Nyantri di Amerika



Oleh : Abdurrahman El-Hafid

“America is not good, not bad but different” itulah ungkapan yang masih teringat dari mulut salah seorang staff di English Programs for Internationals University of South Carolina, U.S.A. Ungkapan ini juga sering diungkapan oleh masyarakat Amerika sebagai bagian dari pembangunan mental mereka. Lebih kurang selama delapan minggu kami peserta IELSP (The Indonesian English Language Study Program) mengikuti program English Programs for Internationals (EPI) University of South Carolina, U.S.A. Program yang ditawarkan bagi mahasiswa Indonesia yang sedang duduk di semester 5 ini menjadi program yang diminati banyak peserta. Hampir 6000 mahasiswa/i yang mendaftar sebagai peserta di seluruh Indonesia, dan yang diterima setiap angkatan hanya kurang lebih 90 orang dari setiap perguruan tinggi di masing-masing Provinsi. Dari Provinsi Banten diwakili oleh 4 Mahasiswa IAIN “Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin” Banten, yaitu Ahmad Muzakkir MAhbub (Syracuse University) Dluha Mutammimah dan Ermina (University of Arizona), Abdurrahman El-Hafid (University of South Carolina).

Kami bukan hanya belajar bahasa Inggris, namun kami juga belajar banyak tentan sisi kehidupan orang-orang Amerika. Islam yang kit abaca dari rujukan aslinya di dalam Al-Qur`an ternyata lebih banyak kita temukan nilai-nilainya di sana, walaupun mereka tidak pernah membaca kitab suci umat Islam. Kita bias melihat bagaimana mereka menghormati kita sebagao seorang Muslim. Seperti ketika kita ingin makan di salah satu tempat di Amerika, mereka selalu bertanya kepada kita “Are you Moslem?” kemudian mereka memberitahukan mana makanan halal yang boleh dimakan. Sengaja mereka bertanya karena wajah kita adalah wajah ke-timur-an. Kita juga merasa takjub ketika mereka dengan kesadaran menerapkan kedisiplinan dan kebersihan dalam kehidupan mereka. Kita lihat contohnya di sepanjang jalan raya tidak ada satu sampahpun berserahkan, karena di sepanjang jalan atau di depan rumah warga terdapat tong sampah dan selalu diangkut kurang dari 24 jam. Mereka telah memberikan contoh tentang hidup bersih kepada kita semua. Selanjutnya kita juga diberikan satu fenomena luar biasa tentang kedisiplinan. Bagi mereka memang disiplin adalah jati diri bangsa, sebagaimana yang pernah kita galakkan dulu dengan Gerakan DIsiplin Nasional (GDN) yang sampai saat ini habis dimakan masa. Mereka benar-benar mengutamakan disiplin. Kedisiplinan mereka digambarkan dengan budaya tepat waktu mereka. Mereka selalu datang beberapa menit sebelum acara dimulai, bahkan kalau ada yang terlambat satu detik, itu bagi mereka adalah terlambat. Bandingkan dengan dikita, berapa menitkah orang disebut terlambat di Indonesia?

Sisi inilah yang menjadi nilai plus perjalanan nyantri kami di Amerika. Berapa banyak buku-buku dan kitab-kitab kuning para santri salafi di kobong-kobong pesantren yang membahas tentang keindahan dan kejayaan Islam, namun mengapa kami menemukan Islam di Amerika. Kami sadar memang kalau mereka berbeda orientasi dengan mereka, sebab mereka berorientasi hanya pada kesenangan dunia saja. Saya pernah berdiskusi dengan salah satu warga Amerika yang mengatakan bahawa “Orang Amerika itu kerjanya hanya dua, mencari uang sebanyak-banyaknya kemudian menghabiskan uang tersebut ”. Itulah perbedaannya dengan kita, sementara orang Islam adalah segala aktivitasnya berorientasi kepada ibadah kepada Allah.

