The writer knew Rian in 2007 when the writer was accepted as a new teacher in this school. She was a treasurer in the school. Rian is a smart worker. It means she works not only using her physic but also works using her mind to finish her job effectively and efficiently. She was very friendly to everyone. Rian is also a kind person and has high empathy to other people.

Besides works as a treasurer, she had ever taught in the school few years ago. She had a degree in English Educational Program. The writer still remembered when she taught for the first time, she asked for advice how to control the class.  She felt unconfident that time.

Being a treasurer at school make Rian busy. She should manage all the financials about the school with the headmaster and the Management Team. She decided to stop teaching and focused being a treasurer. 

Rian has a similar hobby with the writer. We like watching movies. We often talked new films. Both of us like superhero movies such The Avengers, X-Man and The Hunger Games. We had ever watched the movies together for several times. Watching movies at theater is more interesting for us. Although we can watch new movies at home by finding them in some websites, we prefer watch movie at theater because we like original movies and the atmosphere at the theater.

As a treasurer at school who manage the financial, she worked with her responsibility. She has never worked lazily. Rian often still worked at school when the other officers had left the school. I can’t imagine how complicated being a treasurer, but Rian enjoy her job.

In the second weeks of February 2022, the writer heard the news that Rian moved to another department, Dinas Bina Marga Cianjur. The news made all of us shocked. Rian had worked since 2004. We couldn’t imagine how could she move to the different department? Rian is a structural PNS. One of her partners said that being a structural officer should be ready to move to another department.

A farewell event was held to appreciate Rian as a smart worker. We felt sad because of her moving. One of my friends said, “We will know how precious someone is when she has gone”. I thought that statement is true. The headmaster and the Management Team should find someone who worked smart as Rian did.

One thing that we should know that everything that happens to us is given by our God, Allah S.W.T. Allah knows what the best for us. Rian moves to another department is the best choice from Allah for now. She can learn news things. It is the right time for her to come out from comfort zone. It means it’s the right time to get new knowledge and skill that she has never known before. One day, when she thinks it’s better for her to come back to our school, she will have new things. Wherever she goes, she always be the best.
