"Too often in life, we focus on the things we cannot do. Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations, health limitations, family limitations, educational limitations, and so on. Sometimes, we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals."
- Catherine Pulsifer, from What You Can Do -

Korennya koren..korennya koren..” Bapak pedagang koren selalu lewat saat saya sedang di kelas Pronounciation sore hari. Awalnya saya dan teman-teman bingung, bapak itu jualan apaan sih, koren itu apa? Hmm..setelah liat apa yang di bawa bapak itu, ternyata si bapak jualan jagung rebus. Jagung dalam bahasa inggris = corn. Jadi dengan logat Jawanya, Bapak itu melafalkan Corn dengan “Koren”.
Di lain tempat, sang Ibu pemilik sebuah warung makan, selalu menerjemahkan dalam bahasa inggris untuk lauk pauk yang kami minta, Bu, nasinya pake telur sama sayur ya” sang Ibu membalas "Rice with egg and vegetables” saya tersenyum-seyum, “Yes, madam.. How much?”. Sang Ibu menjawab lagi " three thousand”. Tampaknya sang Ibu menghafal dengan giat kata demi kata itu ^_^
Ada Bapak penjual Roti Bakar, yang setia lewat depan Camp dan berteriak “Roti Bakar !!” (dengan logat yang selalu membuat kami tertawa). Ada juga Es Dawet, Bakso Malang, Siomay, Es Teh, hmm..apalagi ya.. yang jelas para penjual keliling itu adalah orang yang sama, dan mereka adalah satu-satunya di bidang penjualannya (kecuali bakso malang ada 2 kalo ga salah)