Kami belajar bahasa Inggris selama delapan bulan secara intensive yang dipandu langsung dengan para doctor dan professor muda yang professional dan berpengalaman. Benar-benar perbedaannya dibandingkan ketika kami belajar bahasa Inggris di Indonesia. Khususnya bagi kami yang berada di English Programs for Internationals, University of South Carolina. Kami setiap harinya focus pada tiga kelas, pertama Grammar/Writing Class, kedua Vocabulary/Reading Class dan terakhir Speaking/Listening Class. Kami belajar mulai hari senin samapai hari Jum`at yang dimulai pukul 08.00 waktu Amerika sampai dengan pukul 16.00. Hampir setiap hari kami mendapatkan tugas dan menghabiskan waktu di kursi perpustakaan, bahkan sampai tengah malam. Pada setiap hari Sabtu dan Minggu kami mendapatkan kesempatan untuk Homestay di rumah orang Amerika asli. Kemudian kami juga dapat kesempatan untuk program “Enrichment Culture”, yaitu program kunjungan ke tempat-tempat bersejarah dan tempat hiburan seperti kebun binatang dan musium.

Bersama-sama teman-teman dari Negara-negara lain di dunia kami berkompetisi untuk menunjukan kemampuan Negara masing-masing melalui diri kami.Disitulah nama Negara kami pertaruhkan setoiap harinya dengan kerja keras kami, sebab kalau kami mengerjakan hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan atau kami bermalas-malasan, maka mereka akan menilai bahwa seluruh rakyat Indonesia malas seperti kami. Doktrin itulah yang selalu kami sekelompok tekankan sebagai motivasi kami untuk terus menjadi yang terbaik dari sekian Mahasiswa di masing-masing kelas kami. Pada dasarnya memang dosen-dosen sana sangat senang dengan mahasiswa Indonesia dan cenderung mengalahkan mahasiswa lain dalam segi kehadiran dan prestasi serta kritis. Namun memang mereka menyadari karena kita sangat jarang ikut event International, jadi kita Indonesia sullit untuk diukur di tingkat dunia. Beasiswa ini saja menjadi hal yang luar biasa bagi kami yang lulus dan jarang terjadi. Tapi tidak bagi kawan-kawan kita dari Asia lainnya seperti Jepang, China dan Korea. Mereka bisa setiap saat dan kapan saja belajar di Amerika apabila mereka mau. Dengan uang mereka dan dengan dukungan pemerintah mereka, mereka dapat bersaing dan mengikuti setiap event Internasional. Apalagi mahasiswa Arab Saudi yang ada di setiap Negara bagian di Amerika. Mereka menjadi mahasiswa yang tajir yang bisa menjadi sorotan bagi mahasiswa yang dari Negara lainnya.

Beitulah sekelumit kisah perjalann nyantri kami di Amerika. Kami meyakini ini adalah bagian dari episode hidup kami yang indah yang menjadi kenangan dan cerita bagi anak dan cucu kami di masa datang. Kami terus berdo`a agar Islam di Indonesia menjadi percontohan bagi Islam di Dunia. Kita akan terus menjawab tantangan terbaru bagi bangsa di setiap dunia, sebagaimana yang pernah diucapkan oleh Presiden ke-44 Amerika Serikat, “We will face on new problems, and we have to solve by new solutions”. Kita akan dihadapkan dengan masalah-masalah terbaru dan kita harus menyelesaikannya dengan solusi-solusi terbaru pula. Sebab tidak mungkin maslaah terbaru diselesaikan dengan solusi klasik, walaupun ada kasusnya. NAmun kita harus lebih kreatif menyelesaikan segala masalah yang ada.

The Youth; Main Agent of Change


By: Abdurrahman El-Hafid

The ASEAN Community is a place where a dream of future will come. A dream to build a better life for everyone and to make a good relationship among the members of ASEAN. To support this purpose we need many supporting aspects that can make a good goal. One of supporting aspect is the youth; because we need their role to help this program.

