Being a primary
school teacher had been my dream since I was a kid. After I finished my study
in SMA Negeri 3 Pontianak, I started being busy choosing which university I
wanted to continue my study to. I actually wanted to continue my study outside Kalimantan.
But, my parents did not permit me due to some problems. Finally, I took state
university in Pontianak.
I took SNMPTN and
chose Primary School Teacher Education of Tanjungpura University and Primary
School Teacher Education of Yogyakarta State University. But I did not accepted
at any of it. Not so long after that, I took the second chance called SBMPTN and
had three choices. The first one was School Teacher Education, the second was
Islamic Economy, and the last was Sosiatri.
It was all in Tanjungpura University.
But the result was
the same. I did not accepted at any program. I was very sad and stressed at the
same time. But my parents and friends kept supporting me and it was what made
me could stand up again and be spirited. I decided to take the third chance,
Tanjungpura University’s Independent Pathway. I kept working on it and studying
hard. On that test, I had two program choices, Social Education and State
Administration. I chose Social Education because this was a new program and the
only one in Kalimantan. And I chose State Administration of Social and
Political Science Faculty because my father was an alumnus of it.
The result of
Tanjungpura University’s Independent Pathway was announced on 8th of
July 2016 at 8.30 A.M. and I was accepted! I was so excited and grateful. I
would make my dream come true: being a teacher. Although I was not accepted at
Primary School Teacher Education, I was still grateful that I had been accepted
as Tanjungpura University student.
