Be good, february.

Hello! Today i want to share with you all that i am totally happy. First of all, thank to SIM who asked me to be one of their student ambasaddor in this event. As i said in the previous post, Student ambasaddor is one of my current activity besides my participation as executive comittee in Film And Performing Art. So, Basically today there was a special event "A short Visit by 33 Catholic Principles and Teachers From Jakarta." They intended to know more regarding the education system in Singapore in order to achieve higher quality level of education in Indonesia . Thereby, one of the representative from SIM explained to them all about my university from basic. In SIM, there were 4 universities which all of them is the result of collaboration between SIM to university among the world since long time ago. Just a little bit introduction, the 4 university comes from United Kingdom ( University of London ), Australia ( RMIT ) , America, and etc. The explanation was covered from how to apply as student to the approximation living cost in Singapore. After the short explanation, we as student ambassador were asked to share our experiences as international student who are comin from Indonesia and pursing the degree abroad. It went smoothly. Continue to next cluster, which is Question and Answer. They could ask every single question to bring a clearer picture into their mind. The most hardest question that i got is, "Have you ever think to come back to your mother country and distribute your knowledge to indonesian people?" While all of the others ambassador seemed to face difficulties in order to answering this question, i surely answered to her question. "Yes, i will do" Thats one of my sole task to going back to Indonesia and help through education to promote sustainable economic stability in my country. Being actively participated in political environment is one of my dream. I surely believe that vigarous politic determine all of the system that operate in country.. In Indonesia itself, there is a lack consideration from goverment to increase attention in education. It disable Indonesia to provide high skilled labour to be employee by multinational companies. Hence, Mullinational companies will not feel save to put their investment in Indonesia because of this issued. A level of employment will reduce and it will bring economy stability in particular country. I could saw from their face that they're pretty satisfied with my answer. yaay! :) The next thing student ambasaddor must do was to bring them around the campus to introduce and make them familiar with the environment. Finally, the short visit was ended with lunch together. We also did not forget to take some pictures by using their cameras. I should wait till they contact me through email and will ask them to send me one of them :)

There are lot of questions like this during the campus tour "What advantages and disadvantages that you experience from living far away from parents?" "Why you choose take your degree in singapore not in Indonesia?"
Well, in my personal opinion, i could say that there is less difference whether you want to continue your education achievement in Indonesia or go abroad. I have trully said that education system in Indonesia is not working well in any case, but some of the popular university that i knew offering the same programme with the same module as Singapore. It is not about the programme that i take, or even to maintance this belief that people who are studying abroad are commonly rich. No, it is more than that.  From the first time i knew that studying abroad is not an easy step. It is about the wildest experiences that you will get. I learn how to survive without my parents intervention in any decision that i have taken . I independently learn how to cook, how to wash my clothes, how to wake up as discipline as i could, how to deal with management time. Also, i emphazie more in the relationship toward other. What i mean here is how we could step out from our comfort zone and looking for a new friends that will influence your life in your future. I want to make a friend with all people around the world that enable me to enhance my language skil or looking for some oppurtunities to enlarge my dad business operationl. Studying abroad is really decions from your deepest heart. Anyway, decisions never lead us to right or wrong. so, dont be afraid to make decions!
