Letter about my goals

Wednesday, 30 January 2019

Dear myself in the future, 10 years from now,

   Hi! This is me from 2019 when I was still an eleventh grade student. I was so curious about you. What are you becoming now? What's your job? What faculty did you enroll when you're still in college? Are you happy and healthy? Or have you died then? I hope you haven't. I really wanted to know if I can achieve all my goals in the future. Anyways, my intention to write this letter, beside to fulfill English's task, is to remind you about our goals when we're 16 (almost 17) years old. Check this out.

   Firstly, I want to enter medical faculty of UGM and becoming an obgyn-specialist doctor as my plan A. The reason is because I want to help pregnant woman to keep safe and healthy, and also help them give birth succesfully because right now, the number of death to woman because of giving birth is still high. That's why I want to help to reduce it. I think I have a rather good memory so maybe it'll help me in this faculty. If it's not UGM, I'll take medical faculty in other places, maybe in UNPAD, Unair, or wherever, but not UI because I have my own reason about that.

   Secondly, my plan B is I want to enter Psychology faculty of UNPAD or UGM, because I have some passion about studying other people's feelings and how to resolve their mental problem. I think one of my strength is that I'm a good listener. I'd prefer to hear people speaking than to speak in front of many people. I also like to observate other people, questioning what are they thinking about, what do they feel, etc. But one of my problems is also that it's hard for me to speak what am I thinking so sometimes I can't give people some proper suggestions of how to solve their problems because I can't tell them what's in my mind accurately. So yeah, I  have to fix it.

   My plan C is that I want to enter business management school of UGM (it is my dream campus). Why? Because I've always dreaming about having and managing my own tourism place or hotel. I'd like to have a business in hospitality.  I love to visit tourism places in other cities so I was dreaming about working or having my own tourism place in Indonesia or in somewhere else where people can have fun together there and make it as a favorite destination place. Right now I was dreaming about having a sea-amusement-park along with an underwater hotel. Everyone can dream about anything, right? Even if it seems impossible for now.

   Well, I think that's all from me for now. Have you achieve those goals? Which plan do you take? Or do you ended up in none of these plans? Whatever it is, I hope I can achieve those goals and become a successful person in the future.

Goodbye. I wish you all the best!

Edu Passion 2019

Edu Passion 

    Last Thursday, my school SMAN 3 Bandung held an event called Edu Passion. It is an event where you can get many informations about many university and faculty. There were a lot of university's stan, like UNPAD, UGM, ITB, Tel-U, and many more. Not only university stan, there were also a non-university stan, such as english course stan, bank stan, study course stan, food stan, etc.

    My friend, Fira, and I visited almost every stand, and we even got some of the university's merchandise from some stan. One of the stan that we visit was Tokyo University's stan. Here are the result of our interview in that stan.

Us: Hello, what stan is this?

Her: This is Tokyo University's

Us: Does Tokyo University give any scholarship for foreign students?

Her: Yes, we provided scholarship, but only for the Business Economics' students and International Relationship's students.

Us: So you don't have scholarship for those who are not in Business Economics or International Relationship?

Her: Yes. We have other faculty, such as engineering, medicine school, etc but there are no scholarship for them. But we are opened for foreign students.

Us: If we enroll to Tokyo University, should we mastering Japanese or should have minimum score of Japanese language test?

Her: No, there are no minimum score as a condition, because if you take the scholarship, you will be in an international class, so you'll use English instead of Japanese. Unless if you're not taking the scholarship, you will be in regular classes so it's better for you to learn Japanese. Don't worry, we also provide Japanese language courses.

Us: What is the benefit if we take the scholarship?

Her: You'll be free from all the school's fee, and also we'll provide for you a homestay there. So you only need to provide your own transportation here and your daily needed, for example if you want to go shopping you'll have to pay by your own.

Us: Oh... okay. Well then, thank you for the information. 

Her: You're welcome.

So that's our interview. Here's the picture of us together in Tokyo University's stan.
