MUTIARA PUTRI PRATIWI_112014075
This is a short biography of Dedy Raharjo
Wicaksono Putro, one of my cousins who always becomes my idol. Dedy Raharjo
Wicaksono Putro was born in a town named Salatiga, Jawa Tengah on December 6
1974. His mother, Sri Rahayu gave birth to him with a great love. Rudy Bintarto
as his father felt blessed on the birth.
His parents want their child to become a
successful person. Therefore, Dedy learns how to be a disciplined, hard-working,
polite and smart person. Hopefully those attitudes can encourage him to reach
his parents’ dream. He keeps them to make his life better and better.
Dedy
and his family moved to Surabaya in 1978 and he completed his childhood there.
In 1986, he finished his study in the Christian school of Sidoarjo, Santa
Amalia 2 Elementary School, well. There, he learnt to respect the elders by
listening his nun’s stories. He also tried how to be an active student at that
moment. His friends and teachers knew him as a good student. Dedy has a great
father who helped him and his friends to do any assignments, especially
mathematics. He graduated from Junior High School 12 Surabaya in 1989.
When he was at Senior High School in 1990,
stroke attacked his grandmother. Therefore, for months, he and his brother had
to help their parents. Dedy and his brother supported their family and did some
housework because of that. At that time, he felt that his family’s financial
condition got worse. Therefore, he had an idea to reach his ambition by continuing
his study without spending a lot of money.
In 1992, Dedy tried to find scholarship until
his uncle gave him a good news. There was a college which provided some kinds
of scholarships. It was Pembangunan Nasional Veteran University, Jakarta. Weeks
later, his uncle told him about another college. It was a Bond Depatment School
named Sekolah Tinggi Sandi Negara (STSN). Everyone knew that people would get a
job easier and didn’t cost much if they chose STSN. Dedy was known as a clever
student. Happily, he was accepted at that college in 1992.
Dedy had some work experiences. In 1995, he got
a job at STSN Office of Education as a manager of the computer laboratory.
Then, he became a researcher at STSN Research and Development Department in
1997.
In early of 2002, he worked at the Coordinator
Minister for Political and Security Affairs. In October 2002 until May 2003, he
also worked at the last field, but it wasn’t at the same place. At that moment,
he was chosen to get his duty in Ambon. Then, in 2004 to 2006, he was back to
STSN and worked at the Deputy of Security. Because of the last experience, he
got the duty for several times to guard the President and Vice-President.
Dedy was transferred to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs in the middle of 2006. The Minister gave him a duty to Budapest,
Hungary. In 2012, he came back to Indonesia. Then he was inagurated as a Chief
of Sub-Field Communication Training at the Minister of Foreign Affairs until
now.
The distance where Dedy got his duty and the
place where his special girl took her study wasn’t so far. It was a reason why
their love story went smoothly. Until on July 10 2004, Dedy Raharjo Wicaksono
Putro got married with his special girl, Fransisca Octoriza Erstyani. Dedy and
Riza were granted one handsome and smart son on March 13 2006. His name is
Jeremiah Darian Raditya.
Dedy had the same basic education as his wife’s.
Riza had an experience working at a Nike company. Dedy worked in the Minister
of Foreign Affairs. The similarity between them was that they have worked in
office affairs. It makes Dedy’s career becomes better and better, because his
wife knows how to work in office affairs. Therefore, his wife always supports
him.
Dedy usually prays and feels blessed in any condition.
He has a motto, “Find your God, and everything will be added”. That motto keeps
him to enjoy his life and his work happily.
