WHO IS THIS PERSON?
You must be wondering, who is this person? How did this person become what he is today? Perhaps you are unaware, but this person is an introvert. The journey is not easy for him to be at this point in life. Starting at a young age, he was bullied because of his height. Because of that, he was too scared to talk in his early junior high school days. But he realized that socializing is an important part of life. So he wanted to be an active person. Yup, that person is me. An introduction is important to get the first impression of the people that you want to make friends with. So ladies and gentleman, here is my introduction.
THE PERSON
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sulthan Uways Dinova, you can call me Sulthan. I come from the special region of Yogyakarta and I am 15 years old
THE STORY
I want to share with you guys 2 stories. The first story is about royal family that rules the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The oldest son of the king or the prince will inherit the crown after their father or the king and will be the next ruler of Yogyakarta. They called the king "Sultan". The oldest son of the Sultan will be the next leader who leads his generation.
The second story is about a young man back then. He loves his parents very much. One time, he carried his mother on his back from Yamen to Mecca (1.119km) because she was too old. He obeyed and respected his parents so much. His name was Uwais Al-Qarani.
THE MEANING BEHIND MY NAME
The first story is where my name Sulthan comes from. My parents gave me this name because they hoped that I would be the next leader of my generation. A leader that is capable of facing the problems of my generation.
The second story is where the name "Uways" comes from. Meanwhile "Dinova" is the combined name of my parents.
My family consists of my mother, father, me, and 2 little brothers. I am the oldest kid in my family. Both of my brothers are still in elementary school.

Back in the 7th grade, I was a shy kid. You can say I am an introvert. I didn't have a lot of friends back then, and it felt kind of lonely. So, in the 9th grade, I started to move from my comfort zone as an introvert and began making more friends. It is hard to move from your comfort zone, but I have a huge goal, which is to be an active person. Slowly but surely, I am making many friends.
