PERSONAL STATEMENT



I am an English Language and Education undergraduate student from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana who want to continue to study abroad. In my hometown, we can only go abroad by working as TKI/TKW. Having much money can be another reason. This perception makes me hooked to prove that knowledge can bring us to go abroad without money by taking a scholarship program. I want to study English and Modern Language at Oxford University. My desire to study at Oxford University is caused by the title of one of the best colleges in the world. This college is also produces qualified graduates. So, With my ability to undertake to do things as best as possible with perseverance, I will not miss the opportunity to participate in this scholarship program.



Strongly decent personalities and skills embedded since I was young. When I was in high school and college, I was active to participate in some organizations. I can learn what leadership, responsibility, and honestly is like. I had learned how to manage my time during the busyness without disappointing others. Even had a problem, I tried to give my best. I had had a good relationship with other people who had a different perspective from me. This made me more able to overcome any situation that came into my life. The positive impact that I got was also influential for people around me. With so many activities that I must do, I learned to put aside my selfishness. Thinking that my life was not only for me but also for those around me. Then I really like to speak English, so this hobby brought me to be the winner of the 2015-2016 National Youth Student Debate Competition in PEM Akamigas Cepu, Central Java. In this event, I struggled with two of my colleagues and successfully won the title of the 1st champion.



Having great skills and personalities from my university are a prominent modal to me. As an undergraduate student of English Language and Education program, I become one of the students who have additional point compared with other participants who don't learn English intensively in their college. Listening, writing, and reading skills have inventoried in my mind. They are what I always practice all day. Actually, I think that my English skills are still lacking if I don't improve my listening skill because the speed of the foreigners when they are speaking is very different from Indonesian. So, This makes me excited to practice day after day. It can be listening to the news or the radio. Then speaking in English is my gladness. I like to speak English with my close friends thus far. It helps me to make my pronunciation more fluently. I always find whether any speaking event or competition is caught in my ear. I want to participate in any event of Debate Competition because it makes feel the challenging atmosphere. By doing many tasks and activities I have ever experienced



in my college, I become a better person. It changes me to think about what will happen for the next. So, I am the kind of person who is never late to do anything now because I always manage my time well.



Becoming an English teacher motivated me to make something special for my students. I just want to be a teacher. Not just an ordinary teacher, but become a teacher who is knowledgeable. Being a teacher who is able to give positive vibes to the students. Creating a familiar situation for a better understanding of the students' need. Motivating to the students that finding a knowledge is boundless. Therefore, through this scholarship program, I want to change the mindset of other people to know how important an education is. I am also dreaming about the future of Indonesia, this country will be one step ahead with another country.



In conclusion, I will use my experience, modal, and personality that I have along with a university degree at Oxford University to attain my dream. By founding free schools and helping mendicants to get their education right in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. So, Indonesia will be an advanced country in education and have a prosperous life in all fields.
