2020 had just passed. It was a year where I had some difficult times because not only did some of my resolutions fail, but I also had financial problems as the income from my book-selling business during the COVID-19 pandemic plummeted.

I believe that almost the average person who does not work as a government employee, during the pandemic period, has the same problem as mine.

I remember a month ago, I received a message sent by my child's teacher via WhatsApp, asking me to pay off the tuition fees of my child who was in arrears of up to 7 months.

Well, my youngest child goes to a private primary school, while the eldest goes to a government-owned primary school, free of charge.

I was grateful, at that moment I immediately remembered that I still had more than 1000's of HIVE in my Binance wallet.

At that time, I immediately exchanged it in IDR to pay off my child's education fee arrears. Well, at least that helps me a little.

2020 had just passed. Welcoming the new year 2021, I have several resolutions for myself and my family. For some of them, I have to patch failed resolutions in the past year.

My first wish, I want this pandemic to end soon. In the previous year, I had a resolution of wanting to finish reading 20 literary fiction books and then wanting to write a short story fiction in the hope that it could be published in newspapers, magazines, or electronic media. But it can't happen, and I'm determined to do it in 2021.

This year, my eldest child will finish elementary school. He has a desire to attend one of the best private junior high schools in Lhokseumawe City. Of course, I have to prepare quite expensive tuition fees so that he can be accepted into there.

Besides that, I also want to get around the island of Sumatra-Java on my "PIO" motorbike. It's my old wish that hasn't been fulfilled. Hopefully, I can make it happen this year with HIVE.
