When I graduated elementary school, I thought I had finally gotten to a place where I have a say on where I would like to continue my education. Boy, was I wrong. Like many families in Indonesia, a child’s education options is not only their parents’ business, but their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, and all other strangers that strangely enough have no professional qualifications whatsoever to weigh in on such matters. So I entered the school that was chosen for me without having consulted me first, because hey, what does an eleven-year-old know about their own interests in life, right?
