following is a story among the many stories that berintikan same ..

(disadur from a real story by Frank Slazak)

All this started from impianku ..
"I want to be astronauts"
"I want to fly to space"
But I do not have something right.
I do not have a degree, and I am not a pilot ..
However, something was happening, a miracle,
at least for me ..
An announcement from the White House,
their search for ordinary citizens to participate in flight 51-L,
one of the planes re-alik NASA.
And citizens is a teacher ..
I am a normal citizen, and I am a teacher ..
That day I also send a letter of application to Washington.
Every day I ran to the mailbox, hoping ..
Finally came an envelope with the official NASA logo didepannya.

Terkabulkan prayer!

I pass the first elimination.
This is really happening to me.
During the next few weeks,
impianku feels increasingly close
NASA test at the physical and mental.
Once the test is finished, I wait
and pray again.
I know I am getting close to the impianku ..
Some time later, I received a call the next ..
the program for special training astronauts in Kennedy Space Center.
From 43,000 applicants, 10,000 people have been strained ..
and now I became part of "only" 100 people who gathered,
for a final assessment ..
There are test simulator, test claustrophobia,
dexterity exercises, physical exercise, experiment drunken air,
and many more tests that are not easy to face ..
Who among us can go through this final test?
Lord, let me elected, so I pray ..
Then tibalah news that the heart,
NASA chose Christina McAufliffe.

I lose!

My life's dream destroyed. I have serious depression.
Sense of myself believe disappeared, anger and replace kebahagiaanku ..
I have everything ..
KENAPA God? KENAPA?
Why do not I? What's with the missing?
Why do you treat me with cruel?
I turned on my father. He said:
"Everything happens for a reason ..."
Tuesday, January 28, 1986, I gathered with friends,
to see the launch airplane ulak alik it ..
Moment when the plane passing through the tower that the runway,
I impianku challenging for the last time.

"Lord, I am prepared to do anything that is in the plane ..."

Eyes will water, "KENAPA not I?"
Seventy three seconds later,
God said all start
and remove all keraguanku
when the plane explode in pieces in the air ..
yes, the plane ulak alik is Challanger,
and killed all the passengers in it ..
I remember the words my father,
"Everything happens for a reason ..."
I am not selected in the flight,
although I really want it
because the Lord had other reasons
kehadiranku to the earth ..
I have another mission in life.
I did not lose; I am a winner.
I win because I have less.

"I, Frank Slazak, grateful to be alive in God
NOT because of all the prayer granted. "