The youth is the main agent of change. Make a change in all aspects and all situations. We need a change to face the ASEAN Community 2015 significantly, and the youth can do any changes that they have, for example to socialize about ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations). They can explain about the challenges by ASEAN Community 2015. At least, there are two aspects of changing that can do by the youth. These aspects maybe can help to success ASEAN Community 2015.

At the first is to make a change in collaboration. We need all ten countries to work together in building the ASEAN Community 2015, and all countries agree to collaborate one another. We agree to keep our country together from terrorist, pirates and drugs come to ruin our countries. We also agree to open work opportunity in any ASEAN country, and the most important thing is doing global exchange students to open opportunity among the ASEAN country. This activity can help all students and youth in any ASEAN country work together and learn together about each culture and anything that they have. By doing this activity, we can support ASEAN Community 2015.

In addition, we can invite the investors to come in any ASEAN country to invest and to open the opportunity in all aspects. The youth can help this activity by promotion each own country. They can come to some companies to offer a cooperative or collaboration that can do. As we attract more investors, businessman will grow and there will be more jobs and opportunities. Our quality of life will improve. We will have access to high tech innovation and become connected to the world. These are our goal to make ASEAN community 2015. We will make a community as well as Uni-Europe. ASEAN country will come as a strong power in the world, and bring a new face, face of change and face of spirit to build a dream of future.

The youth is also having a strategic role as social control. To control social environment, the youth should have bravery to solve any problem that are faced on. Every youth in ASEAN country should agree to collaborate building ASEAN together, together in one, one in together. The youth can do Investing in Sound Business Environment. Any entities must prefer to operate in a stable and secure communities, healthy & competent workforce and prosperous consumers and investors. Also in an environment of open, rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory systems and a non-corrupt and well-governed economy. And also can do Harnessing new business opportunities in developing new products, services & innovations, or embrace economic of scales, & other embedded opportunities & competitiveness

The second aspect is to make a change in ability. By ASEAN community 2015, we need some abilities to support this program and to have by the youth. The most important thing is language. We are not only enough has one language, but also we should have more than 3 languages or maybe can speak any ASEAN country language. They can explain and introduce all things by speaking multi-language. Although international language is English, but we are also learn all languages, especially for ASEAN country.

Furthermore, language is a tool to express our thought, ideas and creativity. We cannot express our thought, ideas and creativity without language skill. We need language to negotiate to offer some business opportunities to another country in different language. The role of youth is very needed to support our goal by ASEAN Community 2015. The youth in every country, especially in ASEAN, they should know what ability that they should have. We have to believe that ASEAN community 2015 will success with the role of youth.

In addition, learning another ASEAN language is one of simple things to start to support ASEAN Community 2015. The youth can also make friends with young people from other ASEAN countries. The youth can also find out more about the region`s history. The youth should show identity as an ASEAN citizen.

These aspects are simple things to start by the youth in any ASEAN country. As the youth, we have to know our dream in building ASEAN community 2015. This dream is not only for some people, but also a dream for everyone in the ASEAN country. Above all for Indonesia, this community is a good opportunity to show our existence in ASEAN country. We can show our existence in leadership and all aspects in ASEAN. Above all the office of ASEAN in Jakarta, so this is a good opportunity to lead ASEAN country.

In conclusion, the youth is the main agent of change. They are as iron stock to country. The future of youth is the future of country. If they are given to take part in this community, they will give the best for everyone. We should believe that the youth is a main agent of change.

McKissik Museum`s NATURAL CURIOSITY EXHIBIT


By : Abdul Rohman El-Hafid

On May 1, 2009, I went to McKissik Museum of University of South Carolina. I saw a lot of things that had been collected by the scientists. At the time, I`ve look the exhibit in there, and I did not think about the reason of scientists for collecting and killing living things. If I had more time, I would like to think about the reason of scientists. Moreover, museum is a good place to know about the development of the scientific. Everyone will see a lot of new things that were discovered by the scientist.

