About Us

My name is Ni Komang Sri Nuryanti. I was born on the 2nd of November 1982. I am number three in my family, which is why my name is Komang. The names of my parents are I Wayan Warta (almarhum) and Ni Ketut Ruja. I have one older brother and two sisters. The names of my siblings are I Putu Muliarta, Ni Kadek Juliartini (almarhum) and Ni Ketut Ely Diantari. When I was young, my family lived in Rendang, Karangasem. My mother sold items in the market, and my father was a farmer.

When I was nine moon from born, my sister passed away after a motor bike accident. My father was always getting sick after my sister passed away. When I finished junior high school, we moved to Lombok because my brother got married there, and he brought our family to stay with him. I started my senior high school studies in Lombok and continued there for three years. I nearly finished senior high school when my father passed away. After senior high school, I worked in Lombok for six moon.

My mother, sister and my bother still live in Lombok now, but I returned to Bali by myself and stay in a rent house in Denpasar. I got a job in Bhakti Rahayu and worked there for three and a half years. Then I moved to Puri Bunda, and I have been working there until now. When I am in Bali, of course I miss my family, but I save them in my heart. I see my family one time in two moon. Sometimes I go to Lombok to see them, and sometimes they come to Bali to see me. If I stay with my family in Lombok, I can help my mother with cooking and do house work. Also, I can help my family if they need something from me.

When I was working in Puri Bunda, I really wanted to go to university for a special nursing program. I want to be a professional nurse. I saved my money from work, and then I registered in university at Poltekes Denpasar in 2006 to start my studies. I was very happy about this, and my family was too.

After one year, I did not have enough money to pay for my studies any more, so I had plans to take a break from school, but then Putu Ardana introduced me to Mike, Scott and Nee Lee. Mike told me he will help me continue studying at the university. Mike paid for my tuition and also sends money every moon to help me. I am very happy and lucky! Now everything is good with my study and my job is going well. I will graduate next year in April, and I hope to start work as a professional nurse. I do not know how to say thank you to my god and Mike. I love Mike.
