The Piece of Story

By : A’inatul Mardliyah

Tonight, i have a great story. I must do my task to be a resource person in Laskar Ambisius’s programme, “Kajian Keilmuan”. I decide to choose a material about “Anti-corruption Education”. Because education is my specification. I read some articles about it and i make a powerpoint presentation.

Beside of it, i must prepare my motivation material to be delivered to my friends. I choose motivation about “How to get scholarship to study abroad quickly”. I read an article in Kompasiana. The author is someone who get a schoolarship in University of Manchaster, UK.  His name is Budi Waluyo. He offers five tips to get a scholarship quickly. The first tip is “we must understand about the five requirements of scholarship and try to comply it”. The five requirements is : TOEFL, work experience, organization experience, publication, and planning research in the future.

The second tip is “we must make a good plan and preparation”. We must fill the application form of scholarship carefully. And try to do our plan earlier. Do not wait for the deadline. The third tip is “we must keep the good relation with our lecturer and our job leader”. Because we will need the recommendation letter from them to complete the application form. The fourth tip is “we must know about the kind of scholarship and choose the scholarship that suitable with us.” It is important, because there are many kinds of scholarship. And we must analyse it. So, we can be accepted. And the last but not least is “we must increase our ibadah’ and do not forget to keep praying.” Because our God will help us to make our dream come true. Aamiin.

From the article i learn about the process. There is no good result without good process. The author tell to us about his great plan and effort to make his dream to study abroad come true. He prepare all of his need for a long time. The other people just know about his succes but they do not know how hard he is trying.

My second obligation in Kajian Keilmuan is to deliver my learning material. Alhamdulillah... I am satisfied about my presentation tonight. My friend, Tutut, also delivers her presentation. She talks about “the disunity of ethnic”. Tutut says that we must keep our unity even if we live in the country wich is have multicultural ethnic. Because the differences is beautiful.

We have a guest from North University of Malaysia. Actually,he is from Sumenep, Madura. And he got a scholarship in Doctoral Programme. He shares about his experience. And we are very exited. Some of us ask to him. And he says that all of the pain is nothing. Because we must keep trying to reach our dream. And the important thing is “we must keep praying”. We call it as “jalur langit”. The impossible thing can be happenned if we ask for help to our God. And don’t forget to do the good deeds to our parent. It is the key of success.
