This contest is very interesting. Of course it would be a great loss if we ignore it. That is why I am very enthusiastic to participate in this amazing contest organized by @sahmie. Topic: Who am I?. I am happy to see the theme you bring this time.

What makes you unique and special?

Honestly, being unique and special is always interesting to watch. As a creature called a human, everyone has their own talents, uniqueness, and specialness. It's just a matter of how to maximize that uniqueness. So is being special.

So in my opinion, a person's uniqueness and specialness actually depend on other people's assessments. Only other people can judge us (me personally) as unique or special. Like people who judge us as good or not. It will definitely be objective if other people judge it.

However, if it is mentioned what is special, maybe that's a little that I can review. I am indeed a person who likes to write, take pictures. Then like to make interesting quotes and satire on WhatsApp status. That was then commented on positively and well by other people.

How do you think your experiences shape who you are as a person?

In the last two decades, I have had quite a lot of life experiences. Of course, that has shaped my maturity in terms of career as well as social and political life. This is something interesting.

I can say that I have lived in three phases, conflict, disaster, and peace.

• Conflict. My area (Aceh Province in Indonesia) is known as a conflict area. We fought against the central government (Jakarta) which was very discriminatory. Thus was born the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) initiated by Hasan Muhammad Di Tiro. Living in a time of conflict is really unpleasant. We have to be able to survive from two warring parties. There is GAM and the Indonesian Government Army (TNI). The community is always the victim. This conflict began in the period 1976-2015.

• Disaster. Aceh has experienced a terrible disaster. The tsunami in 2004. On December 26, 2004, an 8.9 SR earthquake rocked Aceh and its surroundings. Then there was a tsunami that rolled over the villages. The death toll is estimated to reach 250 thousand people. Many relatives were lost as victims of the disaster. This condition is almost the same as conflict too. If in conflict people die because they are murdered, then during a disaster people also die because of the wrath of nature.

• Peace. After the conflict and disaster, on August 15, 2015, the sun of peace shone. The TNI and GAM finally made peace in Helsinki, Finland, initiated by former President, Mr. Martti Ahtisaari. I am grateful that peace is still maintained until now, although Jakarta has not fully accommodated all the contents of the peace. Until now the Otsus label that was given has not been fully implemented. The potential for conflict to return is still very open.

What values ​​and beliefs do you hold that shape your identity?

The most important thing to shape your identity is loving your family, being steadfast (commitment), disciplined, honest, and having integrity. I can explain this as below.

Family. Loving your family is the most important thing. Loving both parents and making them happy must be the main goal. That way, our life in the future will always be good. Because with the blessing and prayers of our parents, our life will be happy. So be devoted to your parents.

Therefore, commitment, discipline, honesty, and integrity must be the breath of life. Because, by always being firm in our honesty, discipline, and integrity, we will more easily gain the trust of others. It is not impossible that others will greatly appreciate our attitude. That way, every target that we have designed will be easier to achieve.

How do you see yourself developing and growing in the future?

By holding fast to the principles above, I am optimistic that the path forward will be easier, with our efforts and hard work. Of course, don't forget to pray that what we aspire to will be granted by Allah SWT.

Whether we believe or not we will develop and grow in the future, it all depends on each of us. It all depends on how far we strive to become successful people. Therefore, to achieve it we must work hard together.

What do you think sets you apart from others around you?

In principle, everyone has their own qualities and capacities. So of course it cannot be compared. I have my own uniqueness and specialness, especially going through the three phases above.

This experience is certainly not possessed by many people. This will be my capital in living my life in the future. Success or failure depends on my efforts and hard work. Hopefully in the future there will come a glorious time (success) in my career and social life. Hopefully.

I would like to invite my friends @basil20 @mhizta and @ynglu22 to join this contest.
