"Actually, I want to, but I'm afraid to disappoint everyone later, rather than being given a scholarship but I'm lazy," said Roy in the Dukuh Atas area, Friday, July 22.

Roy explained that the world of education is important, but there is a need to make money at this time more important.

"I really support Mr. Sandi's scholarship program, because it's very good," he said.

Roy also added that he would temporarily focus on making money first.

"I want to focus on making money first, I have a sister who is also 7 years old, and I often give money from my work to my parents," he admitted.