In my opinion, I support all activities that have been done by the scientists. They tried to analyze a lot of things. Because of the discovering and collecting of the scientist, we can get more information about something that we don`t know. It also can help us to know about the symptoms from diseases that are caused by animals like bird flu, swine flu, etc. The scientists need a source and data to know about something and the ways are collecting and killing. I think this is reasonable to understand the scientists why they collected and killed living things. I can`t imagine, if only the scientists had never collected and killed living things that we would have gone to the Museum.

As we know, the animals are living creatures as well as human beings. All people in the world believe that all living creatures should be respected. It is wrong for everyone to kill and collect living things without scientific reasons. On the other hand, it is right to collect and kill living things when the reason is for researching.

Actually, between positive results and negative results from the scientific study of living things are not important enough to discuss, because I feel that we need knowledge scientifically. We should be smart to face this problem. We have known the purpose of scientists to do something, and we`ve known its results. After that, we can decide and talk this matter by resources.

In summary, this is the right way to collecting and killing living things when the reason is for researching. Everybody will get more positive results than negative results from the scientific study of living things. In addition, we should support all activities that can give more information and knowledge.

THE MOVIE OF LASKAR PELANGI



By : Mr Abdurrahman El-Hafid
Laskar Pelangi is one of the most popular movies in Indonesia. This movie is taken from the novel “Laskar Pelangi”, that was written by Andrea Hirata. He is a student from Sorbonne University, Paris. Actually, he wrote this novel just for diary. He wrote some stories when he was child with his friends and teacher in his school. He planned to print out his diary and he would like to give his diary to his friends and his teacher. At the time one of his friends interested in with Andrea`s diary, and he sent the diary from Andrea to a publisher. Eventually, the publisher was interested and they wanted to publish it as a novel. After publishing, the publisher very surprised, because this novel sold about 1000 copies in 2 months.
Because of the popularity of this novel, a film director tried to discuss with Andrea Hirata about his desire to make a movie that would have been taken from the novel Laskar Pelangi. Finally, Andrea agreed with him, and the film director started his project to make movie of Laskar Pelangi. He knew that he should make a movie like its novel, a best-seller and popular. After he finished the project, he planned to make the first launching this movie. At the debut, there were many people who were enthusiastic to watch it. Even, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the 7th of president of Indonesia, came to this ceremony.
The meaning of “Laskar Pelangi” is Armies of Rainbow. This movie tells about seven boys who were studying in the Belitong Island. Belitong is one of the islands in Indonesia, because it is so far from capital city, Jakarta. Belitong Island is poor area without technology, information, facilities etc. However, Belitong has a big mining company. They always think optimistically to face on the future. They studied in Muhammadiyah Primary School, the oldest school in Belitong. This school just have two teachers, included the head master. And its building was unsuitable for studying generally. But, the members of Laskar Pelangi always want to give better for their school in all competitions. And they gave many trophies. They were very clever students who lived in Belitong, a place for which Indonesian diamonds will come.
In addition, their teacher always gives advisement and he ever said that “Be a person who always gives as much, and don’t be a person who always accepts as much.” This is the motivation from the teacher who cares about his student’s future.
By watching this movie, we can see the value of education, how important the education for everybody, wherever they live. We also learn about how to be a good teacher. We should know about the fighting of Laskar Pelangi. That condition may come to us some time, even today. The members of Laskar Pelangi can solve the problem of poverty by studying hard. And now let’s we ask ourselves, Do we study hard? Perhaps, the answer is yes, because we live in modern era where is supported by facility and technology.
In conclusion, I recommend that you to watch this movie. We will find the new world where the extraordinary people live. We can learn from Laskar Pelangi about motivation, personality, simplicity and assiduity. We expect our education career will be better and we get our dream that we want.
