other neighbours or at work. He said "I personally, why should the problem be extended? Just laugh, and let him win. The one who sane just conceded. Am I right?" He said while laughing.
My neighbour has many differences and certainly many similarities. But in my opinion, Dani is what I think is unique. He solely devoted himself only to God, the environment, and his family.
People like Dani are people who should be emulated by the people. He is a person who likes to work hard and is not unyielding, putting the interests of others above his interests and above all is diligent in worship. Although sometimes people often look down on Dani because of low education and short mindedness, Dani does not care. He continued to act, as usual, barely paying attention to the people who insulted him. But when given advice politely, surely he will accept it with an open heart.
Here's a brief biography of my neighbour. I hope what is written can be easily understood. Thanks in advance.
