My Experience toward Paramadina Fellowship 2009 (tugas bahasa inggris 1)

I  was known as a bad and obsilient boy when I was still in junior high school. Actually, I don’t know why I was granted  that brand on that time, but it was sticken on me  for a long time. After I graduated from junior high school, strangely, I could study in high quality senior high school. At that moment, I really hoped that I could be free from  this “bad boy” brand.  I started my new life as a pretty good senior high school student by achieving high rank. Altough maybe people thought, “Of course you can have a high rank in such an easy rivalry like that!”, it made my confidence arise and believe that I can do it. Since that, I tried to be an active student in both formal and informal activities in my high school.

The day went brighter when I was succesfully selected to be a delegation in Chemist Olympiad by my own prespiration. I was getting more and more sure that a foolish man can’t be a foolish man forever. I suddenly remembered  when my teacher said that human brain’s activities isn’t always be stable, it can be good or bad. Maybe at that time, my brain worked well.

South Sulawesi Chemist Olympiad was begun. On Chemist Creativity Competition, I was not so sure that I will be the winner, but I succesfully achieved second rank in that competition because of my out-of-the-box creation. It was a blast and I was really satisfied. When HCl is reacted with alkali it definitely results salt and water. It is a law that can’t be changed. So, if we always focus to react like HCl and alkali, we will also get the certain result.

Time passes away, the National Exam finally came. The result?

“Horray! Horray!” That was words that came to my mouth after the announcement of national exam. I was very thankful to God I could graduate with a pretty good high score.

“Now is the time to think about entering college,” I thought. After I googled for a while, coincidently, I found an interesting information about fellowship in Paramadina University. I downloaded the form immediately and noted everything I need  for file completeness. When pessimitic feeling came, I felt that I can’t get through this. Fortunately, I have bestfriends that gave me motivation so that I could send my fulfilled form to apply fellowship in Paramadina in April 11, 2009. I was done everything that I could and, in my thought, at least it would become another experience for me.

I knew the result from the phone call of my best friend. We were asked to come to the next level test. I couldn’t believe I could  make it. The interview day finally came. At that day, I came at 8 a.m in a high class hotel in Makassar. There were so many thngs to be scored, from Psychology test until personal interview. After that, I was waiting for the result for about one month. It was so relieving to find out that my name was in the list of Paramadina Fellowship students. It was so unpredictable and a grateful moment.

Shortly, I am officially a college student in Paramadina University now. When I see so many high building in Jakarta, I believe they are waiting for a Masnur to give a difference.
