DEPOK, WEST JAVA – Students at the elementary school level and equivalent will soon face exams, including what will be done by the Al Fikri Islamic Elementary School (SDIF) Depok. To ignite the enthusiasm of the 6th-grade students facing the exam, Dompet Dhuafa and SDIF Al Fikri presented a child motivator, Cahyo Ahmad Irsyad, on Thursday (2/3/2023).
This event is entitled “Emotional Management and Self-Motivation in Facing the Exam” as many as 51 students were present to absorb the words of enthusiasm from Kak Cahyo. This opportunity is also used as a muhasabah (self-correction) for students and teachers.
In his presentation, Kak Cahyo explained a correct understanding of the foundations of success. He explained to the students that success is not just a score on report cards. It is more than just a matter of achieving high goals. However, the foundation of success is a strong faith in the students’ minds, hearts, and behaviors.
“The foundation of success is when there is a strong faith in our minds, hearts and behaviors,” he said.
This factor is the crucial foundation for realizing success. It may be that one day as an adult, the child will become a pilot, but a pilot who is devout. When the child becomes an architect, the architect is devoted to God. That is the real success. That is when a person reaches the point where he gets a blessing from God in the world and the hereafter.
“And for the children, the most successful is when they succeed in bringing their father and mother into heaven with their charity,” said Kak Cahyo.
In the middle of the explanation, Kak Cahyo inserted several games to tease the child’s brain. Then, at the session’s end, she presented an audio-visual about the parents’ struggles with their children. This session made every student, even the teacher, pause in reflection while shedding tears, feeling how sincere and loving parents are for their children.
For holding this motivational activity, the Principal of SDIF, Al Fikri Nury Fibriany, expressed his gratitude to Dompet Dhuafa, especially Kak Cahyo. He hopes that children will be more enthusiastic about preparing for the test, and the most important thing is being a pious person to Allah SWT.
