BEGIN AGAIN...


This time, I urge myself to write down something in this tiny wall as it will be a reminiscence of my journey over the course of my life in this universe.  

I graduated from Mataram university in September 2013- Bachelor degree in science chemistry. Since that time, I managed to work than pursue my master because I needed to cope with financial problem in my daily life. Fortunately, one of my lectures in Mathematics and Science faculty gave a chance to work as a freelance in Research Centre and Environmental Studies, an environmental department of Mataram University. For me, that was tremendous opportunity to begin my career as a worker.   

At first, it was really delightful because I could keep up my standards of living with my monthly salary. On the other hand, I felt something was wrong with the decision that I made. When most of my classmates were grabbing their chances to get their further educations, I just got stuck on my daily activity as a worker. Yet a moment in the edge of December 2014 changed everything.

It’s still fresh in my mind when I stood in front of my work-desk along with all my mates. In that time, each of us began to talk and pronounce our dreams and expectations for a year to come. When it came to my turn, I spontaneously stated “I want to enhance my English proficiency to pursue my Master and Ph.D”. And I thought everyone was astounding with my statement even me, myself. Since then, while continuing my work in the office, I kept struggling, praying and waiting for the dreams come to be reality.

Time flies really fast, in beginning of 2015 I encouraged myself to apply for ELTA (English Language Training Assistance) supported by AAS (Australian Awards Scholarships). Unfortunately, I failed at interview process. I had ever felt frustrated as I did not succeed it but my surroundings – my parents, supervisor (Professor Ir. Surya Hadi, M.Sc. Ph.D), and my mates – aided me to revive. Consequently, in March I registered to a scholarship provided by ministry of finance, commonly known as LPDP Scholarship. At that time, I was not an expert in spoken English, my TOEFL score was only 477. However, it was sufficient to enrol the scholarship.

Shortly, everyone might say “Waiting was really tedious” but with patience and the assistance of my supervisor I succeeded in preliminary and interview process. And Now, I become an awardee of one of prestigious scholarships funded by my own country. I certainly fell over the moon but my journey is still half way through. You know, becoming awardee may seem really fantastic and Grrrreeaaatttt. However, there is paramount responsibility for me to share this feeling to all people in Indonesia, especially the next generations.

Before stepping further ahead, I must fight for my English, here in Yogyakarta. Thus, I can communicate well in my future university with my international networking and my friends all around the world.



See you next time….

Let’s make INDONESIA to be Super Power country within religious atmosphere.
