Starfruit, (malangkota.go.id) – Who doesn't know Yohana Febrianti Hera? She is a special needs woman who is a finalist on X Factor 2013. On International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2021, she performed stunningly in front of people with special needs at the Atria Hotel, Malang City, Tuesday (7/11/2021). Yohana performed a song by Tulus entitled Manusia Kuat.
Because of Yohana's great performance, the special needs resident of Malang City hysterically asked to sing another song. However, due to her tight schedule, the daughter of Persema Malang player Johanes Geohera could not fulfill the request.
After singing, Yohana admitted to the media that she rarely appears on screen because of the many requests to appear in various regions. She admitted that appearing in Malang City was something very enjoyable, especially to commemorate International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
"Whatever our circumstances, never give up. Always be grateful and continue to work according to our abilities," added Yohana.
Thanks to continuous learning, Yohana proved that even though she cannot see, she can achieve various achievements. Starting from appearing on X Factor to completing her studies at the English Department of Brawijaya University in the 2017/2018 academic year.
Regarding her achievements so far, Yohana said that it was inseparable from the strong support of her family and environment so far. She admitted that the support made her more confident. So that Yohana could overcome the many views that are still wrong about people with disabilities.
"Some people still look down on people with special needs. But I emphasize, humans have different abilities. This is where the family comes to provide encouragement and prayers," said Yohana.
In addition to family support, what is no less important for people with disabilities is to remain confident and always be grateful. Where limitations are not an obstacle to achieving success.
"Don't let limitations become an obstacle to achieving dreams and what you aspire to. Even though you have shortcomings, don't close yourself off," said Yohana.
For families who have children with special needs, Yohana said, remain grateful and educate them well. Families must provide encouragement and convince their children that they can achieve their dreams. (cah/ram)
