Melody and Intonation: A Journey of Personal Change

My name is Atta, 19 years old. I am still young, but my life journey has made me grow up faster than my age suggests. I am a graduate of LP4Y, a place that not only teaches skills, but also supports my personal change, shaping the way I see the world and myself.

Since childhood, I have been accustomed to living in silence. My mother rarely came home because she worked far away to support our family. I grew up alone, learning to cook by myself and learning to calm myself when the nights felt long. Even so, I never resented her. I knew that her absence was the quietest form of love she had.

After graduating with a degree in Computer and Network Engineering, I carried that diploma like a fragile hope. I applied to many places, but most rejected me or didn’t respond. My savings were dwindling, and I began to question how long I could hold on.

That’s when I found LP4Y, a new hope for a life that was beginning to fade. I came with hesitant steps, but with a strong desire to change my fate.

My days at LP4Y gradually transformed my life. I learned to wake up early, be disciplined, value time, and work without fear of failure. There, mistakes weren’t a shame, but a learning process.

My Catalyst became the most influential person in my life. Her gentle and understanding way of speaking gave me the courage to try again every time I stumbled. From her simple words, “Take your time, Atta,” I learned that it’s okay to fail, it’s okay to be slow, as long as you keep moving forward.

English, which used to make me nervous, now flows more smoothly. My confidence has grown. I’ve started to take initiative, work before being asked, and learn to see problems from different angles. When I joined the team, I brought ideas that made us work more productively. My friend said, “Your ideas always get the team moving.” That made me feel more alive than my former self.

Change breeds dreams. In the near future, I want to become a WiFi technician, something close to my expertise. I want to buy a laptop as a sign that my life is moving forward.

I also want to become a futsal coach. I already have a license, and the field always makes me feel valuable. In the long term, I want to build a warm family different from the quiet home where I grew up. I want to have a comfortable house, a simple car, and a life full of love.

Above all, I want to be proof that change is possible. That life can move forward as long as we don’t stop.

I chose the title “Melody and Intonation” because these two words describe my relationship with this journey of life. Melody is the story of every beautiful moment, every ups and downs, and every meaningful memory. Intonation is how I understand the ups and downs of emotions, changes, and how I learn to express myself honestly.

The two come together to form the music of my journey.
