In 2016 I went to Solo to represent my city, Jepara in the provincial level songwriting competition. I traveled for about five hours to get there. I left at 6 am, and got there around 11 am. When I got there, I was placed in one of the best hotels in Solo. There I met a lot of people, from various places and various branches of competition. After that I went around looking at the surrounding scenery before finally entering the room where I rested, with several people there. And in the afternoon I take part in the Technical Meeting to find out what the rules are in the competition that I will follow.
The next day, the day I competed, there were about 35 participants from cities in Central Java. I was very nervous there and very happy at the same time. Even though I didn't become a winner, at least I got a valuable and memorable experience, and met new people and friends.
